Sunset

These shots are from yesterday, 23 October 09. Me & Ang went down to visit Emilie & little Lucy. She is a doll! Emily is going back to work part time starting next week. Me, Ang, & my Mom are going to take turns watching her. I'll be watching her all day Tuesday & Thursday. I am really excited, but a little bit nervous! I've never been too great with kids, so hopefully this goes okay! Luckily she is way mellow, so it should be just fine. I will love spending time with her, & being around her more.

Anyways, I took these near her house when we were on our way home. The sky was gorgeous. Enjoy!

Pumpkin Patch

On 10 October 2009, me & some of the fam, went to a pumpkin patch! It was Adam, Sandy, Cassie, Peter, Emilie, Lucy, Ang, Mum, & me. It was a lot of fun! It was down in Santaquin & you took a hay ride to get to the actual pumpkin patch. It technically was not a hay ride...no hay. But I wasn't complaining! I didn't really want to sit on hay & get all dirty. Anyways, enjoy!

What are they eating? Donuts!

It looks like Adam is carting around a sack of potatoes, but it is Peter.

Cassie is way too cute for her own good.

Lucy was wearing the cutest outfit! You can't really tell but she had on jeans & a navy pea coat. Adorable!

Yeah, they look like idiots. Pretty funny though.

Cassie was pretty excited, stomping around the patch.

Lucy is so cute, you can't help but look at her.

Even Cassie wanted to stare at little Lucy!

German Cartoon

This is Schnappi the Crocodile. We watched this video in my German class & I could not stop laughing. I know, I am lame. Anyways, sorry about the crappy sound! Enjoy!

Edgar Update

Well, Edgar had surgery & is back home. His foot looks pretty gross! We still love him though! Me & Ang dropped him off Wednesday morning, & were supposed to get him that night. But the vet called & said he needed to spend the night. So on Thursday morning, I went & picked him up.

He is doing pretty good. Kind of depressed... He really wants to go outside, but we can't let him. I think that makes it worse for him. He has also been chewing at his stitches, so we made him a little bootie to wear (notice his tongue sticking out above...). Edgar doesn't like it much! My mom thinks we should call him Spock because it looks like he is doing the Vulcan salute (in case you were wondering, I had to use google to see what that was called...) from Star Trek. Anyways, I'll keep you posted! He goes back in on Monday for a follow up. The end.

Edgar

Edgar has had a swollen front paw since Thursday so yesterday, we finally took him to the vet (see above picture). We would have taken him sooner, but it was the weekend & then a holiday. It just was bad timing.... Anyways, so the vet wanted to take some x-rays because he thought he maybe had a fracture in his foot. So they took him back for the x-rays while me & Ang waited. When they finally brought him back they had shaved between two of his toes because he had a big lesion. It was pretty gross. Apparently another cat bit his foot & that was why it was initially swollen.

Then they showed us his x-rays. First let me tell you, he has adorable little bones in his leg & foot. Second, he had a broken toe. Completely broken. As in, the end little bone was totally severed from the rest of his foot. He had a little floating bone. So then the vet tells us they have to amputate his toe & remove the bone. Gross! Poor little guy.

Now, you might be wondering how he broke his toe, right? Obviously, there is no way of telling exactly how it happened... but that doesn't mean I don't have a theory! On Saturday, my dad stepped on his foot... & I think that is how it broke. Makes sense, don't you think? Anyways, we went & dropped little Edgar off this morning for surgery. I'll let you know how it goes! We've been calling him Clubby, because his foot was all swollen & looked like a club, and now we will have to call him Stubby. Heh heh.

Lucille Victoria DeMarco

7 lbs 2 oz, 18 inches long

Lucille Victoria DeMarco was born today around 2:15pm. Her parents are Michael & Emilie DeMarco. Emilie was due September 5 & had a doctors appointment this morning. At her appointment, she was surprised to find she was already dilated to a 9! After her doctor laughed because she was unaware she was in labor, they drove her straight to the hospital.

Little Lucy is beautiful, & we are glad to finally meet her! Welcome to the world!

Sunset, Utah Lake, & Ang

Last night, Ang & I headed out to Utah Lake to do some longboarding & take some photos. The sky was amazing! I have been trying to work on my portraiture, but so far I'm not too impressed with myself. Practice makes perfect, right? Angie is a pretty good sport, but she doesn't really like being in front of the camera.

We only met one creepy guy, which is a bonus! I've had multiple bad experiences down there at night. He just sat near us, drinking a beer, watching us out of the corner of his eye. Not too bad, all-in-all. Anyways, enjoy.
