A little of this, a little of that...

Bug met the "big dog" next door. His name is "Zook". She likes him now and plays fetch with him. Their first meeting wasn't so great, though. He was a bit excited and licked her in the face. She had her chalk out and wrote "don't like my face" on the sidewalk. I asked her why it was backwards. She said that she wrote it that way so that Zook could read it. (I think she was trying to write it upside down...either way, it's pretty cool)

Bug just finished a 6-lesson karate class at the neighborhood center. At the end of it, they received their white belts. Bug's dad was able to get an hour off in the afternoon to join us for the final class. Here she is with the instructor.
Here she is with the entire class. They were all so excited that day.
We had surprise visitors earlier this month....all the way from Oregon!

Just a few pics to share.

Bug doesn't nap much these days...this was at 5PM one night. I let her snooze for 30 minutes. It was a good thing. I took the picture because I was pretty sure that she would deny being asleep (which she did).
Bug gets a bit fancy with her letters these days.

Here's an old one....makes me laugh whenever I see it. This was August, 2004. Bug was 2 years old and we were at Grandma's house. We'd just gotten off the train from California. Auntie Sharon caught her in a most interesting pose.

Bug in space!

Bug's dad has a co-worker who likes to take pictures of the girl and then have a bit of fun with them. Here's one from yesterday. (yes, she leaves the house like that....)
