We have exciting news to share! Yesterday morning Yuki stood up all by herself and took 3 steps with 3 of her feet! It took me by surprise as I had set her down in the backyard and ran inside the house for a minute. I was only gone a few seconds, running back out [...]

I’m late posting photos, but as the saying goes, better late than never. I had just gotten home after taking our houseguest Valerie to the airport (she went home to Illinois for the holidays) when I saw Jerry’s car in the driveway. I was so excited to see him home for lunch! I was sure [...]
