Athena Xena

The Smith family is proud to introduce our newest family member, Ms. Athena Xena. Athena is a Greek Box Turtle, loves her dehydrated carrots, enjoys long walks on our tan carpet, and fancies herself as speedy.  We can already tell that she is going to be a fill the hole in our hearts that we didn't even know existed.  Welcome, Athena. You have much to learn.

Today started with a bang: A surprise baby shower for a new gal and pal in the neighborhood.  Here was a shot at the beginning of the party.  The group doubled and so did the fun.  Babies are cool.

Calvin at the pet store.  ANnie isn't quite sure about the affair.  I think that Calvin and Athena have a special bond.

Ryan held her and jsut knw by the look in her eyes, by the waggle of her tail. by the shape of her shell that she belonged with us.

Loading the cart. In reality, Petsmart was way less than Petco.  Who knew?!

Happy kids.
