did quite a few photos for my bestest friends kids last week. here are two of my favorites. the first is the senior daughter with her boyfriend, and the second is her sister and fiance..

these were taken at two different times of days on two different days under different conditions…they both are very happy.

mexican lasagna





super easy recipe from rachel ray - modified of course - but man it turned out yummy!

well, teah is better, although it was a challenge as usual, she’s such a PIP~ after all was said and done, she developed a lump on her back the size of an egg - now mind you this was a week after the abcessed paw. so another trip to the vet, and he guessed that it was from the shot - which was sort of encapsulated and never really went into her system. nice huh? it’s slowly getting smaller, but still pretty big and it feels pretty funny. doesn’t seem to bother her though.

UNH competed at regionals this past weekend, they did a pretty good job and finished where they should have. they were up against the #1 ranked florida team, arkansas and michigan, all of which were ranked like 9th, and 13th? i think. UNH came in ahead of rutgers and pittsburg, as they should have. I will say that UNH needs to step up their difficulty if they wish to be more competitive. travis, i know you check this once in a while… and in case you didn’t know..just ask diane - i’m always right - haha.

I took some senior photos of d’s friend abbey this past sunday - they turned out adorable. she’s a walking ad for the “fresh face” girl. I’m pretty excited that her sister called me this evening and wants me to do her engagement photos. 
other than that…just cooking, web stuff, chatting, too much chatting…. and doggy-ing. i’ve definitely been in a slump, and WATCHING TV. my 5 year moratorium on television has been ruined. i’ve been reduced to lounging in front of the stupid tube. although, i do try to keep it on discovery hd, discovery, history, or something with some intelligence. i try anyway…

vet bill $250, Teah - priceless

wow, two dogs to the vet this week, between them $450!!!. Krumpet went in on Tuesday, ear infection and regular heartworm test and meds. Wednesday, I thought Teah felt really hot… Today, val and i went to our various doctor’s appointments (more on that one later) and when we got home, Tea’s foot was like almost split open between her toes. That was 530pm, so naturally it was a trip to the emergency vet. seems she must have stepped on something, you can see the puncture on the underneath area between her pads, the top was so swollen it was almost splitting open (in a matter of like 4 hours we were gone).

so…abcess, 103.4 temperature, a shot, pain meds (she is really goofy now and panting heavily…i might call them back and see if that’s a problem with the panting…) antiobiotics, and pain meds. krump is on antibiotics for the ear, and benadryl to help with her ear itching. man oh man…
 my poor babies!

till my baby girl D comes home - haha. i’m writing from newtown square, pa, where we have spent the last few days helping gma jean get her house packed up for moving. we also took a trip to maryland to watch diane and unh compete at eagl conference championships. such a sad little team….but as poorly as they did, maryland did worse. i think the girls are just beat up and tired…really tired…
 
well, on to brighter days…lucretia’s daughter lynsey is also engaged now, we laughed that we will be fighting for the venue! val is ready to book the one i suggested, we’ll do that when i return to houston. i miss my doggies!

debbie - congrats on the camera! it’s fun to have a dslr! 
pictures from the party at sue’s will be coming soon - as well as “select” gymnastics shots of the meet - i surely don’t want to hand over all the good stuff just yet - haha.
 
well,…..45 more days and the countdown has begun!
