Beema and I

I've taken to calling Grandma and Grandpa Sachs "Beema and Beepa." They came up Saturday to hang out with me so that Mama and Papa could have a date. They had fun, but Beepa called to next day to say how exhausted they were. I think I worked them over pretty good...

Down By the Riverside

Today my Mama and Papa and I went for a walk on the Nooksack River at an eagle sanctuary. It was a lovely day to throw rocks in the river, spot eagles in trees, and get phone calls from family in England.

Field Trip

Last Thursday I got to accompany Mama and her middle school students on a fieldtrip to Marine Park. I really enjoyed hanging out with the big kids and helping them study all about the food cycle. I was a big help with the collection of decomposers that they needed to look at under the microscopes.

I'm not actually in any of these shots, but perhaps you'll enjoy seeing who I played with...

Kindermusik

Today was the last day of my Kindermusik class that I've been taking for a few months. We had a special party. Everyone had to make cookies from a recipe in our class workbook and we had a cookie exchange. We also sang some new songs, played games, and each got a special cupcake our teacher made us.

It was more sugar than I've seeen in my whole life.

I really liked decorating the little cards my mom and I attached to our cookie bags. I also like the story our teacher read today and when we all played "kitchen instruments" together.

My Mom and I were both sad to see the class end. We're taking it again next quarter, but most of my classmates have new siblings arriving this month so they won't be joining in us.

Hope you enjoy our pictures...

Sledding Again

We've experienced our second snowstorm of the year up here in Bellingham. School was closed for two days and I got to hang out at home with my Mama. Today is Saturday, though, and Papa was home and took me for a wicked sled ride.

Good Night

Lately, I've been needing alot of bears in my bed at night. I like to hold one close while I sleep. This shot is from a few nights ago, though. Tonight I went to bed tightly clutching my Busy Busy Monkeys book. I insisted.

It's rough being one and a half.

Dr. Doolittle

My cat Bruce has been living a cage for a while in our laundry room while we care for a big abscess he got in a cat fight. He had to have a little procedure and now he has a tube sticking out of his neck to drain the infection. He requires a lot of care. I really enjoy helping out with the medicines, though, as well as giving him food and a little TLC.

Tonight, on my own accord, I brought back a copy of a favorite book called Go, Dog, Go. Then I sat down and read a few pages by heart to my my kitty. I showed him each page after I read it outloud. "Go, dogs, go, (or "do-ga-do")" "Go by blimp ("bee-blimp")" and of course..."A dog party! ("Par-tay!")"

Then, I proceeded to feed Bruce imaginary pieces of cake from the book.

My Mom was quite impressed and I'm expecting my extra care to speed up the recovery...

A Nice Picture

My Grandpa Price recently sent us this nice photo of me.

Storytime

Dinner With Friends

Tonight we had our good friends the Zurchers over for dinner. We enjoyed some lasagne, some salad, and some good conversation. Ana and I enjoyed being silly together and I was sad to see her go. I called her name and waved bye-bye to her from my doorway where I watched her walk all the way to her car.

Some Family Shots

While my Price Grandparents were out west they had the opportunity to meet my Sachs Grandparents. Here are some photos of the happy group.

Also, my Aunt Aimee and Uncle Steve might appreciate seeing their couch being put to good use.

Grandpa and I

I had a fun time with my Grandpa Price while he was visiting, especially reading this book ver and over...

Grandma and I

I had a real fun time over the holidays getting to spend time with my Grandma and Grandpa Price who were visiting from the East Coast.

I miss them already...
