Our wedding anniversary

This weekend was effectively our wedding anniversary. We've actually been married for 6+ months longer then our anniversary date would indicate, also, the date isn't right, however, we decided that our anniversary would always be on memorial day. It was the day we met and the day that we had our wedding (also it gets me out of having to memorize another date!).

One might wonder how a newly married couple with a baby celebrates their one year anniversary. We did it by having a family weekend (well, Sunday and Monday). We went on walks, watched TV, took naps together, and played with Kathryn. We ate our last bit of wedding cake and shared the frosting with the baby. We also drank without baby a bottle of Champagne we saved from the wedding since Tonya couldn't drink at the wedding (as she was pregnant at the time!). The only low point of the weekend was a failed attempt to rescue a young domestic bunny we found on our walk.

Kathryn is just starting to take to non-bottle food. However, when she is hungry she doesn't have the patients for non-bottle food (no patients - I can't imaging where she gets that from!).

We saw a small bunny eating the plants next to the side walk on our walk on Sunday. At first I figured it was a young jackrabbit since, up in Folsom they are EVERYWHERE and it had a natural sandy color to its fur. However, it didn't run away or even freeze as we got close, when we got too close it moved but not in a panic just sort of to keep its distance (it didn't want to be more then 1.5 - 2 feet close to us. It was at this point Tonya noticed that it had a chain around its neck. We spent the next hour and a half trying to catch it. It spent most of the time hiding under a bmw that was just low enough we couldn't get to the chain or the scruff of its neck. It would eat from out hands and even let us pet it but nobody could snatch it up. During this time the number of people swelled to 6 trying to catch the bunny. A couple from the neighborhood, Tonya, Kathryn and I, and a nice young Indian woman (she even went to her house to get baby carrots to use as bait). The plan was to catch it and I would bring it home and keep it in a box with food and water for a few days to get in touch with one of the many bunny rescue orgs, but alas, the quick like a bunny is one of the nature similes that is true (in contrast to blind as a bat). We never did catch it. I just hope the owner finds it soon!
