Tyvand Update

I have not had much time to get online since I returned from Vegas. First I had to recover from four nights of drinking then I had to get back to work. We also got some bad news from our Vet, our wonderful Fly guy has bone cancer, so we have been taking care of him. We thought we were going to have to put him down two weeks ago, so we are very happy to have this time with him. He is doing ok, we hope to have him around for a few more weeks before we have to make the really hard decision.

We have been training (if you can call it that) for Hood to Coast (check out the link). Kathleen is also running HTC, and we (K&R) have done a few training runs together. Tim and I went downtown tonight and ran around the waterfront then went out for pizza and beer. That is how we like to train for HTC.

Tim's brother, Jim, and his wife, Rose, and their two beautiful daughters, Talin and Alma are home for the summer (they have been in China teaching). We had dinner with Rose, the girls and Judy on Tuesday night. Jim decided to head straight to their cabin in La Pine, OR, so we missed him at dinner. Below is a picture of Tim and Alma. Tim is going to La Pine on Sunday for a few days to visit the family.

Vegas Baby!!

A fun time was had by all. We did a little shopping, a little gambling, a lot of pool time and a lot of drinking. Below are pictures of the Vegas Crew.

Weekend Update and Adoption News

I am off to Vegas tomorrow for a girls weekend!!! I am not sure if I will be blogging about the weekend, you know how the saying goes, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas".

Tim is planning a weekend at the Coast with a few friends.

On the adoption front, referrals came out yesterday. The CCAA did 6 days of referrals this month. Everyone with a LID of Nov 7, 2005 and before has been matched with their child. Of course, we were hoping for at least 10 to 15 days. As you all know, our LID is 3/7/06.

Viva Las Vegas!!

Plants and a Tree

We purchased and planted a variegated Japanese Willow tree and three plants (I forgot their names) today. I love our new yard!
