Tsuki and I try to keep Braden from playing too much xbox. (Note the new jeans!!)

This morning Tsuki is "helping" me work.

Tsuki laying like a cat in the sun yesterday afternoon.

Braden holding Tsuki at the Wine Country Dog Show today. She was a spectator, not a contestant. She couldn't figure out why none of the dogs would stop to play with her (or even acknowledge her existence), but by the end she was getting pretty comfortable. And many people liked to pet the "fox."

Weekend in Wisconsin

We went back to Wisconsin for my high-school friend Cory's wedding. We got to see my good friends Paul and Kelly, too. We spent time at my parents', and my dad had just gotten back from a trip to Moldova to help set up a community beef cow project. (Hence the photos of the great souvenirs.) We also took in Meghan's soccer game and had lunch with Braden's parents at Trocadero, generally prounounced a great find in Milwuakee.

Meghan and I in our Modovan blouses... who could tell we're sisters?

Matt and Braden looking fierce in their Moldovan army hats.

Meghan gives a big kick as Erin and the goalie look on.

Braden enjoys watching cold, rainy soccer.

Ah, late Sunday afternoon in the sun.

Another...

The Long-Awaited End of the Spay Saga

Today is Tsuki's last day of the cone!

Yay! Finally rid of the cone!

Here she is running around like crazy--first day of freedom.
