We closed on our house January 23rd. We are now living in Hamburg Township, just outside of Pinckney, MI. For more information see our "Contact" page. Shirley-Mae is having a blast running around our new house. She explores all the rooms, tests her toys out on furniture, window sills, etc. and generally keeps quite busy. Her latest tricks are: climbing up on the couch by herself and mocking us by saying "no, no, no, nooo"
