Day 42

Duchess and her charge (4/6/11)

It looks like our dog, Duchess, is protecting Natalie, faithfully watching over her beside the infant carrier. And that's a nice thing to think. But when this picture was taken, Aaron was seated in front of Duchess, eating dinner. Duchess had wedged her way between the couch and Natalie to get the best stare at Aaron, and to watch for dropage of any crumbs.
