Define irony: the day that I updated my Project 365 blog (July 14) with nearly a week's worth of photos is the same day that I forget to take a photo! I couldn't believe it when I was trying to get stuff together for another update and I could not find a single photo from 7/14, not even on my phone. So you'll have to settle for this picture of Luke with Tigger from yesterday. I had no idea when I took this photo that she would be back at the vet within 2 days having a feeding tube put in.

I had my parents pick up this 2009 photo album from Disney the last time they were in Orlando. I've been lamenting the fact that I hadn't gotten one when we were there earlier this year. I wanted Luke to have his very own photo album to remember the trip. Today, the 100 prints for the album arrived in the mail, so I spent most of the evening organizing the photos and getting them put in. Luke is going to love it!

In order for her to get better, we are under orders to get Tigger to eat. "Anything she wants. Anything at all! As long as she eats" This is her private stash of various people foods in the refrigerator: chicken with dried beef, bacon, sliced turkey, and canned chicken.

Tigger came home from the vet on Saturday, doing better, but not really well. She needs to continue to eat in order to really improve. Here she is sporting her bandage from the IV.

Tigger was diagnosed with Hepatic Lipidosis, which caused her to go into liver failure. The cure was for her to eat, so I stayed up late Thursday night cooking her favorite meal: chicken with dried beef. Here she is, eating some at the vet's office on Friday. Yay for eating!

I realized sometime Wednesday that Tigger was very sick. When I took these photos of her Thursday morning (while waiting for the vet's office to open), I honestly thought they would be the last photos of her I would ever have.

I took a few pictures of Luke playing with his MegaBloks pirate ship that I thought would be today's POD, but when he gave me the mermaid and said, "here Mommy, this is you," I had to laugh. Is that because she is a girl? (Hey, MegaBloks, we need some girl pirates!) "No, she's you!" I guess with the reddish curly hair, she does look a little like me. What do you think?

This ended up being the only photo I took today, though that obviously was not by design. Luke has a magnet board that we put his schedule on for the next day, so he knows what to expect. Some things have changed since I made the first set of magnets, so I recently made some new ones. I took this photo to represent "field trip day," which happens to be Tuesdays during the summer. Good thing, since I didn't take any others.

These are my new shoes, compliments of my mom (thanks, Mom!). I had found these online, but they were sold out of my size and width, but the local shoe store that carries lots of widths actually had the size and width combo I needed. I couldn't believe it. Go me!

Happy 4th, everyone! (And happy 11th anniversary to DH and me.)

I love this kind of totally spontaneous shot. Since Luke didn't have swim lessons on Saturday, we decided to take him to play in the pool on Friday, and we invited my parents to come along. Dad also went to Ga Tech, and he had not seen the new athletic center, so we showed them around after swimming. As we got back in the elevator to leave, Dad looked up and noticed the mirror-like surface of the ceiling. "Luke, look up!" He did, and he thought it was the funniest thing ever. I whipped out my camera and said "everyone look up!" and snapped this picture. (Sorry I wasn't looking up; I knew the camera would move and mess up the shot of I did.) Definitely the picture of the day!

The roses certainly were pretty at the grocery store tonight, but I found the truly unnatural colors a little unnerving. This picture just does not do justice to how *orange* the top center ones are, or how acid green the ones just to the left were. (They look pale yellow in the photo, but they were about the color of absinthe.) The lilac ones (bottom center) really looked fake. It was so weird.
