Sine Curve Takes a Deep Dive....
W's cutie pie cat, Emma, went to the emergency hospital last night as when we returned from work yesterday, she was "listing" to one side -- ataxia. We thought it might be related to a blood clot in her brain, an aneurysm, or brain lesion/tumor. Turns out it was her little, sweet heart--she'd been diagnosed with a murmur 5 years ago and had no symptoms--until yesterday. Today, while having a CT scan, she joined the kitty angels. Apparently, she'd had a heart attack. Shocking, even though she was 5 days from her 15th birthday. And we leave Tel Aviv in less than 2 weeks. Some of you may recall that W's cat Manon died 48 hours after their arrival in Israel in 2008. Kira is now an only cat....

Sine Curve Edging Up....Slowly
We haven't done much posting on this blog this year so far, and here's why....
A horrific accident in January involving three of W's dearest cousins, Kelli, Sage and Mylo, was part of a difficult several months W had this year, along with three family deaths in W's family (two aunts and stepfather of 30 years) and last June’s huge loss of Kelli’s father. It’s no wonder why we have been distracted.... Events like these strongly reaffirm the importance of family and friends–which is one of the many reasons why W and C are looking forward to returning to Washington.
In a daring rescue, emergency personnel in Southern Calif. pulled Kelli Groves and her two young daughters from their car, which had been hit by a truck and was dangling off a bridge. NBC's™ Kristen Dahlgren reports and TODAY's™ Matt Lauer speaks with Groves about the terrifying ordeal. TODAY Show Video

We've just returned from our first REAL vacation since last May--the Madrid Tennis Open. More pictures of the tennis will be posted soon...we hope. In the meantime, below are links to two videos
of interviews with W's cousin Kelli and her family– one was done at the Today
Show in New York last week and the other at home in San Juan Capistrano,
CA.
