In our homeless travels we stayed at some friends house who own a Retreiv-a-poo (I think the real name is a golden doodle.)
The animal control people weren't helpful at all. It turns out if your dog bites a bat, he needs a rabies shot and to start quarintine immediately. Now poor Casey is looking at a 6-monthquarintine because he didn't get an $8 shot the 1st day.
I think we're all okay, but everytime Jonas bites us, we hope he doesn't have rabies.

Homeless, homeless
We're like a good Michael McClain song--homeless. We're having a final inspection Friday. Hopefully they'll let us move in even if it doesn't pass.
In other news, Jonas walks. He learned a couple of weeks ago. We have no pictures because we're homeless.
Beck started school Monday. He already hates the homework. But the people we're living with wake at the crack of dawn so, at least he's getting up on time.
Macie decided she wants to be a cleaning lady. But before that she wanted to be a vet, I think. Here's the conversation...
Beck: I finally decided what I want to e when I grow up. I want to e a florist.
Macie: I want to be a vegetarian.
Jennifer: You mean a vetranarian? (explain the difference.)
Macie: Oh yeah. I want to be a vet because I could kill the animals and eat them.

Our first garden produce
These are called Easter Egg Radishes, and they are very spicy. Beck and Macie both cried when they tasted them.

Happy Birthday Macie
Macie turned four and celebrated with a fancy tea party with all of her boy cousins. Even though all the food was tiny and pink, the boys still liked it. Macie loved it. (More pictures to come when I get them.)
After the tea party we marched at the tail end of the Centerville Children's Parade. Then we went back home for ice cream cake and presents. Macie liked it all.
Macie at 1 day.
Macie at 7 weeks.

Happy Birthday Jonas
At one year old, Jonas crawls, cruises, goes up stairs (and sometimes comes down) has eight teeth, loves baths and swimming, eats lots of grapes. He rarely speaks or signs. He usually shrieks or babbles like he's talking.
One of his greatest accomplishments is drinking through a straw. One of his worst accomplishments is taking off his own diaper.
Occasional words: dada, mama, ba (beck), bye bye, water
Occasional signs: milk, finished, more
Jonas one day old
Jonas 6 weeks old

The 2nd Triennial Hotdog Party
For anyone without access to a dictionary--triennial means reoccuring once every three years. The best guesses include:
1. Daryl will have three parties in his lifetime and this is the second one.
2. Daryl is turning 30.
Here are the pictures.
Daryl, nephews, and the hotdog cake.
D enjoying a dog.
Jonas digging into his baby hotdog cake.

Anagram fun
There are something like 6278 anagrams for the word "Christiansen". Our favorite is Raisin Stench. If I ever have a band or write a book, I've already got a great title.

We Need a Greenhouse
Two nights in a row an animal attacked our plants. The second night they smashed and shredded the little peat pots. The destroyer didn't eat anything, it just destroyed. And it probably laughed while it worked.
