We can learn a lot from our pets (well, some of them )! I have not blogged much about our faithful dog, Brady, who's been with us since the beginning. He is almost 11 years old which is about 77 or 85 in people years depending on how you count. He's starting to show signs of his age but one thing that hasn't changed is is unwavering loyalty to his master. During Greg's time in bed last week while his back was recovering, Brady did not leave the bedside - not once! And when I set Brady's bed up in the corner of the room & would leave him there at bedtime, I'd wake up to find him moved 10 feet at Greg's bedside as close as possible without being on the bed. Now this is no ordinary dog. Several of our friends who aren't "dog-people" say he's the only dog they've ever liked. While he's received a lot less love and attention since children have entered our family, he still thinks of himself as our firstborn. He jumps on laps or we find him on our bed hiding (all 100 lbs of him) when there's thunder or the smoke alarm beeps) and will try to give me a hug when he senses I am sad (and don't tell my husband this but he sometimes is more in tune with my emotions than dh is!) We don't know what made Brady so special and humanlike in how he relates to people but he is and always will be our lovable, furry Brady boy!
And here is Andrew's new look minus 2 front teeth (he pulled them both out when they were hanging by a string!):

Phoebe loves her vision specialist, Sherilynn. She comes to the house twice a month for play therapy. Here they are playing with a pinwheel. She does such a great job introducing her to many different types of toys and vision-stimulating objects. She's the only therapist Phoebe feels totally comfortable with. And she always brings treats fpr Brady!
