family and goats

a handful of the promised pictures of my sisters-in-law... aren't they beautiful?

the next two are my favorites.

pouty.

as i said, they came up with my father-in-law early in march to visit. we went to the maple syrup festival at burton's maplewood farm. michelle and joanne took an obligatory picture with the horses. :) they also had a petting zoo (gotta love the goats). other than that, we did a lot of hanging around the house and playing games. it was really fun to have them here!

my parents are coming tomorrow (yay!) so i've got to go clean my house... be back again soon!

we just got back from a whirlwind weekend trip to savannah... sanders, my brother, is moving to france in a few days. he'll be gone almost a year, so we wanted to see him before he went... i'm still crossing my fingers that we'll somehow find a way to go see him in rennes too! :)

the other reason for our trip was that my childhood dog, bessie (aka bestie-beastie or bestie-beesting or elizabeth - her formal name), isn't doing so well. she is about 15 years old and has "arf-ritis" and doggie alzheimer's (or so we think). i was happy to get to see her and took tons of pictures of all of the animals (the only one missing here is midnight...she's a little shy in front of the camera). here are a few favorites...
