R.I.P. Carl Carlson

Well, if you haven't heard, we unfortunately had to have Carl put to sleep yesterday. It turns out that he had a grapefruit sized tumor on his spleen, which is apparently common in labs, and it had burst. It totally came out of nowhere. He was showing no signs previously and was his normal self on friday, but we woke up Saturday and he didn't want to move and was in obvious pain.

Rest In Peace Mr. Carlson. We'll miss you.

Hockey Game

So as promised, here are the pictures of Jessica's first hockey game. We went this past Sunday to watch the 'Canes take on the Lightning. It was a good game, and even went into overtime and tehn a shootout. Jessica had a good time, but fell asleep during the 3rd period. She would dance anytime that they played music which was pretty funny. She watched a little of the game, but probably watched more of it on the little TV's that we had at our seats than the actual game going on.

Ready to go before the game

Halloween

Ok, as promised here are the Halloween pictures and a few other sprinkled in. There will also be another update coming from me soon as we will be taking jessica to her first hockey game on the 16th. Now one final thing to discuss before I go and that is......the lack of Rich blogging. Whats up with that? One or both of Bich will hopefully read this and give the audience an acceptable answer. Inquiring minds want to know.
