As i hinted in a post in a previous thread....

We are adding to our lil family !! o/o/

We should be 4 by September and were all very excited! Our daughter is finishing off teething by getting 4, yes FOUR teeth in all at once. That combined with the full moon and her first round with a cold has provided much time in the wee hours to practice both zen and functioning with little sleep We have some interesting juggling to do with space in our little home. I believe we will be adding and finishing a foundation this summer to accommodate our needs so this will be the summer of much samu... interesting that Jundo has that hammer handy... i was looking for volunteers! ;D

Anywho just wanted to share news and joy!

Congratulations

our little Beren is just 8 weeks old and having to go for his first injections tomorrow, poor thing, makes him sound like a dog :lol: We too have space issues, any idea how to get an inter-dimensional extension :?:

The bigger one is Faith, my grand-daughter, don't ask ops:

Congrats Dirk,

It appears that all that snow shoveling didn't take up as much time as I thought it did.

Dog,
that second shot of Beren is very telling.

Wow Long dog - Beautiful lil Buddhas there! Then needles make me shiver... if there was a way to take the shots for them and just pass the good stuff over to them id be the first inline. Sienna has had 3 rounds thus far - 2 or 3 the first time, 3 the next and 3 last... not only was she MAD as a wet hen she was quite put out that WE WOULD LET THIS HAPPEN!! :cry:

As for inter-dimentional extentions i think you'd need to talk to this guy

Rev- snow days are all day :] -shoveling take 3 to 4 hours max lol!!

Congrats, Dirk!

And Longdog, Beren is one intense-looking baby! :shock:

You all seem like such a loving bunch of folks. It's very inspiring and refreshing.

Hi Dirk - that's great news, I wish you and your family all the best! BTW I wish we had some of that snow here in Frankfurt. As a former upstate NYer I really miss it...
