I think I forgot to mention that Ads and I are dog-sitting this week. A friend of mine from work headed out of town for a couple weeks and needed a rotation of people to look after his pups. Since our friends have always been so kind and helpful in taking care of our girls when we needed them, Adam and I decided to pass it along. So here are Toby (Bernese Mountain Dog) and Mylen (Newfoundland mix). They are huge and playful but super sweet and a lot of fun. If only I had thought to take a picture of them getting a bath yesterday after a muddy playdate at the dog park! They both came through like champs, although my back was aching from bending over two huge puppies for about an hour and a half. Even my friend said I was "brave" for attempting to bathe his dogs!
Adam and I went to a local Red Cross event tonight. It was a celebration of the refugee communities that exist in the Lansing area. It was a really nice event and there was a lot of free ethnic food--Middle Eastern, Ethiopian, Italian, yum! Adam and I are thinking that we might try our hands at mentoring some of the refugee children who live in the area; they need help learning English and assimilating to the culture, and I could brush up on some of my foreign language skills (not that it's about me or anything...).
Hope you like the pic. I know they have been few and far between!
