it's been a fun couple of days... yesterday we met our playgroup friends at a park (lucky for us there are SO many parks around here - we always get a nice variety) and played all morning. stig got the afternoon off to hang out with his friend troy, who is visting for a few days. the weather is beautiful, so it was perfect for sitting out on the porch, relaxing and watching adella play with maggie, troy's friendly pup. adella loved her right away, though it took her a while to warm up to troy. we went out to dinner at the brew-n-view, our favorite place for dining with adella. the gameroom is so casual that we can let adella wander about and have fun instead of trying to convince her to stay seated. on the way out she spotted two more dogs - very exciting for her. one of them was a little poofy fluffy dog, and adella went right to it and gave a big hug and said, "fox!" it was a late night for her - she got to stay up until 9:00! but of course, she was up bright and early this morning, and is upstairs watching 'clifford' right now. not sure yet what we'll do today, but the weather is nice again, so definitely something outside. i'd better go see what little bug is up to...
