Pippin!

Our family is finally all together. Pippin arrived on the Island Tuesday afternoon. Ugh...I'm so glad he's here and it's all over. The quarantine nonsesne is so....nonsensical. Well, I suppose it makes sense, but it's so much paperwork and counting days and money and blah blah blah. But, with some organization and lots of help from Grammy and Grandpop, it's all over! Now Levi has his dog. He' s so excited, as you'll be able to tell from these many pictures. He just follows Pippin around all day long squealing in delight.
Pippin was quite tired and curious about his new surrounding, when he arrived. But, he didn't
appear to be traumatized, like Grammy and I worried might happen.


<--This picture to the left is Levi's reaction when Pippin had to go outside for potty purposes, and left us inside for just a few minutes. And then the bottom picture is how happy he was to have him back.















<---Isn't that so sweet? Levi really does love him already.

Levi had some fun with Pippin's new collar. He put it on and took it back repeatedly for about 20 minutes probably. For some reason this picture really reminds me of Alexander. I think he looks like him here, I'm not sure why.











As you can see, sometimes Pippin is actually Levi's chair.


Levi likes to rummage through his dresser and bring me random clothing. He doesn't know what he's bringing me, but it's fun for him anyway. Well, a few days ago he brought me the Superman cape, so of course I quickly made a photo opportunity out of that.
I really like this picture below.

Now our little superhero has a dog to clean up his food messes. Praise the lord. It's silly to have to sweep under the table after every meal!



<--I really like this picture too. Papa took this week off work, so we've had a lot of family days. It'll be sad when he has to go back to work monday. But we've had a fun time.

I'll bet he is having so much fun with Pippin! Love all those cute pictures, especially the Superman, from the back.
Pippin will be such a good dog for Levi, he puts up with a lot. Alexander had fun playing with him!

Glad he's back home where he belongs! But I'm still wondering what happened to the other dog?

So Levi really is Superman, huh? I hope you got Levi's b-day card. I don't know if the stuff we're sending is getting there because I had your city misspelled.

Less than 6 months until we'll be there! I remind Naaman about once a week.

P.S. I don't know what's up with my blog but I can't seem to post anymore. And I don't know who wrote that website post. It wasn't me. I think I've been hacked.
