Johanna and Kaitlyn passed their belt test in Shaolin Kempo! They are now blue/green belts!

Johanna liked this Austrialian Shepherd at the Dog Show. His name is "JJ"!

Our new hamster, Cocoa, is very different from any other hamster we've ever had. Her ears seem larger and are very expressive. You can tell who/what she's listening to by how she angles them. She also must have very large scent glands, as she has a stronger hamster smell. So when she gets scared, which is often, she emits the smell.
The girls always have fun with their cousins! Here's Johanna with Tia!
Auntie Carol and Uncle Don/Auntie Amy surprised the girls with lots of gifts from Australia!
Johanna decided to organize them with her writing things, on top of her Lego container.
