Linc - February

Linc's second bath!!

The pictures with the beautiful grass around Linc were taken around Vallejo. We needed to stop for a potty break for Linc. We were on our way to Scott and Melissa's place to celebrate Melissa's Birthday!! The picture with the cat and dog is at S&M's place. Cat's name is Cozmo.

Happy Birthday Melissa!

Robert and I went to San Francisco to celebrate Melissa's birthday. We had a lovely dinner at Asia SF. It was really interesting and I can't tell you guys the secret behind that restaurant because maybe someday you'll be there and we can't spoil the secret for you :) After dinner, we met up with some coworkers of Melissa's and partied the night away with the lovely birthday girl.

Mark and Pam visit us!

February 1st, Mark and Pam came to visit us. Friday night we picked them up at the airport and we all went to Mikuni's sushi bar. Robert and I were very exited to show them our new home and our new puppy, Linc. Later that night Scott and Melissa came to our home and we all played the Nintendo Wii.

February 2nd, we all got ready to go do some wine tasting in Amador County. Some of the wineries we visited were: Amador Foothill Winery, Stonehouse Vineyard and Winery, Montevina Winery, Renwood Winery and Vino Noceto. After spending the afternoon in wine country we headed to Placerville to a restaurant called Sequoia.

Superbowl!!! We had a little party for Superbowl. Pam, Mark, Scott, Melissa, Kim B., Pedja, Robert and I all spent Superbowl together at our home.

Monday we took Robert's mom and dad back to the stinken airport :( Robert and I had such a good time with them and wished they could stay longer. Can't wait to see them in August! Love and Miss you guys!

Our new Puppy!!

On January 15 Robert came to the door with something under his coat!! And the something was a Golden Retriever puppy! He was about 8 weeks old. He was born
November 16, 2007. It took us a few days to name him. I was flipping through the pages of a magazine and it had a watch on the advertisement and saw the word "Linc" so we decided to name him that.

Wine Tasting in Fair Play

Fair Play wineries are located in the heart of the Sierra Nevada foothills. You will find over 20 family-owned wineries. Scott and Melissa came down to see our new home and we did some wine tasting. It was basically me and Robert's first time going wine tasting! Poor Melissa had a sprang ankle and still wanted to go! What a trooper. We called her hop-a-long that day :)

We started at Cantiga Wineworks, then Sierra Oaks Estates, Shadow Ranch, Toogood Estate, and I couldn't tell you the last winery we ended up!? Let's just say I was feeling the effects of the wine:) After the wineries, we decided to take Scott and Melissa to a historic bar called Poor Reds. We treated them to the popular drink called the Gold Cadillac which is made with the liquor, Galliano. The creamy Galliano cocktail is so popular that Poor Red's uses more of the liquor than anyplace in the world! * Entrance to the wine cellar. * In the wine cellar.

Our New Home

On August 29th, 2007, Robert accepted and signed the offer of the price of the home! It was a very exiting time we were so eager to move to our new home. We couldn't have done this without our wonderful realator, Kathleen Loren Sturgeon. I want to thank you again for all the hard work you did. You were more than a realator to us and I am glad we are starting a wonderful friendship.

Sept. 27th, Robert, Kim B., Peja, Barry B. and I all shared a bottle of wine in our new home on the deck. That night Robert and I stayed our fist night in our new home. Then next day we moved most of all our stuff from our apartment to our new home.
