One hot day...
On our way to Wisconsin for our annual family vacation, we stopped to see some friends. This day on the playground was unbearably hot!
Haircut!
We took Fiona to have her haircut. It turned out much shorter than what I asked, but Fiona really likes it.
Fiona and her baby Anna
We took Fiona to the American Doll store in Chicago. OMG! I would not really call it a store. It is really more of a museum. I had no idea what an empire the American Girl company has created. Fiona thought we needed to take Anna with us almost everywhere.
A Grandmother and her Granddaughter...
Is there anything as special as a grandparent and their grandchild? Fiona is enjoying spending time in the big city with grandma Robin.
Pigs in Seattle, now Dresses in Chicago...
Fiona, my mom, and I went to Chicago in early August. Along Michigan Avenue, there were several amazing dresses on display.

The hard part of pet ownership
Dear Friends and Family,
On Saturday February 3rd, 2007 Chloe Keith was put to rest.
Chloe has been a member of our family for 4 years when we met her at the
Animal Control facility in Indianapolis. She has been treated at the
Bloomington Veterinarian Hospital for the last 9 days for kidney failure.
Her prognosis at first seemed hopeful, but as of the 2nd, it became clear
that she would not recover.
After spending a few hours with Chloe on Saturday, it was very apparent that
Chloe was much worse. She could barely stand, she was extremely lathargic,
and her general apperance was very sad. Colin and I stayed with Chloe to
the end, and know that she is now much more peaceful. She was truly the
best dog anyone could hope for, and she has such a place in our heart as
well as all who met her.
At this time of hardship, I wish that I was able to have the mature attitude
that our 3 year old has. She has stated to both Colin and I that we should,
"not be sad... We can get a new dog, and name her Chloe." As we explained
to her that you don't name new dogs the same as past animals, we both
realized that as much as we were trying to shelter her, this has been much
more difficult for the "adults".
In loving memory, we hope that Chloe is in a better place.
Kathy, Colin, and Fiona
