The trip home...

While in California, we aquired a new dog. His name is Dexter, he is about 10 years old, and belonged to my parents. Since they are moving to Panama, we said we would take Dexter. He is a sweet dog and the kids absolutly love him. He rode in the car very well...as did the kids. :)

Tristan-tuckered out!

Emilia-catching some ZZZZZs!Our new dog-Dexter

We stayed in Layton, Utah overnight since the drive is about 18-19 hours. The kids were so tired! The hotel did not have a port-a-crib so we got inventive...we pushed one of the beds against the wall and Tristan slept there with me, Steve slept on the other bed with Dexter, and Emilia slept on a make-shift bed on the floor. We all got much needed sleep.

Tristan-all cozy in bed

Emilia-cuddling my old cabbage patch doll

Dexter-making himself at home on the second bed
