Don't 'f' with the screenprinters...

Andy and his friend Ryan took a screenprinting class in Chicago. On the last day Andy brought the camera and got pictures.

Andy didn't realize until after Ryan got the shots what his apron said...

(We've never even 'f-ing' been to New Orleans!)









What got them through it all...the cup of coffee


Some of the finished products:

Super fans!

Ryan and Erika came over to watch the Super Bowl. (Well, the commercials, right? Who cares about football?)

Andy contemplates a play by the (enter team name here...)






Two on a couch


Now three...


Erika and I realized we missed the first part of "The Office" special that followed the SuperBowl. While the post-game stuff was going on, we turned the channel. When we turned back, "The Office" had already started. Bummer.


Game over.

Dog day afternoon (have I used this before?)

Bella loves the dog park. We haven't been very much because of the weather, but last weekend she got to go two days in a row. The first day I went by myself because Andy was at his screenprinting class.

While I was there, three women were also there with their dogs. They all looked like they were in their late 50s or early 60s and they were discussing men and the woes of on-line dating.

I was standing there with them, awkwardly, and one turned to me and said, "Are you married?" I said I was. The oldest woman in the group said, "Oh, well you're still young."

I laughed, awkwardly, but no one else did.

Now, on with the show:
Bella was excited to find a dog that would chase her...


She looks so happy at the dog park:

(Wow, see the dog peeing in the background! Bonus!)



Skippy!


This dog would run at full speed and plop down in the snow like so:


Bella likes to run with the big dogs:




Butts!


This dog desperately wanted Andy to throw the ball so he could chase it but the owner wanted the dog to socialize with the other dogs and asked people not to throw it. The dog wouldn't let up and Andy gave in once...

(And so the dog came back...)
