Goats and Such




No we haven't ridden off into the sunset, I just lost the camera with the latest photos and didn't have 5 spare minutes to look around for it. Things have been a little busy... runny noses and less sleeping going on around here lately. But things are looking up, Devon just discovered the camera only an arm's length from the computer under some papers. So here's the latest.

We took Fiona to a a BBQ at one of my friends places last weekend (devon finally admitted that a bunch of nurses together are cooler than a bunch of evolutionary biologists) Anyway, The Friend, Victor, has goats etc., some of them quite young...here's Fiona and Devon and the baby goat.
There was also archery for the under 2 set, a shining example of things that are left out of the parenting books, perhaps for good reason.

Life is good, we are happy, mostly healthy, and enjoying the warmer days lately.

We're planning a Birthday party for Fiona at her favourite park, we're giving her a soccer ball of her own to kick around and a lifejacket, Don't tell her.
The birthday will be at 5 at Garfield park, hopefully it will be a warm afternoon, we'll have some horse's doovers and lemonade and She can help Devon warm up for his soccer game after the party. Of course y'all are invited.
Love
Louise
PS any good remedies for a kid with a cough?

Honey and lemon; and eucalyptus to get rid of the goo.
I won't be able to get to Garfield Park, but wish everyone a great party, especially Fiona!

I don't suppose there's much call for a REAL footy in Santa Cruz.
