Family Cuddle

Hi everyone- here's JJ with Bella and Rizzo and Brazzie, our new old dog! Since Auntie Karen moved out she went through a moping period, and we were pretty worried about her for about a week. For those of you who don't know, Brazzie and Karen had a special bond, and Brazzie was pretty much attached to Karen's hip.
As of now though, she's doing great again, and actually seems to have a new spring to her step (we figure this is only because she used to wear herself out following Karen everywhere!) and is joining in for Family Cuddle on the bed, and going to the park for short walks!
In other news, JJ had a pretty crazy March, with travel every week, though April promises to be a bit more mellow, with a possible training in Ciudad Juarez Mexico! Dina is meeting cool people at the Scientific Learning Tucson office, and is settling in after the initial training period.
The desert is incredibly beautiful at this time of year, our back yard is in full bloom, including cat claw and carolina jessamine vines, snapdragons, aloe, sage, and even our pyracantha bush! We are still having a chance to enjoy our hot tub, the nights cool way down in the spring, and for this summer we have plans to ice it and use it as a cold plunge.
Also, our guest house is a guest house again, and Rebecca wins the prize for first guest since Karen moved. She came over to hang out as she is visiting her mom this week, and after JJ and she went to a hip hop class at our friend Megan's dance studio, we hot tubbed and she (accompanied by Brazzie of course-always the dog with a job) stayed over.
