Ike

Jense & Lauralee's daughter, Kinslee, is only two weeks older than Lola, and we have already decided that at least for the time being, they are best friends! We love getting our girls together and try to visit each other as often as we can. The most recent visit was in January, over Dan's birthday. On Saturday, we all went to Ikea together, but Jense & Lauralee never quite made it inside the store, as there was the Seattle animal rescue van parked by the door, and there was a a certain little puppy that caught their eye. They brought the little guy home, Lauralee and I headed to Petco, and soon enough, the little puppy had a new name, Ike...like Ikea! Lola was in love with him. She laughed at him, would pet him, and even try to give him kisses. That might be the next addition in our household (but probably only if Lola's mom brings one home without telling Lola's dad!)
