Poor little thing

A hummingbird knocked himself out in our window today.

I put him on a towel in a box and Dan called the pet doctor to know what to do. She told us to wait an hour and if there were no changes we could bring it there.

After an hour, the bird opened his eyes but didn't really want to fly. I was worried about his wing so we went to the pet doctor.

He flew away in her office, she caught him, told us to release him in his natural habitat and that's what we did.

Everything went well and we're proud of ourselves ;-)

The New One has a name

We finally dedided to name our new Sugar Glider. In fact, we did it a few weeks ago but I didn't update my blog... Oups... Sorry... :-P

Dan's special boy is now named Spoutnik.

Once again, we followed our "Space Conquest" theme :

Aldrin is the second man who walked on the Moon.

Lois is Aldrins wife... so far ;-)

Valentina is the first woman who went to Space.

And Spoutnik is the first satellite sent to Space.

Endives au Jambon

Today, I was not working so I decided to cook one of my Dad's recipes: endive with ham.

I agree with you, it doesn't look that great (mostly because I forget to take a picture right out of the stove and I took the picture in the middle of my meal) but it's really good and Dan loved it.

And if I can make Dan eat vegetables, it's definitely a success ;-)

Our family

Let me introduce you to some members of the family.

We have Lois and Aldrin (Thanks April, Burgandy, Senja and Scott for this amazing gift). Aldrin's brother is named Armstrong that's why he's named Aldrin lol. Lois was Deirdre in the past but we realized that Buzz Aldrin's last wife was Lois. We wanted them to reproduce and we thought that would raise the chances lol. And we were right !

Valentina arrived quickly after. She was a calm baby...

... but she changed ;-)

And we have the "new one". We call him like that because I'm superstitious and I don't want him to die (Dan thinks it's ridiculous). He's tiny but really adventurous already.

They're weird animals but we love them and Dan is so proud to have a "baby boy" now. His "special boy" like he loves to call him.

Pop-Tarts

I had a new American experience this week : Pop-Tarts Frosted Blueberry.

One sentence comes to my mind right away : What the crap !?!

Who on earth would invent something so weird ? It's not that bad but it's not good either. It's way too sweet even for me.

Anyway... I did it but I'm not in a rush to do it again.

Pillow fight !

Today, it's raining !

We had nothing to do except watch movies and cuddle this morning. But, of course, Dan started a pillow fight.

This is the result.

I bit him and he's in pain.

I lost few hairs in the battle.

But we had a blast !

I know... we're not ready to have kids.

Cascade Canyon

Saturday morning, we were invited hiking with our good friends/neighbors Marcy and Guy.

They were raised in the Bay Area and they know all the good spots.

So we went to see Cascade Canyon in Fairfax. It was really nice to discover a new trail and enjoy the fresh air.

We still have plenty to learn about our region, but Marcy and Guy are going to take good care of us.
