Hi all! We have recently experienced a broken camera issue...so there will be a delay in photos! Sofia is such a big source of joy in my days! Her personality is emerging, and I love it! She is hysterical!! She got scratched pretty bad by 1 or our cats...she kept pulling the cats fur out...so wasn't like she had it coming. It has happened before a few times and she still goes back for more. This time though she has been pointing to her arm for about a week telling us "owww" and then pointing to the bedroom where it happened! I think she finally will stop pulling the cats hair! During my life I never expected I would utter the phrase "Sweetie...will you please stop trying to kill the cat"...yes I say this a few times a day when Sofia has "other cat" or "nigiri" in a choke hold trying to carry her somewhere! Crazy! She has recently mustered the strength to pick up black cat....he is way too old to fight...he just looks at me like "please help!" Another thing I never expected....the dreaded minivan! So long to the girl that liked fast cars and motorcycles...and guys with motorcyles of course! Anyhow...now I am having visions of a Honda Odyssey when we return. Uhhhhh...what has happened?! This all stemmed from Tom junking his old POS....thank you above for getting that thing out of our hands! hahhahh! Our friends PCS'ed and we bought their minivan...it was really clean...I had driven it before when Hiroshi and Akemi came to visit, and I figured if Tom didn't like it we can always sell it to someone coming in this summer. Well now I am really liking this thing...makes total sense...is a comfy ride and great for hauling stuff from Home Depot or maybe camping gear in the future...won't be getting any G's in a turn, but sad to say... I am OK with that because of my kid that is in the back seat. WOW! Motherhood is scary!
