Rye Loves Fat Albert

This cat spends most of his time trying to avoid people...and dogs. Rye and Ellie are making him look like a genius.

PIZZA!

This is a picture of Rye taken seconds after she ate at least three quarters of a piece of pizza at our local pizza and beer joint. I would've taken a picture of her eating it (meticulously cut into 9 month old sized pieces by the best mom in the world), but it would've been blurry...on account of the speed with which she maneuvered it into her mouth.

Crested Butte

We made our semi-traditional four hour trek to Crested Butte over the weekend with our good friends Robert and Mary.  We'd been looking forward to the trip for months and were anxious to introduce Rye to some of the greatest of the great outdoors.

The trip was terrific, but not without its hurdles. Rye had what we have decided was her first very noticeable illness the whole time and even into this week.  Once we got her to the doctor, we learned that it was a common virus and it just had to run its course. She was pretty miserable at times but really tried hard to have a good time. It was hard to watch her alternate between laughing and crying.

We got through it and we're glad we went, but we're hoping that next years trip to CB will be redemptive.

Here are some shots of Rhoda and Rye followed by the view from our house:
