It's February?

A lot has happened in the last six months, but I will focus only on the most exciting so as not to overwhelm my readers. First off, we have been doing alot of house hunting. Mom thinks we may have found the one. Isn't it gorgeous! It even has a playhouse in back for Little Sis and I.

In this community we would also need a stagecoach.
Here we are checking out the local one-room-schoolhouse. I love it!
With all this snow we have been enjoying, it's good to stay busy around the house so as to avoid cabin fever. I have taken a liking to unloading the dishwasher,
playing dress-up with Little Sis,
spending long hours reading,
celebrating Christmas,
showing everyone just how fast we are,
hanging out with Little Cousin,
playing board games with Daddy,
playing in the snow,
snuggling,
and, my new love, bowling.

The Long, Hot Summer

Ahh, blessed summertime! So much to blog about. But first I need to address a question which many of you are probably wondering, and that is how I have suddenly found so much time to blog as of late. The reason for this bumper crop of blogs is a password. That's right, I've discovered the password to my parent's computer and have been blogging ever since. Although I suspect that soon I will be found out, do not despair if you do not hear from me for a while.

Little Sis and I have recently discovered our passion for painting. I don't mean the weak watercolor variety, but the more vivid tempera paints which leave their mark much better.

We have enjoyed lots of quality time with our grandmas,

grandpas, carousels,

aunts, uncles, and cousins.

This summer I've found time to drive a boat and do a little fishing.

Little Sis sure enjoyed it when I drove the boat.

I've been working in the kitchen a little with Mom. This sure seems like a lot of butter, but Mom says to trust her.

We even had a few visitors this summer, I think some of you out there may recognize this little lady to my right.

No summer is complete without a visit to the water park. The green tube is the water-slide Dad let me go down. Don't worry, the water is inside the tube and you end up in a little wading pool inside that building. The first time was a little rocky, but after the 2nd and 3rd attemps I am a pro.

We've spend a lot of quality time at home relaxing together. Little Sis and I are great playmates — most of the time.

We have all caught up on our reading,

and Mom says I'm honing my imagination. With this outfit, not only am I ready to go swimming, but I am prepared to take a cake out of the oven, and chop down a tree with my new chainsaw.

Urgent Message

We have updated our blog! I don't want any of my fans to miss my 3 NEW POSTS — I know you have been waiting months for this — so make sure you click below on the link that says "older posts" if need be (one is slightly back dated).

Birthdays

The annual event I love most is my birthday. And since it only comes once a year I try to make the most of it. I typically start planning my birthday party well in advance.

My little sis is catching on and I would say this year she really started to enjoy her birthday properly,

with my help of course.

Springtime

What a spring we had (yes, I know I'm a little behind, but my parents are really limiting my internet access lately)! My little sis is growing so fast these days you wouldn't recognize her. She's outgrown everything!

I keep telling Mom it's all about the portion size.

Little sis stays busy too, speed walking about the yard and taking care of her baby dolls.

We managed to take a family photo at Easter,

dye some eggs,


and go on TWO egg hunts.

The best part of spring was all the flowers, really. Here is little sis in front of Mom's tulips,

and at Botanica to see more tulips (can't you see our excitement).
