Mother's Day

We were up bright and early to begin our Mother's Day festivities. We caught an early boat out of Seattle to go make breakfast for Peg. They came over on Friday afternoon and picked up the kids for the weekend so we could have a night out. A much needed night out. Dan made egg's Benedict with bacon and roasted potatoes. He makes the best Benedict sauce. We spent the morning hanging out and had a great time.

For lunch we headed over to my mom's to make her lunch. Olivia and John came over and we all had a great time as well. Dan made his yummy yummy take on a Monte Cristo. They were a big hit. But everything is always a hit when Dan is in the kitchen.

At about 3:30 we headed out for our long drive home. While we were on the ferry I picked up a little nickel and started looking through. I have been obsessing over the pet sections of papers since we got back up here. As I am looking I see a add for Schipperke puppies! Since its about 8:30 I decide its too early to call and wait. By about 9:15 I can wait no more. I call up the number and get a voicemail. So I leave them a message and hope that we will hear back from them. About an hour or so later the phone rings and its them. They have 2 little girls left. Yeah! Just what we are looking for. So we talk a little she tells me they are 8 1/2 weeks old, they are purebred but not registered etc. So I ask will you be around this afternoon so I can come get one? She says yes, gives me her address and we go on with our day. It was a long day, it was great seeing everyone but I just really wanted to go get our little baby girl. We got to their house at about 4:30 and their two Schipperke's are outside running around. They looked good and healthy and happy. We waited outside the gate and as I was going to get my phone to call them they came out. We went in and started playing with the babies. We decided on the one that appeared to be the smaller and more laid back of the two. She is feisty but she also is a cuddle bug so far. Right now she is all tired out curled up in my lap taking a little nap. We named her Isis.
