Reading and Fun with Peri

Last weekend, Peri visited on Saturday and we read and did so many things together. It was great because Mama was busy getting ready for Sunday's party....I had a playmate to keep me busy!

M&m's Celebration and the making of a beautiful family

I had a wonderful day yesterday. We had close to 90 people, including 35 or so little people for me to play with, at M&m's (Meaza and Melese) celebration at our house. Mama had hoped to put together all of her pictures by now, but hasn't had the chance, so instead, until she can put some words and pictures together (which may be a bit because she leaves for NYC on Wednesday -- until Friday), I am going to send you over to M&m's mama's blog (but first, a picture of M&m's Mama and her Mama)

I already have a new boyfriend (he just doesn't know it yet). I have said "Melese" at least 5 times in the last few days....Mama is just not quick enough with her camera, but she will record it....if I know her.

And, the proud papa to my friends M&m ....(on the right)....grinning from ear to ear for several hours yesterday!

Cousin Stephanie Visits Me!

Stephanie came to visit me this week! She is here on a 6 week trip around the country with 40 other "young" people. When she leaves tomorrow, they go to San Francisco. So far, she has been to Oklahoma City, Little Rock, Memphis, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, San Diego and more.

On Monday night, she visited and we had yummy ribs (made by Daddy). She came back this afternoon and we went canoeing and have been playing ever since.

Yay! Thanks for visiting, Stephanie. Please come again soon!

Here is a picture from last November (2008) when we were last together.

"Steak?" "Orange juice and broccoli?"

One more video from the playground in Spain where I was serving Mommy and Daddy a late afternoon lunch. I didn't get a big tip because at the end when I went to get their dessert, I was sidetracked by a cute blonde Spanish boy...

"Orange juice?", "Cake?", "More? Mas?"

For several months, I have been "serving" Mommy and Daddy, usually at the playground. Sometimes, I do this at home.
