These are some of our friends from the neighborhood – they are all from a one-block radius!  Mommy wasn’t kidding when she said “kid-friendly neighborhood”!  (Oh yeah, Jessie dog is pretty sure she is a “people” and so *had* to get in the photo).

Mommy set up the bounch house for us.  She makes sure to only do it when she knows the other neighborhood kids are around, so they can play, too.

It is difficult to tell that this is *me* and not my big sissie… I am so strong and adventurous now!

April 21, 2007

I fell asleep on mommy’s neck… mama is a tad bit sore today :)

Rear view of that :)

April 21, 2007

We are hanging like monkeys!

April 21, 2007

Yesterday I played ball with my Omi…

… and when mommy wasn’t watching, I played in a sewer with daddy!

April 20, 2007

I may cut a slightly narrower swath than you daddy, but oh I look SO much *cuter* than you at the lawnmowing :) Oh, and don’t even *bother* trying to engage me as you walk by… I am concentrating very very hard over here.


My mommy’s birthday was today, so my Omi came to visit; she was showing me the flowers that she brought.

April 20, 2007

Sissie, help me get out in the backyard with you! Mommy won’t let me, but you will help me, won’t you?

Mommy made a homemade ball pit for us.

April 18, 2007

My 2nd Easter was so much fun! We had visitors and we went to church. I enjoyed all the Easter flowers at church. Mommy had to watch very carefully b/c I like to *pick* flowers :)

We went for a walk after Easter supper, here I am with my Omi.

April 18, 2007

Mommy’s mommy (Omi) and my auntie Sassi (mommy’s sister Susanne) came for a visit…

Auntie took this picture of mommy swimming with us.

April 18, 2007


Auntie and I dyed Easter eggs in our p.j.’s – look at what a pro I have become, I do it all by myself. We only spilled 2 of the cups!

I put my own personal touch on this egg – it was mommy’s favorite!

April 18, 2007


Easter Sunday started out innocently enough… we went to church and had a wonderful Roast Lamb Easter supper (thank you to Omi for that!!!). But THEN we received our Easter baskets, and we ate….


…. THIS much chocolate…

April 18, 2007

… and we got our new Gammy Easter dresses THIS dirty!

It did not help matters that my sissie tried to put chocolate in my hair :)

April 18, 2007

My auntie Susanne took me swimming – oh, how I *adored* it!

I enjoyed eating (eh hem… *reading*!) my Easter cards.

April 18, 2007

I love my auntie :)

As soon as we had opened the gym door, I *ran* as fast as my little feet would take me, to go play “baskee-ball” with the big boys (see background). Mommy only caught up to me *just* as I reached them :) Luckily we found a ball and I “played” with them on the other court…

April 18, 2007


Ha ha, here I am throwing a minor tantrum…


… because mommy would not let me keep doing *this* with the safety tape behind the SPCA!

April 18, 2007


My uncle Chris played “airplane” with me.


Here is my dear birth mommy Val.

I still fit in here!

My daddy and my puppy…
