weLcome to Z FamiLia, eLLie!

Ellie Z.  the newest member to our family @ 12 wks old

while in california last week, M + I adopted (more like, 'inherited' from my parents) this gorgeous 12-week-old yellow labrador puppy.  after struggling with names (initially it was 'LJ' to rep the first letters of my parents' names), but then settled with the name 'ellie,' compliments from a trusted family source (grazie, D!).  she's joining her older sister, cheL-cheL, here in our Z household in 'the Lou' this coming WednesDay, via flight.  so if you happen to be in the STL airport on wednesdaY evening and see this adorable cutie-patootie running around in cargo pick-up waiting for me, she's our newest lil' buddy (what M loves to call her).
welcome to our family, ellie!  love, daddy + mommy + 'older sis' chel-chel Z.
