Introducing...

Hi, my name is Anna Belle'

I was born the Tuesday after Easter and I have 10 brothers and sisters.  One morning in early June, some people came and asked me if I would like to come and live with them at their house.

I was a little reluctant to leave my first Mommies... but they are very glad that my new family loves me so much.

I knew this little boy was going to become my new best friend... he brought me the best toy EVER:-)

At first I slept alot.... even during family boat rides....

As you can see I'm growing very quickly, Mommy says I'm going to be a BIG girl.

I get to play lots of games here, my favorite is Tug-O-War, or maybe it is chase, or it could be fetch... it's hard to decide.

I'm sure you will see a bunch more of me in the future, my Mommy loves to take lots of pictures of me:-)

Ode to Summer

Well it's was bound to happen sooner or later.... summer is coming to a close. So here is my tribute to our good ole' summertime.

Enjoying early morning coffee on the back deck in my favorite cotton gown.

Heading out for loads of adventures....

Rainbows at the beach

Finding the perfect shell... only this one was inhabited and had to stay

Visiting with family/loved ones

Bringing home a new friend

Boat rides

Celebrating birthdays...

...with cake and juicy sugar sweet watermelon



Perfect purple zinnias



Bumper crops of figs


Meeting at the lake

Cousins hanging out

Waiting out the rain

Washing up :)

Ohhhh, I will miss the dog days of summer.... hurry back, OK!?
