babka

Babka had bladder stone surgery (drama!) and had to wear this (super cute!) surgery recovery suit which he did NOT enjoy. His tummy fur is growing back and he is on track for a full recovery. Yay for our vet!  He also had a neck donut and a cone which were equally unpopular.  Bottom picture below is Babka on post-surgery drugs, which made him feel very relaxed and sleepy.

first/second day

Abby rolled back from Orkila the evening after the first day of school so this is Nate's second day (freshman year) and Abby's first day (junior year)!

14!

 Nate turned 14!  Abby was still at camp!  We celebrated again when Abby was home!  Cake!

Fun brunch catch up with Sarah and fam. Madagascar in 1999 now seems like a long time ago!

 Lauren made Nate a balloon sax for his birthday, and then he got a special present later that day - a (real) soprano sax!

Guemes for Robyn's birthday!  Copper came too.  We are slowly but surely checking off the islands for birthday visits.
