We're in Pittsburgh!

Joey and I decided to take a trip to Pittsburgh. Joe had to go away for two weeks and I didn't want to stay in the desert alone. We were supposed to get here last Thurdsay, April 9. We drove to Las Vegas to get the flight. The drive to Vegas is about 3 hours from Edwards. We got there, got to the gate and found out that the flight was cancelled because of mechanical issues. We went back to the ticketing counter and stood inline to get rebooked. By 6:00 pm, we had a flight for Friday morning and our bags. I wasn't about to drive back to Edwards. The airline was giving everyone a free room at a hotel close to the strip and if I didn't have Joey, that would have been great. But I didn't feel safe so Joe called the AF base that is about 25 mins away and got us a room. Of course, the room didn't have a crib/pack n'play for Joey so he had to sleep in bed with me. Because of that, I didn't sleep all night because of two reasons. First, I was afraid that he would roll off the bed and get hurt. Second, Joey was in the middle of me and about 5 pillows and he wanted to spread out while he slept. So I was on the edge of the bed, almost falling off. At 4am, we left the base and drove to the airport for our 6am flight. We ended up getting a whole row to ourselves so Joey slept on the plane and I stared into space. What an interesting trip.
Since then we have been having a great time here. Joey has become a huge flirt and loves to perform for groups of women. He had fun with his Easter basket and LOVED the bubbles. We hid them so that we didn't have to blow bubbles anymore. We have spent time with my parents, my brother Mike and his fiance Maggie, my cousin (Joey's godmother), my aunt and my friend Aimee and her daughter Mia. We also got went to my great aunts last Friday for Good Friday and spent some time with some cousins. Oh, and we have also done a lot of shopping. I have been to the mall everyday this week so far:)
Here are some pictures from our first week in Pittsburgh.

Joey mad because I wouldn't open his bubbles.

This is Reggie, Mike and Maggie's dog. He is my new buddy. But don't tell CeCe because she hates him. She isn't here with us but when she is here she walks by him and growls. He weighs about 50 lbs more than him but that doesn't stop her.
