Not a whole lot is going on right now – well, not enough to warrant its own blog post, anyway. In any case, I’ve compiled what’s been happening lately over in our neck of the woods. Today Jackson turned 10 months! He weighs about 70 pounds. He definitely has some growing to do still – …

This Week’s Happenings
It hasn’t felt like a particularly busy last few weeks but I guess things are happening and making time fly by, as per usual. Here are the happenings around the Allen household this week: Alex enjoyed a ski tour with Carrie and Patrick last weekend. They skinned up a trail somewhere near Stevens Pass, took …
Jackson’s Adventures with the Cone
Not 30 minutes after Alex picked Jackson up from being boarded after Christmas was he sitting in the vet’s office waiting to be examined. Jackson had extremely bad hot spots on his genital region, likely from anxiety, that had gone unnoticed while he was boarded for 5 days. The vet cleaned him up and sent …
Start of the Washington Ski Season
The weather in Washington has been awfully dry this winter which means it hasn’t snowed much in our Cascade mountains. This is quite disappointing for the skiers here! Our ski season started with two days in Breckenridge over Thanksgiving, and thankfully yesterday marked the end of our dry streak. Usually our ski season starts in …
Thanksgiving in Breckenridge
One of the perks of having family scattered across the country is that sometimes you get to pick a random place in the middle to meet for holidays.

Backyard Project… Take Five!
We are so very thankful to be able to own such a beautiful house and to have a backyard for our little pup to safely play in. That said, it sure is a lot of work keeping up with our bite-size backyard during the rainy season. In the three plus years of living in our …
Low-Key Weekly Recap
It has been a pretty low-key week here in the Allen household. We are finally easing our way into a pretty consistent routine and finding that we have some extra time on our hands. Here are some highlights from the week:
A Week of Pet Drama
The week started off with a trip to the vet for Jackson. He had been battling a bit of a cough for a while and we got a little paranoid that it was turning into pneumonia so we thought it would be best to bring him in. Thankfully he just has bronchitis, so we got …
7 Month Old Pup
Today marks the day when Jackson became a 7 month old puppy! It’s so hard to believe that we’ve had him since he was 7 weeks old and now he is 7 months old. Time has gone by soooo fast. Alex and I were recounting some memories this morning and it’s amazing how much our …
