Blake Came to Visit!!!!!!!!!

Blake and Rachel went to preschool at CCLC in Sunnyvale together. We won't talk about how much trouble they got into there... let's just say they were two peas in a pod. Blake lives in FL now, and visits his dad in China during summer vacation. This year, he stopped in CA on his way back!

First, we took Blake to Challenge Auto Racing, but I didn't have a camera. So I made sure to get pictures of the tough martial artist after he went to class with Sean.

The next day, Ken woke the kids at o-dark-thirty and took them rock cod fishing. I think they liked it, but it was ALL DAY, so they would have liked it better if it ended a lot sooner.

Oh, I almost forgot, Rachel's soccer team had a big party to celebrate the end of their killer team camp, so Blake got to be the only non-little-brother male there. Tough job, but someone's got to do it.
Uncle John and Merlin came over for a rock cod dinner. Merlin just started chemo for doggy lymphoma, but he seems like he's doing great, and we hope to be able to spoil him rotten at our house for lots more years.

Two Mitzvah Kittens ADOPTED

Sigh, such a happy/sad occasion. It's hard to see them go, but I know they got a really great home. When a 13 yr old girl cries on them, you know how badly she wanted them!

So Shalem Tov and Nushica live with Kayla now. I hope she sends pictures and stays in touch.

Poor lonely Hishamru even enjoyed being mothered by Cassie tonight. Then he slept on Rachel's bed. He needs his own forever home, but not today. : )
