Donald and I

Donald and Marky watched "Marley and Me".  hehe :)

Mark still sicky, but getting better. He says he has a busy week next week....hmmmm....wonder why? ;) and yes, Mark, I know you don't always remember to slow down...it worries me a bit! Not good to have illness be the only thing to slow you down. Gotta take care of yourself! :)

I like the Lazy Smurf teeshirt. Kinda perfect, seeing that he said he's sort of the opposite of lazy. lol
