We have been very lucky to have Grammy Pat as our resident photographer over the past 19 months and haven't taken Tad to a photo studio. We decided to get some more formal shots earlier this month. The photographer nicely kept describing Tad as "very active". If she wasn't getting paid, she might have used another word as Tad ran around the studio, got into everything and tried to scale the festive backdrop. We couldn't get him to sit on the cute sled, but he lit up when the photographer brought out the "orse". After sending out our holiday cards we got several inquiries about the frenchies as we had included a photo of the smooshed face pups in years past. They are doing well (pretty much status quo - they are both snoring loudly next to me on the couch as I write this post), but definitely play second fiddle to baby brother. Tad adores Tuggie and Abbe (he's given Abby the french accent that she always felt she deserved) and seems to keep the peace by regularly feeding them people food so they tolerate random ear pulling, high pitch squeals and being chased around the house.
