More Yoshi Yumminess - this time animated!

For your viewing pleasure :-)

Welcome Home Yoshi!

The day has finally arrived! Our newest baby has come home - meet Yoshi. She is a Portuguese water dog and she is 9 weeks old.

Mike and Marisol drove to Scottsville (outside of Charlottesville, VA) this morning. It is about 3 hours. Needless to say, Marisol was quite excited when she woke up this morning. Yoshi did quite well on the ride, but she did throw up twice. She's not quite used to the car!

Our first glimpse of her when we opened the door! Cuter in real life!

Together at last.

Introducing her to the house

Her first meal at home (which promptly came up a little while later. Someone is a bit excited today!)

Katie does some reconnaissance. 

Back outside.

She loves this hill!

It's been a great first day! Wish us luck on our first night :-)

I'll try to get some video clips up later...

Our Western Adventure

A few pictures from out vacation out to Disneyland and Las Vegas in February. They are in no particular order because it drives me crazy trying to get them in order on blogger and I figure it's better to post them out of order than not at all. Click on them for bigger views and to see them all. Or scroll down and I will add some captions to some of them.

Gerry's favorite part of Disneyland - our hotel room's bunk beds.

Hotel robes to go to the pool - we felt so glamorous :-)

CarsLand

Waiting to get in for the extra hour early - lots of people!

Mike and Marisol are on there somewhere!

On the plan ride out to CA - both kids did great on both flights.

Gerry's second favorite thing at Disneyland - the pool. We went in all 3 days.

Marisol riding the Cars ride with Mike.

Gerry's third favorite thing at Disneyland - the arcade. 

We caught a parade on the second night.

The drive to Las Vegas was amazing. We took many, MANY pictures of the mountains.

Aquarium in the Mandalay Bay casino.

Hoover Dam

Little trains we didn't ride.

Big train we didn't ride.

Hiking! What family is this??

The children's museum in Las Vegas is awesome.

We drove back to CA the day before our flight and hit the beach.

Dinner in our hotel the last night.

Love these goofballs.

 And more Disneyland (told you they're out of order! Ha.) It didn't help that I have pictures on the camera and on phones so I pulled them from different places on the computer...

And now more Mountains and Vegas! If you didn't get enough the first time...

Flying home and more mountains:

What a great trip!!
