Volume 34

SUNDAY NEWS
January 24, 2010


It has been raining for days here in Arizona which doesn’t happen often. We have had some pretty good storms. One night you would have thought we got hit by a hurricane. The wind was crazy and it kept going all day and late into the night. We finally got all the Christmas decorations down. We were the last people in our community to turn off the lights outside I think. We took down the light and put up a Cardinals banner and flag for the play-offs. Unfortunately that was short lived and we are now adopting the Colts for the rest of the post season for Super Bowl hopes.


Very Vayden
Vayden went for a check-up at the doctor this week. She got shots in both arms and one of her legs. She was very upset, and so was Lori. She is a tough litter critter and she is doing well. She is in the top 92% in height. That has stayed pretty consistent throughout her growth. Looks like Vayden will not be shopping in the petite section when she gets older.

Vayden is a good eater willing to try almost anything. In fact several weeks ago while at the park she found a piece of dog poop, and before anyone could stop her she picked it up and took a nice bite of it. It was one of those with a crunchy outside form sitting in the sun, but a gooey inside. Her breath smelled terrible afterwards.
Vayden will now announce to everyone that she has pooped by saying the word “Stinty” Then she will pull out the changing pad an lay down on it. Christian and Vayden have great times together these days playing and laughing and running all over.


We have a few more pictures from our Christmas Cruise. These are from the ship. Our experience was a little different this time. Last cruise we were in a different port every single day. This cruise we had days where we were at sea the entire day.


There are a lot more people on board when you are not in port. Another thing that was different, was the fact that when we were leaving or returning to Los Angeles it was cold if you were up on the decks. It is strange to need a jacket one day and then wake up the next and be able to sun bathe. Below is Christian and Vayden doing miniture gold on a cold day.
Lori did well in the casino again. We saw most of the shows. There is a picture of the theater above. Vayden was a little more difficult this trip. She nevere mad it through an ennitre show. We had very nice servers at dinner. Their names were Monica nad Andre. They took good care of Vayden always mnaking her special napkin toys and bringing her fruit plates that she loved. Dinners were always really good.
