Grand Sir

When I came home for lunch on my last Thursday at work, I caught Nora and Grand Sir having fun together. Thank you, Bill! I’m so glad you two are friends.

In the background, you can see Miss Petunia‘s tank, currently decorated with a little Buddha statue and some prayer flags. We respect our turtle’s religious beliefs.

Blake Smith FTW

Blake makes the cutest dinners for Nora. They are always well-balanced, contain vegetables, offer a veritable rainbow of tastes and textures to please her tiny palate, and are separated into little piles. Now, if only he would eat like that himself…

the big one

We had a little birthday party for Nora on Sunday afternoon with chocolate cake (Nora had frosted cornbread on Blake’s orders), adorable gifts (thank you, everyone!), and a little clip show of Nora’s first year of movies set to one of her favorite songs.

Thank you, family and friends, for being so sweet with our little bean. And thank you, Nora, for being the most adorable and fun person I have ever met.
