New Additions to the Family

Maddy and Bella

A couple of weeks ago Travis and his dad went to do some work at the deer woods and on their way home they found to little puppies that had been abandoned on the side of the road. They of course picked them up and brought them home. They were covered in fleas and ticks and needed food. We gave them baths and got them some real puppy food. They had apparently been eating corn that had been put out for the deer. They are the cutest little things, both girls, seem to be a mix of lab. It seems that Travis's parents have decided to keep them both!!! I had been wanting another puppy, and just couldn't seem to convince Travis. So I'll take these two for now, and help his parents with them.

Trip to Orlando

My aunt had to go to Orlando for a work conference and I decided to go along to take advantage of the wonderful hotel her work was paying for, to keep her company, and to take advantage of the sunny, warm weather (Little Rock has turned into Seattle #2). We stayed a wonderful hotel, the Royal Pacific, one of Universal's resorts, so we were right by the two Universal parks and Citywalk (restaurants and shopping). We took the first full day in town to go to both of Universal's parks, which neither of us had ever been to, I spent some time at the pool while she was at the conference, we at a lot of really good food (including room service at midnight which my aunt could not believe she was doing), and we even made time to make it to the Magic Kingdom (you can't go to Orlando and not visit a Disney park). We had a lot of fun getting away and just hanging out.
