Well, we finally did it! I want to introduce to you the brand new addition to the family- His name is PHILLY! My husband is from Philadelphia so the name came to the kids quickly. He is a Brussels Griffon mix and he just stole our hearts. We surprised Ryan, our 6 year old, with the puppy on her birthday. She has been asking, begging, asking, begging for a dog for the last year or so. She happens to be one of those very gentle, kind hearted, 6 year olds who understand how to be with animals. To be honest, I was really just going to surprise her with a kitty (Casey our current cat is 17!). But when my husband and I saw this puppy – it was ALL OVER! In fact, Scott just called and asked how his “son” was. The good news is- I think Casey is liking him too. All’s good. Just another step in the circle of life.
Napa was beyond AWESOME. I did get you the bottle of wine you asked for. We just have to get together and drink it. Although, to be honest, I’m going to need a liver transplant after all that wine! WOW!! When you leave that place you are just dying for a beer. LOL! The funny thing was how many Chicagoans we bumped into. The whole town must have needed a drink at the same time. lol.
Other then that- just enjoying the time to sleep late. I’m just taking one of those rare opportunities in life to breathe it all in. It’s been a gift and I refuse to leave that package unopened.

Melissa — I love Philly. We just took the plunge earlier this year with Libby Lu. She is a little Shizt Tsu. Adorable. Sometimes its like having an infant in the house again, isn’t it?
So glad to hear from you! I have missed you in the mornings! Chicago is missing out on something very special not having you on the airwaves in the morning to brighten up everyones day! It is really hard to listen to anyone on the radio at all anymore since your voice isn’t there.
Welcome back!!
