Claire is three! She had two birthday celebrations. The first one was on her birthday. We took her out to eat at red robin. 

Free birthday ice cream sundae. 

Elise loves our new foster dog, Ellie. She is a senior greyhound who is really sweet. 

Nora has decided that now that she is one year old she can no longer crawl. It's so cute!  She toddles around the house now. 

Claire's second birthday celebration was on Monday at the park with her friends and my Mom. 

Cupcake decorating. 

A big girl bike was her big gift. 

Nana and the girls decorated pumpkins. 

Elise had her lung biopsy surgery on Tuesday last week. Everything went better than expected. She was discharged home on wed., and went back to school today. Now we are waiting to get the pathology report back from Texas children's hospital in Houston. They have some doctors that are well known for their expertise in interstitial lung disease. Will let you know when we hear back from them. 

On a somber note, we had to say goodbye to our beloved Mable on Saturday. She was 11 years old and is greatly missed. I have never met such a sweet, loving dog. I know she is now snuggling and playing with Macy, Peanut, and Lulu. She has left a Mable size hole in my heart. For such a small dog, she left a big impression to everyone she ever met. I love you Mable.
