When Beasts Attack

Poor Dexter. Got attacked by a dog who lives a couple blocks away when we were out for a walk with Emma and Abe on their bikes. I (Tom) was trying to kick the attacker off, yelling "Get off him, you beast." It does sound like I shoulda been swinging my purse or using my cane, but oh well.

Anyhoo, we took him to the Pet ER and got him all stitched up. He's moving pretty slow today. Very odd to see macaroni sticking out of your dog. The owner of the attacking dog didn't give me any trouble in paying the bill, so that's nice.

Christmas Eve

Finally in bed! after a busy day of horse drawn carriage rides and playing in the snow.

Light of my life

Or at least one of them. Emma is going to be in the Lights program at school, which is their gifted and talented system. We knew she was getting tested, and she came home today said she missed by two points so wouldn't be in it. She was a little disappointed, and then this evening the teacher called and said she had used the wrong scale for her thinking she was older than 8.

Hearsay from Emma says that disection of a sand shark (!) is part of things, but that may just be for the older kids, we're not sure yet. Anyway, go Emma!

Eliza sings the ABC's

I don't know why I've only posted Eliza videos. Perhaps because the older kids ham it up too much. Enjoy. BTW, she's barely 2!!!!!

We've decided child videos on the internet probably aren't a good idea, so it you would like to see this cute email, let me know and I'll email it to you.
