Guess Who's At My House

I really, truly did have the best of intentions for this blog. I really, truly did mean to post 3 to 5 times a week. The best of intentions seem to have flown out the window. I do have some perfectly great excuses ... honest and true ... really. So I think that it's true that a picture is worth a thousand words:

Just a quick morning at home ... no, I don't have any kids at home!

The picture, over there on the right, is our daily mess. Lena takes out every single toy, looks it over, chews on it, tosses it around, and moves on to the next toy. Saturday, this past weekend, Doug and I had to get some things in Mason City ... stopped by our favorite pet sort of store ... "Fleetfarm"! After picking up the mess of toys night after night, I told my sweet spouse, Lena NEEDS some things.

You guessed it ... the picture below is a quick snapshot of the "few things" that Lena got when we went to Mason City. No, she's not spoiled ... she didn't beg for anything. But this is what she got on Saturday:

We cleaned out the old, replaced it with some new ... and she even got to try a pigs ear ... She was in hog heaven (pun intended).

April's been in Singapore for 2 weeks, we've gotten daily updates. She is doing well ... lots to keep her busy ... she's seeing the sites, experiencing the flavors, and taking in shopping. And her little nugget, Lena, is enjoying the sites here, experiencing the flavors, and loving "grammie's" shopping.

Lena got to have a "pig's ear" for the first time. She loved it!

A day in our life with little Lena ... toys, walks we wouldn't normally go on, "school", tricks, wiggles and lots of smiles. She's been so good for us ... glad we've had the opportunity to take care of her for April.



Until soon,
