Grandma & Grandpa visit Virginia

By -
Grandma was on hand for moral support when Meg went to donate her hair to Locks of Love.

Are you sure?
Are you really, really sure you want to cut 12" off your hair?



I guess so...
Hey Meg, what kind of animal is that in your hand?
And all her friends said OMG!


Cute!
Then we woke up at 5:30 am the next morning to catch the metro so we could participate in The Race for the Cure.


We were a group of about 50 among 50,000 of our best friends at the Race for the Cure. We walked as part of the Mary Kay Ward Team. Mary Kay ran the Girls on the Run program at our elementary school until she lost her battle with breast cancer.



WE DID IT!

Without anyone's urging she videoblogged the enclosed entry, and I tracked down the video file in her account to upload for everyone's information.

On to the story of Izzy

By Chris Turner -
For the past couple of weeks we had been finally considering another dog, Otis having passed in June. Evenings found us as an easily-lampoonable suburban yuppie couple, each of us window shopping on our respective laptops on the couch. On our Sunday bicycle ride we earnestly began discussing the characteristics that we wanted: mature dogs, no puppies; a rescue from a shelter, not something for which we had to pay. But Tiffani spotted Izzy on CraigsList and all that criteria gladly went out the window. Contact with the owner was made, and we drove ourselves to Belding yesterday afternoon with the kids to see if the dog and our family would be a good, two-way fit. The owner was forced to get rid of her due to a breakup and she was sad to see her go. She's a Catahoula Leopard , of which we'd never heard , and the breed seems to have a colorful, if not completely fantastical story.
