I really need to get to bed...

...but I haven't posted anything in over a week. It's been way too long. Shane was out of town last week so I didn't get much done other than play with Silas, play with the dogs, clean a bit, work a bit, babysit 2 days, take Silas to the zoo, and dash through the grocery store.
