We are going to Asheville on Thursday morning to my brother and sister in laws house for a big extended family dinner. Justin�s Aunt, Uncle and cousins we rarely get to see will be there, so it should be fun. We�re spending our first night in a hotel with the kids (since there is too much family for one house) so hopefully we�ll all make it through with some sleep!�
�Avery likes to play fetch now with Dudley and every time he�d run and get the Frisbee she�d clap and say �YAAAAAY!�
�We are doing ok and adjusting. There are still times I forget and am waiting for him to jump up on the bed with me. Hayden misses him and is sweet. He says little �prayers� to him about how much he loved him and misses him.�

�Here are some pictures from the other night. We�ve had great weather and have been able to enjoy our fireplace and porch a lot the last week.�

�We have some sad news here, Milo died last night. He was acting really weird the day before yesterday and we took him to the vet yesterday and he was really sick. Very low temperature and trouble breathing and with blood work found out he was having kidney and liver issues. We took him to the pet ER to spend the night and keep getting IVs and over night they did an xray because he never peed all the fluid out, and it showed the fluid all in his abdomen. So he was either having fully kidney failure, or heart failure causing organ failure, or even maybe cancer causing the failure. They couldn�t tell about the cancer with the fluid obscuring the xray. So his prognosis was very very grim and we decided the best thing was to just put him to sleep. So we had a horrible night. We got him my first year in law school before we were married, 11 years ago. I still just can�t believe he�s gone.
So we are very sad and still kind of in shock. We have a busy weekend with houseguests and Hayden�s 4th birthday party is tomorrow, so we�ll have some nice activities to keep our minds off things.
Milo will be very very missed. He was a really good kitty.�
