Kimi Update and Missing Paris

Giovedì felice! Or Happy Thursday...tonight's my 3rd Italian class and we're all the way up to numbers. Thanks to Starbucks, I know how to pronounce "Venti" really well (the number 20 in Italian). The previous 19 I'm till working on. Life here in Colorado just keeps chugging along. I can't believe it's already mid-February and we haven't been skiing yet...in this of all years when we're getting record mountain snowfall!!! The weather down here is turning slightly warmer these days so it's much more comfortable to be outside so Kimi and I are spending lots of time in the park. I have been working on my cardmaking and am feeling my creative juices starting to flow again. Kimi is well on her way to being well trained so my schedule is opening up some. She gets her last round of shots on Monday which means she can start going to doggy daycare. Woo hoo!!! I still haven't started on Bel Canto but I may start tomorrow. I'm doing well on my reading resolution but not so well on my wine drinking....ugh!

Here's some new pics of the Kimi....she's growing into a beautiful dog and has a really sweet personality...when she's sleeping!! She's still a handful of energy and I think she wants to be a world famous Beagle...she has a tendency to howl...especially at the camera when I'm trying to take her picture. When she's not howling she's chewing on...

hair (yes, that's my hair she has in her mouth)

shirts

and sometimes her toys (rare!!)

Can you tell how big she's getting??? Soon, I won't be able to pick her up and put her on our bed!!! She's still sleeping in her crate but joins us in the bed around 5:30 or 6...that's when she's at her cutest and snuggliest!

While getting pics of Kimi, I ran across my Paris pictures. It seems like it was so long ago that we were there. This picture made me very nostalgic. It's the Nesle Bar!!
