We were out to dinner tonight and during conversation Rafe tells us that when he grows up he'd like to get an owl for a pet (he's a bit Harry Potter obsessed). I told him he wouldn't like having an owl because he doesn't like pets that eat other pets...owls eat mice/rats. He thought about it for a minute and then agreed that no, he thought it ( Read more... )

I am shocked at myself because I did something I had specifically planned NOT to do. I bought a dog ( Read more... )

I am SOOOO not looking forward to tomorrow. It starts with a trip to Fresno to get the results of an ultrasound Rafe had done yesterday. I just know they're going to tell us that he needs surgery and I don't know how I'm going to deal with that. He has a hard enough time with the easy doctor's appointments. He was terrified and cried off and ( Read more... )

Rafe has been on a roll lately with cracking us up. I realized I should be recording some of these things that make me giggle. So when I remember to, I'll share here. He had two moments yesterday I felt worth sharing ( Read more... )
