Pickles and Rufus had a good time with Aunt Josie this past weekend. It seems Rufus loves her belly rubs because he always asks for more:)

Pickles Aunt Josie has come to visit for the weekend. The two girls have gone to lunch and then will head to the Botanical Gardens. Rufus and Dad are working in the yard. Rufus is a great supervisor!

Yesterday, Pickles fell down on the playground and scraped her knee and leg. Rufus took care of his best friend when she got home by giving her lots of kisses and she is MUCH better today:)

Pickles and Rufus had lots of fun over the weekend. Now it’s back to school for Pickles and Rufus is snoozing under Mom’s desk as she works:)

Even though Pickles enjoys school, she is glad the weekend has arrived! She and Rufus plan to play outside all weekend in this beautiful weather and play time has already begun!

Anastasia has a spelling test tomorrow, so after play time with Rufus, it is study time. Rufus will snooze by her side while Mom calls out her spelling words:)

Anastasia is enjoying her first week in school. She loves her teacher and has already made a new friend. Rufus misses his best friend but enjoys the walks with her and Mom to and from the bus stop each day. Now the weekend is nearly here and playtime is just around the corner!

Today, Anastasia, her parents, and Rufus are going to a neighborhood picnic. Mom and Pickles made potato salad and homemade pickles from the cucumbers in their garden. Tomorrow is the first day of school! Happy Labor Day everyone:)

The final week of summer vacation is coming to an end. Pickles and Rufus have enjoyed playing together every day and will continue playing through Labor Day!

Anastasia was very upset when she saw the people struggling after Hurricane Harvey. She decided to send the money she saved this summer from doing chores to the victims. Mom is helping her research the best way to go about helping.
