50 weeks (May 8th)

We actually had nice weather for a day or two and tried to play with some bubbles outside. Apparently, the $1 deal bubbles at Target were not even worth a dollar. We'll have to get some more to try now that we're having warmer days.

We often see Canaan in this position when she's found anything on the floor. She picks it up and inspects it very seriously.

Enjoying some family time in Mom and Dad's room.

And then the weather got cold again. Here we are after a walk.

While Canaan and I were walking, Matthew and Max were playing. Max swam for a bit and played fetch. Once we all got home, Matthew noticed Max was bleeding and had quite the gash in one of his paws. So here we are at the emergency vet clinic. Max ended up getting 3 stitches in his paw.

Max was supposed to wear this cone for at least a week. He got it late Saturday night. The poor guy ran in to EVERYTHING with that thing on. He looked so depressed and wouldn't eat or go to the bathroom. Matthew took it off him Monday because he couldn't stand seeing Max in it anymore. Max did great and never tried to chew on his paw or bandage.
  • Canaan LOVES to open and close everything - doors, her phone, books, etc. Grandma taught her open and close when they kept her a couple of weekends ago.
  • She likes to play more (i.e. she teases us by "running" away from us).
  • She laughs at, climbs on and over, and teases Max.
  • When eating finger foods, Canaan will hold food out to Max, smile, and then put the food in her mouth.

Mindy! Seattle?!? Really? Did Matthew get a job there or are you going in hopes of a better job market? Is that where your good friends live...I feel like you have a friend you've talked about on here who lives in the NW. Anyway, sounds exciting - fill us in on the details!!

Mindy, I am Melinda's mom. I have been trying to get in touch with her all day. Is Matthew already in Seattle? If so, then have you heard from him this week. I haven't had a call from Mel all week and I am getting a bit worried. Thanks for your help. 830-693-4829
