Playing with Lilly, pear trees on the way to the movies

Early morning shots of Mommy and Daddy

Lilly upstairs...isn't she silly?

Good Evening friends and relatives wherever you be!!

What a day this has been!! You know how people have firsts? Like....first love, first time you win at cards, first date, first kiss, first marriage, first anniversary, first big fight, first pet, first...well, you get the idea. I had a first today. It was incredible!!

So, here's what happened. We all got up this morning...some earlier than others but that always gives me a little time to snuggle with my mommy in her big bed......and did all the regular morning stuff. Wee wee, short walk hoping I'll do something else which I try not to do until later because that means I get to have a second walk, breakfast, some of mine and maybe a little bit of mommy's toast, and then a ride. Mommy and Aunt Jodi went to yoga to wrap their legs around their arms or some such thing, and Daddy, Uncle Peter and I went to WallyWorld. I had to stay in the truck and guard it....that's my job and I do a darn good job of it. Then, we all came back here and had lunch.....mine and a little bit of mommy's sandwich.....and then, Daddy and Uncle Peter and Mommy went off to the movies. They went to see Avatar because Uncle Peter had seen it once and wanted to see it again and he said Mommy would love it which she did but not so much Daddy. He's more a John Wayne shoot 'em up person. Anyhow, I stayed here with Aunt Jodi and I was such a good girl. Then Katie came home from school and got ready to go swimming at the YMCA, but Aunt Jodi had to take her so guess where that left me??? YES! A first! At home. Alone. All by myself. Well, not really all by myself but Lilly had to go in the laundry room with the door shut 'cause she's only a year old and they don't trust her. But I'm two and they trusted me!! A first!! Yippeeeayyyyy!! And you know what? I was a very good girl! I was only alone for about half an hour until Mommy and Daddy got home from the movies, but that was enough time to do some major damage and I didn't!! So now maybe they'll do it again sometime and I can show them that I'm all grown up now and don't need to eat the toilet paper rolls, or shred the morning newspaper, or.....eat the new stick of butter on the counter top.

So, then we all had pizza for supper except Aunt Jodi and Katie won't be home until later and then Daddy will make them pizza, too. Lilly and I just got a little corner of the crust, but we both liked it. She's beginning to warm up to me and wants to play, so I do, and I try to be gentle, but she's very small......fifteen pounds to my eighty-eight.....and sometimes I hurt her. I never mean to, and she always comes back to play buy my mommy worries so she watches carefully.

Hope you are all well and happy. Mommy and Uncle Peter are going to do some tie-dying tomorrow, I think. That should be interesting.

I'll be back!
