Our boxer, Molly, takes off as soon as she sees, hears, or even smells a camera in her immediate environment. We are all set up to take photographs of us with our Grandson. Our daughter was behind the camera. Suddenly Molly came and sat down right down in front as proud as could be. Julie snapped one shot and she was GONE. No, she had done her part and that was it. We are tickled with how well this one shot turned out.

Peterson has just turned one year old and we so tickled to have him visit us for this happy occasion while his Daddy studies for the California Bar Exam. Don’t be surprised if you see this in our Christmas announcements.

Scroll down the Blog page to see other photographs of this young man in his blue linen birthday outfit. Grandpa says you better put him those kind of clothes now because he won’t wear that “stuff” for long. We really like this little golfing sweater vest! He is quite a “talker” as he turns one. Everyday he’s working on new sounds, babbling in sounds like an almost sentence, and two syllables sounds that are almost on the target like dawg-gee. He’s also asserting his independence in what he eats now. Our baby has become a little toddler!
