Atticus Finch, our family's chocolate labrador, is finally home. We left him behind in Denver when we moved out here, but Saturday morning Emily's dad came for a visit and brought him along. We're glad to have him home and he is glad to be back with us. I completely forget how big he is and how annoying he can be... but I'm still glad he's here.
