We traveled 8 hours to Virginia to meet our new granddogaughter for the first time…
This is the new little girl in our family…her name is Raffa, after the tennis player Rafael Nadal…
Here she is enduring grandma hugs…
And enduring hugs from the kids…she’s a good dog!!!
I get paws on my shoulders and kisses as we travel to pick up the kids from school…she even poses for a selfie with me🤣
She loves more dreamy hugs and pats from Aaden and Parker as she rides in the car from picking them up from school…
So adorable in her Mommy’s arms❤️
Safe and happy in Daddy’s arms…
Curling up with Papa on the couch!!
It was totally worth the 8 hour drive to meet the newest member of our family…now for the ride home…

Victor and I like to make elaborate sandwiches for the long drive, so we don’t have to stop for a meal…
For me, since figs are very much in season now, I made a sandwich with lettuce, swiss cheese, prosciutto, sliced figs and honey dijon mustard between Trader Joe’s whole wheat, gluten-free bread!!! 
It is soooo yummy!!!

What an adorable pooch! I’m sure she’ll get plenty of hugs and pats from the family.
Your sandwich looks yummy. How clever.

She was so much fun to play with, a little nippy, but that’s to be expected:)
