Poor Dora

We had to put Dora to sleep, it wasn't impacted pouches, but serious internal injuries from her fall that only had manifested themselves now..

They let us have our time to say goodbye. Then took her away to give her anestetic..

They gave us a little clay heart with her name stamped on and her paw prints...

Then they were going to put her to sleep after we left.

The girls miss her.

She was a great member of our family.

:(

~We will miss you Dora~

Katie's night with Abuela and Popi!

Katie got to spend time with her Popi and Abuela. She took a 3 hour nap there. Then when she got up she played non stop with Popi and Abuela. When Veronica went to pick her up it was really neat to see her interacting with Popi. She runs up to him and he puts his hand out to her like he is going to grab her and she squeals in delight and runs away only to do it again. Then she was running and leaping onto Abuela who was doing leg lifts and putting her high in the air, though Katie was ever vigilant to see where Popi was LOL. She ran to both Popi and Abuela and told them I lub you Popi, lub you Beula before we left.

She is so incredibly sweet! They grow up so fast!

Daddy/Daughter Date Night!

Brianna and Brian went on a date night on Friday!

They ate dinner at Wendy's. Then went to the OSU hockey game! (Brian had gotten 4 free tickets from work). They met Jay and his son Isaac there. On the way Brianna had said she was a bit nervous because she wasn't sure if she had to stand or not and her legs were very tired. Once they were at the game she and Isaac were having a blast. Brian explained to her that being in the penalty box was like being in time out. So she asked if they got 5 minutes like her. He told her only 2 minutes. She said oh, like Katie! She got a soft pretzel and Isaac got popcorn. OSU tied the game. On the way home, there were two lanes of traffic, one was at a stand still and the other was moving. Brianna told Brian to get out of the car and tell the car ahead of them that he needed to move so they could get through LOL.

They went to Walmart and Brian bought a hockey game for his PSP. Then Brianna saw the flowers and said she wanted to get them for Veronica. When Katie and Veronica got home, they had them sit on the couch with their eyes closed and then Brianna put flowers in a vase in Veronica's hand. She had the biggest grin on her face and asked Veronica if she loved them and if she was surprised! They gave Katie one flower and she kept sniffing it and then wanted to pull the petals off LOL. Veronica told Brianna that they were beautiful and that she was very surprised. Brianna asked later if we could get her flowers next time. And then asked if we could keep the flowers in her room LOL.

So sweet!

Let the games begin!

We got a flier in the mail for the Hilliard Ohio Soccer Association (HOSA) . We asked Brianna if should would like to play and she was beaming and saying "yes, yes, yes" while nodding her head up and down enthusiastically LOL..

So we signed her up for soccer! She starts in the spring! She is very excited about it!
