Recent Findings

Finding #1:
Last week we went to dinner and a short run through Target for a few items. We have been pleased to be able to leave Annabelle out of her crate for several hours at a time when we went on short trips (1-2 hours) out of the house. However, this time was different. We came home to this:


Among the items destroyed (partially or fully) included several cardboard boxes, some optometry freebies (aka - "benefits") from the American Optometric Student Association, the front and back cover of the Consumer Reports Buying Guide, a brand new and previously unopened bottle of Rain-X (puncture hole in bottle caused it to spew everywhere during clean-up), various papers, 2 toothbrushes from our recent trips to the dentist, etc.

Finding #2:
Usually these are the types of birds we see in our backyard.

Yesterday I saw this in our backyard:


You can click on the photo to see it full size - examine the talons (impressive). We hear an owl outside every night that we have thus far been unable to photograph - but we have seen it's silhouette in the massive electrical tower in the field behind our house.

Finding #3:
Sometimes Annabelle looks almost human (and not in the "Yearbook Yourself" kind of way).

Annabelle Update!

Since I've been so busy with reading for Boards, I have neglected
to put up my obligatory Annabelle photos of late. So, here goes...


Annabelle enjoys sitting in the bay window with her blankie and pillow.


She also enjoys curling up on the couch with another blankie.



... and this is what happens when you decide to clean out underneath
the bathroom sinks when Danny isn't home to watch her...


...and again...



She also loves when I have tiny bags from Wendy's just laying around...




Meet Gumby. Gumby came from a store called Gordman's.
Gumby wanted to meet Annabelle.



Gumby soon learned that Annabelle wanted to eat Gumby
more than she wanted to meet Gumby.



Gumby says "Goodbye..." and "Help me!"

NAVAIR featured on Washington's NBC affiliate

for some reason in in-studio people can't pronounce NAVAIR....apparently to them it's either NAV-ARE or NAWV-AIR.

Tie Dye Cake

A friend of mine from school has a blogger page (his wife, actually). I recently saw a post where one of their kids wanted a Tie Dye party for her birthday. So, she made a Tie Dye cake. Pretty neat.

Here are some pics.
