"Aint nothing but a hounddog"

It's VIDEO time again (and yes, there is a terrible dirge of pictures available at the moment. This video is for a 2-pronged reason: 1. It shows how much Buck loves dogs, particularly our old dog, Bailey, who is living out his retirement years with Grandy and Grammy Grady (The Duke and Duchess). Bailey is obviously more happy with them than he ever was with us (Grady 2.0). 2. The Duke and Duchess are coming for a much anticipated visit on Friday!! We are very excited to see them and Buck has been beside himself making plans for airplanes and games. It's downright holiday mode here in casa de Grady.

This is one of my favorite videos. It's amazing to think how much Buck has grown and developed just since last December (I guess it is nearly a year ago now). Here, he was just begining to talk and understand - I contrast this with last night when he was pouring water over my head, eyes, cheeks and ears and saying each body part as he did it. He thought it was hilarious. I was just impressed that he could say each part and they say "Now...the other one."

On a final note, I would like to mention that there is SNOW in our forcast for Wednesday. Yes, you crazy people suffering through 90/32 and 100/37 degree weather, GET OVER IT and go put some flip-flops on for me.
