Cooler weather snoozin'

For the first time since early spring, Audace and Ruse are cuddling up together for their long afternoon naps and lat nighttime snoozes. Daytime -- still the same -- on their own, but when it counts, when it's cooler and cooler in the house, they cuddle up!

Open windows, at last

Grace, Audace, and Ruse really love it when I open a window or two or three in the house. Finally, the weather has cooled down so that we can do this ... and here's Audace, enjoying the fresh air!


And here is a little video of Audace in the window.

Cleaning up!

Frequently, Ruse cleans Audace or vice versa -- when their mom isn't cleaning one or the other. Now, they're all perfectly capable of independent cleaning, you understand, but I'm sure this is more thorough in some of those hard-to-get-to spots!


And here is a little video, showing that efficient cleaning action on Ruse's part. Enjoy!

All tuckered out

Grace and Ruse were all tuckered out after their exertions while putting last weekend's COTC together! Audace, however, is not tired at all -- in fact he's plotting his next surprise attack on his mom and brother!

BIG boy!

Audace is SOOOOO big. Noticeably larger than Grace and Ruse. Just look at the size of those feet! (I put my foot into the pic for comparison; I wear a women's size 8 shoe!!)

BIG boy! And full of zip and mischief!
