How it is done.





The best hat is a headlamp.
The best spot from which to watch cartoons is inside Chris's jacket.

Binkie Fairy



When little girls grow up, the Binkie Fairy visits them and asks if they will give up their binkie so that little puppies with no binkies can fall asleep comfortably. If the generous girl says yes, the Binkie Fairy gives her a PRESENT, a magical present that only big girls can have.

When Mary saw this character in the park, she knew just what to do. Later we ate cookies and played with the magic ball/Dark Crystal shard with Aunt Melissa, who wore suspiciously gaudy eyeshadow.

There is no shortage of decorating assistance here. Or spatula lickers.

Why go to Sears? Mary takes wonderful pictures of her little sister for us.

Sister Act





We are enjoying late nights and cuddly mornings. Twice the love means zero hands free to update this poor neglected blog. I'm looking for a blog program I can update directly from my smartphone. Currently, Facebook is getting all the snapshots because it can be completed in ten seconds or less.

The girls are happy and healthy. Helen is a sunny, talkative little cuddler. She always wants to be held, but only with a clear view of the rest of the room. That girl is always looking.
Mary is so wholeheartedly for Christmas, presents, Santa and snow that she can't hardly hold herself together.

This last photo is my favorite. I also love Mary's dance picture. That girl loves to sing and dance (and be Sleeping Beauty).
