Happy Memorial Day 2009!






We headed out to Mill Valley to see the local parade. We were planning on being in the parade and handing out flyers with our church, but ran into a slight parking problem (and in some really steep hillsides!) so we watched along the sides with everybody else. Noah collected candy and liked watching the little kids do their karate moves.

We sat right around the town square and got a feel for this small town just south of where we live.

Our focus has been on getting the house in order so our grill is in need of much love after sitting outside neglected all winter. So we went to Marin Brewing Company after the parade for yummy burgers and spent about an hour letting the kids splash in the fountain at Larkspur landing. We got a few snide looks from the ducks that apparently have taken up residence! Then everyone went home and the kids crashed. Michael spent several hours below our house removing this evil, evil weed that creates foxtails that get stuck in Hux's fur. We just found out about them at his vet appointment. The foxtails have barbs on them that prevent the splinter portion from working its way out. They can work their way into an animals body so far that they cause damage to organs or eyes or eardrums. Hux had several locations that are so bad that he's going under tomorrow to have surgery for them to be removed. Poor Hux.
