OH! I am so behind in updating this blog - - but for happy reasons!

Sometimes, life gets in the way of doing the things one "needs" to do. But sometimes, it's because of wonderful occasions, as it has been for me these past days.

I have been blessed with wonderful house guests visiting one right after another, though it has meant my "administrative duties" have decidedly fallen by the wayside.  I am correcting that TODAY!

And, because of one of those house guests in particular, I have beautiful new pictures of the babies to post. My friend Alex drove a grueling 6 hours in bumper-to-bumper traffic from Manhattan to Rockport to visit with me and the pups.

While she was here, she turned her very talented eye and camera on my babies, and I think you will all be delighted by the results. There are so many wonderful pictures, I will post some today, more later. So I am calling this blog entry PART I.

I had a lot of fun taking pictures of her taking pictures of the babies ... of course, her beautiful shots really show me for the lacking photographer I am, but we can't all be good at everything! ;)

Oh, don't take our picture; cuddle with us instead!

Alex captures a tug-of-war between Piper and McGyver

"If you think I'm giving this up, you're sorely mistaken, buster!"

Chloe thinks maybe SHE would like to try to use the camera

Piper: "Do me a favor, okay? Try to get my good side in these shots."

"I'm ready for my closeup Ms. DeMille ... "

"How does 'shy and demure' work for this pose? Think it's a good way to go?"

Remember: just my good side, my GOOD side, please!

WHAT is Mr Moseley doing in MY frame?!

Oh, all right! "Hello World! I'd like to introduce my handsome brother to all my adoring fans."

Chloe gets a lesson in aperture settings

But she decides she makes a better subject than a photographer

A tisket, a tasket, an overflowing basket ...

Casting Call?!  Did someone say 'Casting Call!'  ??

Little Miss Bailey wishes you all a day as lovely as she
