Her last day as an only child

Stefan took this picture on a recent walk through Mills County Preserve, a place we like to take the dogs and wander through the woods. In many ways, its our saving grace. Having grown so accustomed to being dog owners in Northern CA, we just couldn't get used to not having a place where our animals can run free. Little dinky, dingy urban dog runs don't cut the mustard when you're used to the glory that is Crissy Field. Anyway, this picture is of Adela at Mills after our most recent battle with Stormasaurus Rex. It was the last time she will walk through the woods sisterless, because... Drumroll, please... I'm really, really, really in labor this time. Woo-hoo! We are on our way to NYU Medical Center, in the Lincoln Tunnel and I'm typing this between the god-awful (but welcomed) contractions! My next post will almost certainly include a picture of our second child.
