Trying to Show Her Age

06/08/12 edit:  She has been trying for about 2 weeks now to show only TWO fingers-- before, she gave it up as a lost cause, I guess.  We got this video when she still couldn't do it... now, she can (very proudly)!

The 1st night of the festival downtown

With William Wallace!

Getting past the sand-texture and enjoying it (finally!)

Enthralled by the dancing

Dancing myself!

In N.C.

Getting practice loving on a newborn (my cousin Addie)

I FINALLY got to meet this baby cousin Mommy kept leaving to go see!  At least I had my Tia Anna to play with me in the meantime.

At "Mrs. Susan's" (Uncle Colin's mom) house, I learned to "make beau'ful t'ings with Play-dough!

Someone took a picture of me sleeping... Mommy slept next to me, and didn't even mind when I put my feet in her back & kicked all night long.  I did wake up and see her beside me, and I was so happy that I gave her back massages.

With the Newly-Dr. GB!

His hat looks best on me, don't you think?

GB and Tia Anna "Graduated" -- I have no idea what that means, but I do know that any time I see orange, I say "Clemson!  Like GB & Tia Anna!"

Barnes & Noble

Reading to Mommy & Daddy

Stuffed Versions of Gerald & Piggy, My FAVORITE Literary Characters
(from Mo Willems' "Elephant & Piggy" series)

As you can see, we frequently have family dates to our local B & N stores around town-- we go to Story Time on Saturdays, or just get treats in their cafe and read lots of books, play with their train table & legos, and read e-books on our Nook.  Already Eowyn knows the bookstore is a cool place to go!

A Walk in the Park

Looking up...

...and up!!  These firs & cypress are enormous!

Charging the slope!

Isn't that stump wood just the coolest texture?

Note the new trees that have taken root in this old stump-- how cool is that?

It's a bird! It's a squirrel!  It's... Tree-Man?

What better place for a goofy family photo shoot?

Ok... now how do we get down?  It's quite high...

The arcs and twists of the trees fascinate the eye.

My camera fails miserably to capture the variety of greens

My Running Style

Mom and Dad always chuckle when I start running.  Sometimes I get a little carried away and knock myself over- I can't figure it out!  Oh well; I've only been doing this a few months.  By the time I'm all grown up I'm sure I'll have it down.

Gardening with Savta

Glasses Like Everyone Else

I've had fun trying on all the glasses I find around Sabba's house.  I'm going for an engineering look I think...

Traveling West

As I was making dinner, E came pushing in this rocking chair loaded down with every purse-like object she could find, with most of her toys IN said purses.

Oh yes, and wearing these stylish glasses...
