Dachshund days of summer

Well summer vacation is almost officially over and Daddy will be returning to work for his twentieth-ish year of teaching. Mommy will be mostly staying at home with Isaac (she will continue to be the music director at St. Clement's and will also be teaching a course at CCBC and giving a few piano lessons). 

We've been enjoying this weather and spending a lot of mornings out on the deck, "poolside".

On Saturday morning Isaac lead an important early morning meeting of the dachshunds. (Lady is in retirement so she didn't make it to the meeting.)

Cheering on the O's with Daddy and visiting with Mommom:

This week Isaac went "swimming" twice.  He revisited his inflatable pool on the deck for a little splashing around.  Then on Sunday he also went swimming in a real inground pool! We went to Mrs. Ying's for a swim and some delicious homemade Chinese and Thai food.  The Wickless's were there too so we were able to talk about our camping trip coming up in a few weeks!!

Hmm...toe dip or belly flop?

Isaac spent some more time at church sitting with Daddy while Mommy played piano. He got a fun new toy - a homemade stuffed dog. Isaac seems to really love it! Especially the nose! It is as big as he is!

Isaac is becoming a bit more mobile in his crib and more times than not Mommy finds him in a totally different position than where she left him.  He is also getting better at holding some of his bottles.

He was asleep on his tummy the last time I was in there!

 

We'll end with a montage of good morning faces:
