We recently volunteered for the City of Charleston First Day Festival. This festival is full of vendors who give free school supplies to local students heading back to school. It is a celebration of beginning the new school year...and most of the children I spoke with were very excited about going back to school!

Pitiful Blaze

For anyone who was worried about Blaze (Andie...), his glaucoma test was negative! Yea! Now, we just have to treat his eye infection so that he's ready for the beach again. Poor little guy...he really knows how to milk us. His eye is just fine, until I say, "Blaze, how's your eye?", and then he starts squinting again! Spoiled rotten...

Day at the beach!

It doesn't happen very often, but Blaine actually does get some down time every now and then. We found some time recently to enjoy an afternoon at the beach with the dogs. Blaze loves the water--it is so funny to watch such a little dog run full speed into the waves! Holly, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with the water (so there are no pictures of her). I'm a little embarrassed to admit that we have only been to the beach a couple of times in the two and half years we've lived here! So funny how we take things for granted...

Welcome!

Welcome, family and friends, to our blog! We hope that this site will help keep all of you up-to-date on our lives here in Charleston. Please visit often to see what's new in the Baker household! Enjoy!

Much love,
Blaine and Jennifer
