A Walk in the Park

Today we took Miss Nell down to Colonial Williamsburg for a walk and some lunch. We enjoyed Williamsburg Cheese Shop sandwhiches while Nell enjoyed her Purina Pro Puppy Chow! We took her to lunch in the park at the National Center for State Courts named after my Aunt Florence Leonard McConnell. It's a beautiful little garden with a comfortable bench, blooming azaleas, magnolia trees and tulip trees and lot's of soft green grass! Nell was proud of her heritage with Aunt Florence and enjoyed walking around the grounds of the National Center! The soft grass was a major hit! She is wonderfully social and everyone loves coming up to her and giving her compliments! We are only too proud!

Carolina Helga Nell Comes Home!!!!

FINALLY, our day to go pick up our baby has arrived! Paul and Anita live in Gastonia, NC so it's a long day of driving but it was the best day of driving I've ever had! Mom and Dad drove down with me and at 4am I was happy to have the company to keep me awake! Well, at least Dad kept me awake while Mom caught a quick nap! We arrived late morning at Paul and Anita's beautiful home and were greeted at the door by the Beautiful Miss Carolina Helga Nell!

She is a wild child and loved playing hide-and-seek in the shrubs around the house! She's a very confident, independent and beautiful girl. After some great time of advise and guidance from Anita and Paul, we all packed the car up and started the trek back to Williamsburg. Miss Nell did great on the drive though she wasn't pleased when we hit bumps in the road as she is a bit of a light sleeper! But with a little bit complaining we made it home to our first night together with our new family!
