Christan’s mom is still very sick, but I had to head home last night to be back for work today. I cannot even begin to describe how tired I was when I pulled in my driveway (remember, I don’t typically do well on no sleep). Clay came over to give me my house key back (he watched the puppies for me) and proceeded to show me how Snuggles y Cuddles are now answering to the names Paco y Taco, a little trick he taught them whilst I was gone. He’s determined for them to be called anything but Snuggles y Cuddles because he says those names aren’t “manly” enough for male dogs.

I can’t imagine why he would think the words “Snuggles” and “Cuddles” aren’t manly.

Speaking of hospitals, those of you who have been reading the blog for any length of time probably remember the almost two weeks I spent going in and out of Children’s Hospital last summer when my baby cousin Avi was hospitalized. It’s been a little over a year since we were facing some very long days as we waited for doctors to figure out what was causing her to be so sick and then treat it. Today Avi is a very happy, very healthy three year old and, by goodness, I just felt like it had to be captured on camera when we were together a couple weekends ago.

Well, see for yourself.
