After working last Saturday, I enjoyed a day off on Monday. I started off the day painting in the garage before taking Clark for a walk mid-morning. We had only gotten a half-block from our house when we saw a little dog running across the street toward us. We live on a really busy four-lane street, so I was concerned that the little dog, who was unaccompanied, would get hit by a car if we left him out there. So I picked him up and took him home with us. He and Clark ran around the backyard while I got in contact with his owners. He was only with us for fifteen minutes or so, but Clark really enjoyed running around with him until his owner came and picked him up.
With the warm weather lately, our cherry blossom tree is finally flowering. We planted it last year after it was done flowering, so we have never seen it in spring before. I has really pretty little blossoms.
About a month ago I decided that I wanted to teach myself to crochet, so I got some books from the library to help me learn. I had seen some patterns in a library book that I wanted to try making Katie for her birthday. Since she's a dietitian I thought she'd appreciate having a little crocheted apple and pear. I just finished another project too, but I have to wait to put up a picture of it until I have given it to its intended recipient. I am really enjoying my crocheting projects so far.
On Friday night we went over to my parents' house to celebrate Katie's 25th birthday. We had a good dinner and then cake and presents. Friday was also Bailey's birthday. He's 11 now, and still as feisty as ever, despite being blind and diabetic. He seemed to enjoy the party as well- or at least the extra attention!
Katie has the same cake every year- a yellow cake with chocolate frosting.
Today we went to the 9am church service, and then over to my aunt and uncle's house in Cupertino for an early dinner. I left our house an hour early and walked with Clark toward Cupertino. Logan picked us up and drove us the rest of the way there. Clark enjoyed playing with his friend Abby the beagle and then slept in the truck while we enjoyed dinner.
We've had a relaxing afternoon and evening since we got home. I sat and crocheted for a while in Clark's favorite chair, and he joined me in the chair to look out the window for a while. He's sound asleep in the chair now after his busy day.
One last bit of news for this week: Logan entered a contest to have his design put on the new t-shirt for his school, and the PTA chose his design. His school's mascot is the dolphin, so that's why his design is a boy riding a dolphin. I think it turned out really well. Very cute!

OK-- 1) That is a cool logo for his school 2) You JUST taught yourself how to crochet, and you made those???? They are so cute and amazing, and I would PAY you to make some for Kira without the plastic eyes (if that's what they are). ADORABLE!!!
