{05may2010: Boys Day}

I know everyone thinks May 5 is Cinco de Mayo, but in Japan it's really Boy's Day (kodomonohi), which was recently changed to Children's Day.  But it's also my birthday, and this year is the big 3-0!
In celebration there were balloons and confetti and cupcakes and flowers (all of my favorite things) and a great lunch (and margaritas) at Boka. 

And for Darwin... I'll be calling the vet to see if we need to get her hips xray'd to check for hip dysplasia.  While she's walking better after all the meds, she still is having problems with her back end.  Her legs slip out from under her while standing and she just doesn't seem to have the same control over her backside as she used to.  It never ends.
