Tahoe and Kathryn's Birthday

Bringing out the cake.


Well, it has been a few weeks since our last posting, so, to catch everyone up I thought I would FINALLY write something. First off, school started again. Yipee. With budget cuts to the Cal State University system of close to $600 million, things are a bit different. Luckily I was able to get into the classes that I needed. The first weekend after school started was the Lowe family annual vacation to lake Tahoe. Unfortunately for me I was only able to stay from friday thru monday night. I had to return for my tuesday classes. However, we were able to celebrate Kathryn's birthday and even had a cake.

The last day that I was at Tahoe we went to Emerald bay and I was persuasive enough to get people to swim out to the island. If you know what a swimming "noodle" is then you will be able to picture this better, but, 2 of the girls didn't feel confident enough to swim it by themselves so they floated out on noodles. It made the swim much slower and colder. It was fun though. I wish I had some pictures of everyone after the swim was done. Can you say blue?
Things are going well and Kathryn hasn't been sick and since she is now past the first 12 weeks we hope that she DOESN'T get sick either. Oh, I forgot, since this blog is called the Skeehan Zoo, I should tell you about the latest incident with the critters. Pinkerton had to have a growth removed that developed from a necrotizing (sp?) wound. I hate vet bills. But, he is fine, he just had a bit of a tummy tuck. And last but not least here is a picture of Kathryn catching up on emails.

If you have seen this photo too bad, I didn't feel like finding another one. I hope everyone is doing well.

  1. That swim is a long one - I would feel more confident with a noodle as well. Last time we did it I swear David was keeping a life guarding trained skeptical eye on me the whole time as I huffed and puffed. Hope you are settling into school routine again. How did the end result of your test prep class go?
