December update




We're still here......




Last weekend, Andrew and Sam played at "Festival of Trees" in Tacoma. It was tough to get photos at the performance, but here they are next to the Rainiers tree.
They also worked on this Lego ship over the weekend. It's not as huge as some of their creations, but it has plenty of details.
We've been preoccupied with Bailey since just before Thanksgiving. We found a bump on her foot, and it turned out to be cancerous. Fortunately, her vets determined that it is localized, but in order to remove the entire tumor (and be sure that they get all of it), they will amputate part of her leg. We are all very sad about this, but have been assured by several vets and other dog people that she should adapt pretty easily. She'll have the surgery on Thursday, come home Friday, then we will run a dog rehab center here for a while. She should get her stitches out just before Christmas, and hopefully she'll be feeling pretty good by then.
