baby #3 for the powell’s…

we welcomed a new puppy into our home a few weeks ago.  we adopted her from hello bully (http://www.hellobully.com) which is an organization here in pittsburgh, pennsylvania to find homes for pit bulls.

today i found some green marker around her neck, and green marker all over my sons hands, haha!

she is such a calm puppy and loves to cuddle.

meet elsie!

tomorrow…

last monday we took both kids to see barack obama at the mellon arena in pittsburgh.  it was sooo cold, and then this monday it was absolutely gorgeus at 70 degrees!

they were so into it.  doing ‘the wave’ and chanting ‘YES WE CAN’ with the crowd.  so cute! and after waiting an hour in line, and well over an hour before barack began to speak, we had no crying.  amazing!!!

anyways, tomorrow we will be doing some volunteering for the obama campaign, with our kids in tow.

i hope everyone gets out and votes, no matter who your vote is for!  :)

oh, and the last photo is the kids and a friend waiting for the bus - how exciting!
