a cute one of Avery and Hank playing at Chic Fil A
so here is a picture of my cat Francis (aka: Fran, Franny, 'Fra-fra'), 8 days after surgery and feeling pretty spunky and up to her normal shenanigans.OK, I'll try to make this story as short as possible: A few weeks ago I discovered a small lump on her belly. They did surgery to remove 'it' and it turned out to be a 12" long fatty tumor! The incision is about 6" long - staples, and all that jazz. I've taken her in a couple times for check-ups, etc and all seemed well. Somehow though it got infected and she looked like she injured herself (but we don't know how). she was lathargic and was so swelled up and had a fever. she's doing better but still not great. an x-ray did not show any breaks. they're draining fluid right now (lovely), and she doesn't even stand or move yet. she'll purr though when you pet her and is doing better (though she doesn't look it). UH!
i always said i'd never spend money on a cat, but here i am. she sleeps w/me everynight and is so friendly and affectionate to anyone (sometimes annoyingly affectionate). she'll come home tomorrow and then i'm going out of town so it's all up to ryan then.
here is hank playing w/the neighbor girl, georgia. i love her pants!! we had our neighbors over and also jacob and kristin, who we happen to be mutual friends with (i used to work w/jacob). it was nice getting to know you better amy and jesse! jacob and kate (she's so sweet!):
Lindsay and I at 'Irish Idol' - Kareoke style in Martin City. Last week we went to this competition and my brother John also went and he made it to the finals tonight! He could win a $350 or $150 prize. Lindsay should have made it too! ...next year. I believe my whole family is going tonight. They actually have 3 judges like on American Idol that comment after you sing. Oh, and it's connected to Martin City's St. Patty's Day events....
here we are at the Mizzou-KSU game where we got crushed. ryan's cousins rob and andy are Mizzou alums and andy still lives in columbia. hank enjoyed the b-ball game again and still got lots of smiles from 'the enemy'.ok, so was that an info packed post, or what?!!

man lindsay, my face is like 2" longer than yours!
Awwww, I hope Francis gets soon better! Dan swore he would NEVER love cats, and he would do anything for Abbie. They are certainly more independent than dogs but are still so loving and cuddly in their own way!
