I missed my Fifi and Samson so much!! Jim too of course! While my girls and I had a wonderful time, there is nothing better than having my whole family around. Samson seems less than happy to be home, but Fifi dried her tongue out giving me kisses. After getting her fair share of love Yoyo has disappeared under a chair somewhere. What a lovely day!

Jim and Samson and Fifi have camping fever! Of course Princess and Yoyo are more than happy to be home, so for the first time in years, Jim and Samson and Fifi are going solo. Princess and Yoyo are going to stay here with me at home and Jim is taking the other babies with him on a camping trip. This should be a great story when he returns. His best friend John is going with him and is taking his German Sheppard Roy. I would love to be a fly on the wall for this trip.

Since we all got back from our small vacation, Jim and I have done nothing but work. I consider this a lesson learned; vacations are great, but no more complete weeks away from the computer. It’s just too much work to catch up on. I think Yoyo and Princess are rather upset with the lack of attention. Samson and Fifi have always been self entertaining and I would love for Yoyo to develop this ability. Princess has always been a princess and I do not think she will ever stoop to the level of self entertaining. LOL

Wow! Jim and I took the babies to our little house in the mountains, almost a whole week with no phones, computers or distractions. I feel revitalized and I think everyone else does as well. Jim hasn’t stopped grinning, Princess has groomed herself into perfection, Yoyo is acting like an actual member of the family, Samson has frolicked like a puppy and Fifi is completely relaxed for the first time in months. When the family is happy, I am happy.
