New Edition to the extended family

Meet Mikey.

He's our newest edition to our extended family.

Tom adopted him from a family off of Craigslist.org. He's been with us for about 2 weeks now. He's just realizng that we ARE his new people - and trusting us.

He hates the rain. He's a real kick in the pants!

He goes to work with me everyday - he's the official office dog. Then home with Tom in the evenings and through the weekends.

His favorite toy (only toy he likes) happens to be a stuffed hot-dog - which I think is HILARIOUS.

We think someone stole his knees.

Together We Are One

We are part of a bigger energy

It’s all around us

When we are alone together

It boils down to just you and me

To the connection between us

So intense and fulfilling

We don’t know where it comes from

Or how we found it

It’s just there

It always has been

And it’s known all along that we’d be together

It waited for us to open up to it

Now we have and it’s wonderful

Life keeps getting better

No matter how hard we try to stop it

We are part of a bigger energy that’s for sure

Part of something grand and spectacular

Together we are one

Birthday suprise

So - it's my Mom's birthday. She's been really "down" about it and pouting - saying "I'm not having a birthday this year!" and such. I decided to go with that theme - and let her believe that we were all too busy to do anything with her or for her on her birthday (she's a stickler that you HAVE to do something on the ACTUAL DATE OF YOUR BIRTH or just don't bother).

Knowing that it's impossible to suprise her - Savi and I decided that we wouldn't even try. Instead, we simply decided that we would take half a day off from school and work, drive down to her house and cook her dinner. We wouldn't tell her we were doing this - but if she found out we wouldn't mind. And - whether she was there nor not -we'd be throwing her a very nice dinner party. I had my Dad non-chelantly invite a few guests and that was it.

Come the 20th -the day before her her birthday, she got frustrated, believing that really, no one was going to do anything at all for her. She decided she'd throw her own party. She called up the same people we'd already invited and invited them to her party - ha! They were all very good and simply said yes - they'd come.

On the 21st Savi and I headed down to her house - with all the makings of a dinner party and broke into her house (well - we actually had a key - but it's fun to say we broke in). We decorated with fresh flowers and banners and started cooking. She wasn't home.

About 4pm she rolled in and was quite suprised to see us! She was kind of in shock for a bit and then relaxed and really enjoyed the evening. Later it all kind of sunk in and she was grateful and happy. She really did have a very nice Birthday - and knows that we love her and cared. It was PERFECT!

For the first time in my life - I actually suprised the un-suprisable Mrs. T!
