Synopsis of Last 2 weeks

I'm taking a month off to go pick up our babies, and spend some time with them, so my employer has been working me to the bone lately! This explains the lack of entries.

The backyard is finished with the exception of the water fountain. Rachelle *really* wanted a fountain, so we ordered one. Also, I need to hand-stain the deck and fence. It's taking a LONG time due to weather and work.

Our sailing trip to the San Juan Islands was great, although crossing the Strait of Juan De Fuca was, er, rough. Oscar the boat dog hurled, I hurled, Rachelle nearly hurled.

We are close to traveling to see our babies, but no definite dates yet. Just applied for Chinese visas, so it should be soon, perhaps in mid August.

Cat hates the groomers with a passion, so she had to have a little anesthesia at the vet to get her annual "lion's cut". Now she is pissed at us. Hee hee...

Our friend Corey got to hang out with Ringo again, this time at the gala event for the opening of Cirque De Soleil's "Beatles, Love". Yeah, Paul *and* Yoko were there too, among others. Being the huge Beatles fan that I am, I was just a tad envious, but it's cool. Corey had a blast. At least I know Ringo's nephew. That's 1 degree of separation, and I can live with that. :)

Beyond all the above, the last 2 weeks has been consumed with adoption-related things.

Later...
