She's such a silly girl.

This was Bug's outfit the other day. We had a few errands to run downtown. She's trying to be fierce in the first pic.

Here she is at the shop where her daddy works. See, she's not ALWAYS smiling.

Yes, the hair is gone.

She was making "signs" on the door. There are large, white magnets that she put the magnetic letters onto. She then wanted me to read them to her.

Several new photos.

Bug & I had a lovely time out in the yard a couple of days ago. She dressed herself...see the snaps on the back? Oh well. She tried.

The artist at work. She prefers pen and paper.

Ooh...an EGG! It was crushed shortly after taking this photo.

She LOVES the mini-trampoline.

Great joy this week...Bug learned how to hop on one foot! It happened while waiting in line at the grocery store.


We got the sandbox out again. This made Bug very happy.

(the day before)St. Patrick's Day

Bug's dad has been sitting in with a local band for a little while. They played here the night before St. Patrick's Day. Bug enjoyed it VERY much.

Here's a shot of the whole band. Bug's daddy is all the way to the right, with the guitar.

Here are a few shots of Bug.

Finally, what's a St. Patrick's Day celebration without a nice, cold bottle of.....ROOT BEER?!

Some art.

The girl is still drawing every day. Here are a couple of our current favorites: a steam shovel and a skeleton.

She's a super geek....

Bug's dad found that nifty item at the Salvation Army. We found that it only stays on her head if she wears that thick, extremely long hat. That first evening, they took a walk around the block in the dark, so that she could light the way with her head.

Bug has discovered the joys of Looney Tunes. Somehow, we hadn't gotten around to sharing too much of the old cartoons with her. One of her dad's customers loaned him the DVD collection, so she's been watching. She's got a favorite episode...she was laughing SO hard watching it...then she remembered the "back" button and watched it again. We stood back and watched her. We may have to videotape this. We've not seen her laugh quite like that before.

Bug & I watched an old Batman movie the other day. SOooo cheesy. She now goes around saying "holy horshoes". What a nut. She's decided she needs to take that DVD with us when we go to WA in April. She's sure that Uncle Craig would enjoy watching it with her.

Speaking of Uncle Craig...we'll be seeing him and Aunt Mary in April. We're hopping on the train again. Bug is so excited. She wants to see REAL VOLCANOES. There will be photos...lots of photos.
