All to Ourselves!

Caralena and her second cousins had a whole
children's museum to themselves this weekend.
Uncle Dave runs the place up in Meredith, NH.

During normal business hours, JJ probably
would not have climbed up in the castle.

Here is Caralena shopping at the pretend food store.
As you can see, she bought a beach ball, so we'll need

to order in tonight.

The ball stays afloat in mid-air because of a stream
of air coming out of the cone. Caralena is amazed.

Happy Thanksgiving

We had a fun Thanksgiving! Caralena was very, very
happy to have lots of people at her house. Here
she is in her Rasta outfit.

See? Rob is a fun guy!

Running around outside with Auntie Titi.

Happy girl.

 

Zoo-lander!

We were so lucky this weekend, because it was sunny
and warm in New York and we went to the
Bronx Zoo to see tigers and zebras and birds!

This peacock walked right up to us. Caralena said
"Hi!" but he did not reply. Rude.

Mama picked the biggest, ugliest bug she could find
for us on the Bug Carousel.

Please note that there is an actual live giraffe
behind this grumpy girl. (You would be grumpy too
if you smelled the stench in the giraffe house. Brutal.)

 

Difficult Model

We tried to get a cute photo today for our holiday card
but someone would not smile.
So if you don't get a card this year, don't blame it on
us! What can you do when your model will not smile...


...even when the garbage truck comes (that
is usually fun because they "beep" for us).
So...bah humbug to all!

 

What Were We Thinking?

Why did we think we could get a group photo
of ten babies? This is as good as it got:
Teddy the Pumpkin, Caralena Kitty, and Lucy Ladybug.

Caralena has shed her costume at this point.
But her friends Nina (aka "Nah-nah")
and Lucy the Ladybug sure look cute!
