Okay, as my good friend Karen pointed out, "I know you must be busy if you didn't write about the election." And we have been. I'll spare any commentary on the election since it is thankfully long gone. And I'll skip my constant diatribe about school and practicum. Instead, I'll share some fun news. This holiday season we added two new members to the family - a bug-eyed fish named Bugsy and a rescued rabbit named Velvet. Maddie is in animal lover heaven. Here are some photos of Maddie and Velvet.
