What up?

These guys are really pretty busy, these days. Making things, doing things, explaining how everything works.

This is Ida's dog, who is named "Calm."

Ida is hounding dogs throughout our neighborhood. A man let Ida walk his dog on a leash, the other day, and now every stuffed animal in our house now has a leash attached to it.

Sometimes Miki gets to play with Calm, just a little. She and Ida think we should get a chihuahua. Or at lesat some chickens and then a hamster, after Ichi dies.

The other day they came racing in from school, shouting, "Ichi! Is he alive? Is he dead? Ichi, you're still alive! Look, he's moving and everything! He's hungry. You're not dead!"
