All PJ All The Time for Thanksgiving 2009

A great Thanksgiving holiday with PJ and family. Little P loving the backyard and the cute-factor is a high 10+ at all times. PJ has her special blue-blanket for snuggles and was a champ visiting Jerri and Bren's for a play-date with the kids. PJ has also gone for many car rides, but is not allowed out for walks until all the shots are completed in a few more weeks. I've decided PJ's nickname should be Little Questionne as the white blaze on her forehead looks like a question mark with her nose as the dot.

Long Day and PJ Goes to Bed

An exhausted PJ has no more energy to play. Night Night all. That is her snuggle-buddy "Stuffy" next to her in bed.

The World Now Revolves Around PJ

So we were up and out at 8:30am to pick up PJ Nash, our newest member of the family. QUITE a day was had by all. First we stopped at Jerri and Bren's for a short visit to introduce PJ to Lucy and Charlie. Then home to show PJ around the back part of the house, where she will be hanging until the potty training is complete. We had much fun in the backyard, where PJ decided the hose nozzle was quite scary and needed to be attacked. Then tons of time running around exploring the yard. Several good naps, lunch and dinner and two textbook wees outside. (And one less than textbook wee inside. It won't be the last I'm sure).

New Moon Opening Night

Yet another successful girls night out to see New Moon at the Arclight in Hollywood. In the end there were 13 of us, up from I believe 8 for Twilight. Jacob and Edward action figures, dinner, drinks, more drinks, New Moon Trivia - the fun never ended. Congrats to Sharon, Jerri and Mary Beth as our top three trivia winner. I've already called the video release party at the Nash house. Dates to be announced soon.

Love the Pasadena Arboretum

One quick shot from a recent visit to the Arboretum with Jerri, Lucy and Charlie.

Jessica Pollock

Just putting the finishing touches on Jessica's room and the final piece of artwork is now complete. Using the mad-skills she learned at LACMA art camp, Jessica produced a very cool piece of artwork for her room using the accent colors. A large mess, but a great painting was the result.

PJ HAS BEEN FOUND!

After much research and many phone calls, we think we've found PJ - our new Cavalier King Charles puppy. We met PJ and her litter mates, and mom and dad today in Arcadia. We are IN LURVE with her already and we can bring her home at Thanksgiving. I suspect PJ will be starring on the blog once she arrives.

Jess Rocks the School Project

Jess had great fun doing one of the first big school projects for the year - The California Topographical Map. Working on assignments over seven nights, Jess created her map from clay, painted the elements, created a Map Key and a Compass Rose. Then she had to label the various locations. This was great fun for Jess since she was able to make mom keep HANDS OFF and uber-perfectionist mom had a bit of difficulty not participating. The final product was fabulous and grades in today were straight A. Well done Jess!! Well done school for creating projects that can actually be done by the kids, instead of the parents.
