Meet Nell

I know I have a lot of catching up to do (i.e. documenting our drive across the country, new house pictures, 4th of July, Abbey's baby blessing, etc. etc.), but before all that I thought I'd introduce you to Nell.
Nic loves her.
I love her.
And most importantly, Mason loves her.
A little too much sometimes.
(Below is Mason pretending to eat grass like Nell. Complete with smacking sounds.)
We think you'll like her too.
Until she bites you with her razor sharp puppy teeth.
We love our Nell Nell.

Alive and well, but a little sleepy

So we made it to Utah. Yes, it has been over a month ago since we arrived. I've been a little occupied as we had to unpack, furnish and decorate our house to our liking, visit family, play with Mason, and of course...get a puppy. We are, for the most part, settled now so I no longer have the excuse to put off the blog. Oh wait. Yes I do. I have a 7 week old puppy who has needs very similar to a newborn (i.e. getting up several times a night to sit on our back step while she goes potty only to put her back in her kennel where she cries and cries because she doesn't like to be alone.) So during this precious time when both Mason and Nell (our puppy) are sleeping, I plan on getting a thing or two done without the help of two little hands and four little paws. I will, however, return next week and post all the pictures from our magnificant adventure across the country. In the meantime, enjoy this little tidbit about Vizslas (which is Nell's breed).

(oh and FYI...she is excellent with Mason. He pretty much mauls her and she loves it.)
