You only turn 18 once

By Chris Turner -

The reason for the October season, why we're all at the restaurant, the man of the hour.


Jack forever eating.


Contemplative Jenny. Or, is this the effect of draining that glass in front of her?


Who ordered that giant margarita?


"Hi-yah"


The smile and the cake.


Teamwork makes the dream work.


Josh is serenaded with the birthday song, Jenny and Dad are amused.


Sophie grins, mom cringes.


Josh's girlfriend, Alexa Simon, tries the hat on for size.


And Abbie's turn with the hat.


The new Charlie's Angels.


Is this restaurant-appropriate?


We wrecked that place.

(I'm also amazed that everyone is wearing shorts or shortsleeves - it still looks like summertime...I assume it was a dinner at LOCAL mexican restaurant, not a huge family trip south!)

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. The kids all played with her and Cori walked her, so Izzy slept well in a crate overnight, I hard
