As Rare as a Loch Ness Monster Sighting

These photos show the never before seen journey of Henri outside--for the second time in his entire life (16 years? Maybe 17?). I lured him out using cat treats.

((WAS MY NEW SLAM BOOK INCLUDED??)) How much more obvious could a dream be? You looked really cute--same Jen, curly hair and well put together outfit. ((SAME CURLY HAIR, YEP - NOW RED TO COVER-UP ALL THE GREY. NOT SO PUT TOGETHER ANYMORE - QUITE LAZY.)) I can't believe Haley is on the pill. Isn't she still like 7 years old? ((17 IN OCTOBER!
