Quick

Things were a bit chaotic this morning from 6:30 am when Sam woke up until 7:30 am when Ryan scooted out the door to meet up with Ian to mark the Breaker course. In between, I got out for a quick 3 mile run, got showered, Ryan got breakfast made for himself and Sam, clothes were changed, hats put on, and all sorts of other stuff. A while later, Sam and I drove south to meet up with my mom and dad, who were kind enough to agree to hang out with Sam for the morning while I worked and Ryan ran/course marked. Sam was so excited to see them, and was perhaps equally excited to know that she was going to be able to see Bobby, my sister's cat :-)

Speaking of cats, Gigi got lots of hugs this morning from Sam. Sam lays her head on Gigi's body, listening to her purr, over and over, until Gigi can't take it any more and either moves away or gives Sam a little swat or light nip. This morning's episode ended with a small nip to the arm, after Sam moved from hugging to tugging. Oh well. The hugs were good at least!
