I’m really feeling the love, people. Thank you for all of your kind comments and emails. I’ve just come back from the urgent care center after coming down with a nasty viral infection. I’m actually happy about that since it means I have officially made it through the dreaded ’3′s’…1) oscar dying  2) gave my car a flat tire after running into stone wall thinking about oscar and now 3) infection. I’m on the up and up from here on out!

We have moved the dog beds and water bowls to a new location, rearranged the playroom (where they slept), done some toy organizing, had a huge playdate (8 little ones came over today), and are trying to inject the house with as much good ju-ju as possible. I think it’s starting to work.

In the midst of all the Oscar chaos we had Gram’s 3rd birthday party- which I will share with you next. Thanks again for all of the uplifting comments. You’re the best.
