Mom was playing with her camera again, trying to figure out the self-timer settings. To do so, she used herself and also enlisted me as a test subject. This is one of the photos she managed to get...and while from a technical aspect it's not what she hoped...she loves it for what it is!

Since my Mom and Dad first brought me home with them from Massachusetts two+ years ago, I've been living with my Mom in Pa. Of course, we DO spend a lot of time in NJ as well...but when it came down to 'home' for me that was always with Mom in PA. Well...now 'home' is going to be at my Dad's in NJ. Which means my blog posts may be even more sporadic then they already are, since Mom is my blog assistant.  Don't get the wrong idea, this isn't bad news! Just...different.  Even if I won't be posting, I'm going to do my best to make sure Dad sends Mom a text daily to make sure she's staying up to date with Blogville....so that on her day's off from work when she comes for visits she is all up to date with the going-ons! 

Or as I'm going to call this post....'A Total Lack of Wesley!' even though this is MY blog! How many butterflies can YOU count here? If you guessed because there were lots of butterflies, you were correct!  Mom just loves butterflies (she even has a simple tattoo of one on her left shoulder) so anytime she spots any she tends to need to stop and admire it until it flutters away. Most of the butterflies were of this variety: Mom thinks, after some researching, that's it's something called a Great Spangled Fritillary , though she's not 100% sure. There are a few different types of butterfly all called that look exceedingly similar and it's making it hard to believe that she is 100% right.  HA! Like that's possible! That wasn't the only type there though! There were also a few of these guys: Now he was much easier to identify - it's called Silver-Spotted Skipper ! The last type of butterfly Mom spott...

Hello out there, world! Wesley the mini parti poodle here. Mom got me my very own blog, and I'm so super excited about it! That picture above is me. Well...my back in June when I was still a little fluffy baby. That is one of the first every pictures my momma took of me when she got me home. Wow,  I was tiny. And fluffy! Oh, and this is the VERY FIRST EVER picture mom got of me! It's me and mom, and I'm giving her my sweet puppy kisses for the first time ever. She and her boyfriend had just picked me up after a looooong car ride from New Jersey to Massachusetts to bring me home.  Mom says the car ride back was long too, but I don't remember, I slept the whole way! But that's enough of the past, this is me now: I grew from cute to downright handsome...and I am nowhere near done growing yet! I'm still only 5 months old - a baby! Can you imagine how much more handsome I'm going to grow to be?! Mom can't! She also can't wait to share with...
