a stroller, a sick babydog, and a knitted poncho

Friday morning as I was hurriedly getting into my car to go to work, I saw my neighbors across the street setting up for a garage sale. I spied not one but two strollers in their driveway! I ran back inside and woke Kevin up. "Kevin, the neighbors are setting up for a garage sale and they have strollers. Get up quick before the sale starts and someone buys them! If you like one, buy it!" Now, take in mind Kevin is not a morning person... and does not wake up nicely. He's a grouchy bear! I was pleasantly surprised that Kevin rubbed his eyes, got dressed appropriately for 7:45am on a Saturday morning, and went over and checked them out. The neighbors had a single and a double. The momma neighbor teased Kevin and tried to get him to take the double too! When filling out immigration paperwork for our adoption, people often tell you to list 2 children so that way you can get a referral for twins if they come along. We very purposely wrote a 1 on our form so that there's no way we could be tempted into 2. One is all we can handle! If Sedona doggie gets tired of walking, there's plenty of room for her to ride in the bottom stroller basket.

The babydog is sick. Sedona had diarrhea and refused treats, even turkey lunchmeat. It's not like our little food obsessed licker to refuse any treat. Kevin took her to the vet while I was at work. We think she ate something she shouldn't have. She was given an antibiotic shot and 7 days of pills, along with instructions not to eat for 24 hours. She's allowed ice chips, that's it. When I got home from work, Sedona came to the door to greet me but didn't do the "I'm so happy to see you, let me lick you, pick me up!" happy dance that she does every day for me. My poor baby! Daddy's been taking good care of her all day.

Great Grandma Marjorie sent a gift home from Florida with Kevin. She knitted Hannah a poncho. Isn't that sweet? Thanks, Marjorie! It's beautiful.
