Feliz Cumpleaños a Chloe!

Happy 7th Birthday to our little Jack Russell Terror Terrier, Chloe! 

This is Chloe, the dia that we got her.  She's riding in the car with her buddy, Douglas, who she later decapitated.  So sweet.     

This is Chloe's first trip to the playa.  Graham was stationed in Pensacola at the time.  We had just started dating 6 months before.  A lot has happened in 7 years...

Chloe went from this:

Hola! and excuses...

We owe you all a grande apology for disappearing.  Lo siento!  But we have a bueno excuse, actually a few.  The biggest one is that our household goods were delivered (hooray!) and our casa became chaotic (boo).  It really is crazy to see everything you own packed into wooden crates that you won't see for dos months.  Here are our worldly possessions leaving our townhouse in Norfolk, before their transatlantic journey:

And here are the crates being unloaded in Spain, looking pretty much the same.  Luckily, so did almost everything in them (with just a few minor exceptions - not bad for a Navy move.)

After the crates were emptied and the boxes sorted by room, this is what we were left with.
