Microchipping, Babies, No Shame & 80s Prom

Don't worry, there's no microchipping of babies! Don't get squeamish about it. That's why there's a comma!

I've been taking a lot of pictures over this past week and I should probably share some of them.

No Shame from the Friday before last. I should get the rest of those pictures onto Flickr so everyone can look at themselves.


My friend Katie had a baby not quite 2 weeks ago. She's a really nice baby. Her name is Ivy.


Just tonight I attended a 1980s prom. I wore my boss' dress from 1988 with matching dyed purse and heels. This is my coworker and her friend. The balloon arch was quite nice.


Earlier today I took pictures at the Animal Center Microchip Clinic. I have never seen so many dogs in one place before. This puppy had actually already been microchipped but he still looked very worried.

4 Square Club! Butterflies! Eek!

The other day I got home from work and there were these fine little butterflies in the flower bed.


Today Tim came over and we brought back 4 Square Club. Awesome.


Jamal climbed the slipperiest slide ever! He is tough!


Whoop! There they go! It's fun to go to the playground.

When's it's springtime in Alaska...

I'll be having springtime in Iowa. Thank God.


Blue flowers are all up in my yard.

This isn't one of my cats, but it is a cat at the Iowa City Animal Center. I'm going to be taking some pictures for their new brochures so I did a few of some kitties to see how the lighting was going to be.


Check it! FOUR CATS IN A BED!


Do you know the music of Justin Roberts? Well Jamal and I attended his concert. He does very good children's songs. I felt it would be a little strange for us to go without a child along so I borrowed one, thinking it would be a good time for everyone. I later found out that she DID have fun, it's just hard to tell from the evidence shown here.



A while back I took a trip to Madison but I never got the photos up. Until now!

Pen-guins!


What's got these boys so down?


They found out what they sell at the jungle pharmacy!


Those chimps. They were up to something but they wouldn't let us see.


Schlotzsky's! It's not even open!
