Summer is officially here and I've got the pictures to prove it! Check out the new set of pictures "Summer Fun '07" for the latest in Iris's ventures around the oppressively hot southeast and beyond!
Recent highlights include a visit last weekend by our friends at the State of Grace blogsite, who are now proud parents for the second time. It was great to meet beautiful baby Julia and I can't wait to see her new blog! And Iris was reunited with her "infanthood" friend Grace, whom had gone almost exactly apart since the move to Macon. The two had a lot of fun together, not skipping a beat!
On the 4th we grilled out with some local friends and Iris had a great time with some more youngsters, Fin and Pax. Iris enjoyed the bright and colorful fireworks, but it was time to go home when the loud ones started booming. The fact that it was an hour past her bedtime didn't help either!
Finally, our neighbors a few houses down have been kind enough to extend an open invitation for Iris to come and swim anytime. Its a perfect set-up, where the sun only shines directly down on the pool during Iris's nap time- we've spent many afternoons swimming and splashing there! Mama has also been taking Iris regularly to the nearby YMCA pool to beat the heat during the day. She needs to get ready for the mighty cold Lake Superior at the end of the month!
On a somber note, our beloved Baguette continues to struggle with her health since undergoing heartworm "chemo" treatment last November. After getting the seizures under control with meds, she developed diabetes in March and has been getting two insulin injections a day ever since. This week we learned that her kidneys are stressed, perhaps from the meds, and she had to start taking more meds for a urinary infection. Overall she's about 10 lbs. down from her normal weight, but is slowly gaining it back. Hang in there, Baggie!
Stay tuned!
