Our dogs can't get enough of the California sunshine and neither can we.

This blog has been created to update you--our family and friends--on all of the changes we are experiencing since our little family moved back to the West Coast. Most notably, of course: the new little one who just arrived.

We encourage ourselves and you to learn the lessons of the sundog: nourish your mind with rest, your body with vitamin D, and your soul with warmth
. Oh, and don't forget to sniff when something interesting wafts by.

Love, Mary & Ryan

Christmas in Rocklin

Ryan, the dogs, and I drove up to Rocklin (near Sacramento) to spend Christmas with Grandma Spaulding and Copper (most special senior dog in the Spaulding family) while Uncle Don, Aunt Jenny, cousins Kevin and Rachel, and their other two dogs were in Southern California visiting Jenny's family. We missed seeing the rest of the gang, but loved our time relaxing and eating with Grandma and Copper.

Have you ever tried posing 3 people and 3 dogs for a photo with a camera on self-timer? Here we are in front of the big Christmas tree, not succeeding at it.



Missing two faces
Lucy still blocking Grandma, Copper taking up the whole bottom of the shot. Wow, is he big!
Good one of the people, anyway. I think Ryan's starting to lose it...






The best of the not-so-great.

Nice one of Grandma.
