Day 13

Today we hung around the house in the morning while mommy tried to get some things done, Haley played with Kelly and Mikaela played with her toys and drove mommy nuts, and then we ran errands. Fun, fun! Mikaela's new trick for today is drinking from a straw!! Haley had Wendy's for lunch in the mall food court and she had a chocolate Frosty which Mikaela loved as well since sissy is always nice enough to share! Once it gets melted down a bit, Haley always puts a straw in it to drink the rest. Well, Mikaela wanted some really bad, so she figured that straw out and got some more Frosty!!! She really is learning something new every day. Once we got back home, I had to get the kitchen all claned up and prepare a spot for our houseguest for the next 3 weeks, Izzy! She is Carrie's 8 month old Black Lab and is staying with us while they are away in Seattle. She is so cute and very energetic!! Cappy wasn't too sure about our new houseguest and wanted to get her when she first arrived. He still isn't too sure about her and I'm still not comfortable letting him free around her, but he is actually doing a lot better then I thought he would!. He is very territorial and has attacked other dogs before so I just don't trust him. But my hope is that he will get used to her being here after a few days. Mikaela is a bit afraid of Izzy, especially when she barks! It's going to take some getting used to around here, that's for sure! But, we have 3 weeks so I think all will be well soon enough.

Carrie and crew - hope you guys have a blast on your vacation. I know you will! You will be missed around here, but I will take good care of your "baby!"
