(Part I is available here.)

August:

Phase 2 of the "nest". I built it to the dimensions of the dog beds that Costco sells. They love their bunk beds! (Phase 3 involved re-doing the boards that support the top part of the nest. Now the weight of all 3 dogs is more evenly distributed.)

Marlena 2.0, with Lisa, our stylist.

September:

(Note: As soon as I get the photo gallery kinks worked out, the larger set of photos for the following trip will be posted online.)

We enjoyed a whirlwind trip to Milwaukee and Chicago. Here is Ethan's family.

Marlena at the Olympic oval in Milwaukee.

Chicago skyline, as the drab weather gave way to sun.

Meetup with Beth Kujawski. Note: Cafe Iberico has amazing (and cheap!) tapas.

Our reflection outside the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Entrance (!) to the Milwaukee Art Museum.

November:

Petey tries to spread holiday cheer.

We were too busy hosting Thanksgiving this year to take (m)any pictures, so I'm recycling this photo of Anthony and Idir checking out the Southfork Ranch.

December:

Christmas brunch at Kim's house.

Thanks to the DigiKam photo management application for giving me the "year in pictures" inspiration. <EM>
