Here's what I've been up to. I apologize that this post will feature a lot of Birdie, but I'll try to mix in some other things too.
I took all of last week off to be home with Birdie. She mostly played, slept, and went to the bathroom a lot... and I watched her like a hawk. It was a lot of work to keep up with her! Here are some of the pictures I took of her. My phone is FULL of Birdie pics now. :-)
Look at my sweet angel face!
Someone discovered sticks and now cannot resist them.
We took her to the public market. Everyone LOVED her, but we will never take her again as it made shopping nearly impossible. Anna was so patient. :-)
She also discovered bark. And leaves. And rocks. Everything goes straight in her mouth. And then I fish it out.
She went to the liquor store.
She taught her first clarinet lesson.
And she took her first car trip to Buffalo. Someone was very sleepy!
She has also received many gifts!! Thank you to Anna, Will and Rose, Lani, Nancy, Andy's parents, and my parents!!!
Ok, thank you for indulging me. Onto other happenings!
Our friend Ran stayed with us for 5 days. We were all students at Eastman and have kept in touch ever since. He's a good guy and very good house guest. He taught us a card game that we played several nights, so that was fun - I always love games.
When we went to the public market, Andy and I bought some different herbs. Now we have our own little garden!
I also spent some time reorganizing the kitchen. Check out the beauty of this drawer.
For Father's Day, we went to Buffalo to see Andy's family. My dad was hiking Mt. Rainier with my mom - I'm so jealous!!! But our trip to Buffalo was nice, and Andy made an awesome rhubarb pie.
On Monday night, Andy and I went to Anna's to watch the US Women's Soccer game. I hadn't seen Poco and Otis since we had gotten Birdie. After being around a 2 pound pup for a week, her cats looked mammoth!!!! Here they are showing off their feline fun house. :-)
And there you have it! I went back to work on Monday and Tuesday, took Wednesday off to hang out with Birdie girl while Andy went to Toronto, and now I'm back to the grind again. I can't wait to get home!
