Willow - 12 months




















On July 18th the Dali Lama visited the Buddhist Temple by Oregon; we couldn't go, but Andy visited the temple with Willow to see what it was like. Mandy went out and helped Leo find a wedding ring so that he and Andrea could be married. They had a ceremony/celebration on July 20th, though I think their official marriage date is earlier than that. The night before we had Mom & Dad and Zach over for our first family dinner in our dining room. In July, we got four kitties, Patches, Curiosity, Superstition, and Boo, to help with mice; Willow loved our kitties. Mandy spent time helping Dad paint his apartment in Milwaukee, which gave Mom time to bond with Willow. Mandy and Willow got to spend time with Vivian and Evie at the zoo and at a great restaurant called the Taste of India. Willow acquired dancing skills this month. She also started walking with a walker Luke gave us. She has now successfully said "dog," "woof," "book," "baby," "duck," and "bye bye." Lynae came by to see Willow and the house as well. In August, we were finally able to have our first date without Willow; I wonder when that'll happen again. The culmination of Willow's 12th month was her birthday party. Willow's actually a whole year old!!
