Well Hello, Hello...
Those of you who know my boss instantly thought of him when you read my title, you know you did. Yesterday I was examining a dog's eyelids very carefully under anesthesia for distichia, which necessitated the donning of the famous "duck hat". This hat has a magnifying glass that fits over the eyes so that you can see very tiny structures, and even those of us with good eyes can find them useful from time to time. Anyway, my colleagues immediately called me "mini me" of my boss, who is probably the only other person in the clinic that I've seen with that hat on. Oh, well. I admire him, so I'm ok with being his protege.
Having not posted in over a month, I found it hard to decide what in the world to talk about. So much has happened...Faith's dance recital, Faith's graduation from preschool, a new furniture purchase, our annual trip to River Inn at Hunt, Texas... I've decided to just talk about the present. I'll catch up on the other events time permitting.
Father's Day was nice. We had John's brother's family over since we all live in the same neighborhood. I decided my choc-aholic husband would love a chocolate cake. The kids always love helping me cook (and lick the bowls/beaters/spoons, etc). Everyone had to get in on the action. James couldn't stand being on the floor left out, so even he got to sit on the island. Of course, there were some other adult treats being made, too. John has almost perfected the Mexican Martini:)
Faith loves to play dress-up. Naturally, Cole wants to do whatever big sis does. He has no problems getting in touch with his feminine side, much to John's dismay. Today, they decided to dress up like ballerinas and put on a show for me. They are both quite the little performers.
Vetmommy, maybe you should show these pictures to your son. He just might rethink his position on dance. Boys can perform just as well as girls!

We've been having some pretty unusual weather the past week or so. Our rainfall for the year is definitely up. June has felt more like April, but I'm not complaining. The moderate temperatures have been a relief. Here is an awesome picture John took out of Faith's bedroom window last week.
