Dentist

Today was Zoe’s very first dentist appointment and she was nothing short of a rockstar! [singlepic=8340,350,250] She got to sit in the fancy chair: [singlepic=8341,350,250] [singlepic=8344,350,250] [singlepic=8345,350,250] The hygienist counted her teeth: [singlepic=8348,350,250] [singlepic=8351,350,250] Ellie enjoyed herself.  (Yes, we all went.  All four of us.)

Arcade Update – Shopping

Yesterday at Menards I picked up what I hope will be most of the materials I will need for the cabinet. [singlepic=8161,320,240,,center] I also got the first set of pieces measured: [singlepic=8173,320,240,,center] and cut: [singlepic=8174,320,240,,center] [singlepic=8176,320,240,,center] I actually got the base fully assembled today, I’ll add a picture next time I update.

Pet Parade

Another Poop Story

Oddly, this one doesn’t involve Zoe or Ellie at all, the unfortunate person was Molly. With the weather turning nice, one of Zoe’s favorite things to do is “eat outside, eat outside, eat outside, . . .”. So Sunday we brought our lunch out back. Just as we were finishing up this bird: landed right […]
