Fun New Videos!

Hey Blog Fans - Mamma Cindy got a new blackberry and extended memory card... Well, that means a new toy for her and new videos for you! Check out the YouTube page she created for us by clicking on this link. You can sign up for a YouTube account and get notified everytime she uploads a new video... or you can just check it out every so often yourself for the latest.

(And no worries, the addition of videos does not mean there will be any less excitement here on the blog, with my photo updates...)

See you in cyberspace ---

Happy New Year

We hope everyone enjoyed their holidays,
and wish a Happy 2008 to All!

Tea Set



In November, my B.G. in Pittsburgh taught me what fun a tea set can be... Now Aunt Linda & Cheryl got me my very own set to play with at home. It makes jolly good tea!







My Grandma Puechl used to play with this furniture when she was a little girl! It was made special for her, and Aunt Linda kept it all these years... and now it gets to play with me! It has Grandma Jean's name on it, and the set includes this bureau, a little desk and stool and a bed. Grandma, come play with me!!





Aunt Linda & Aunt Cheryl & a candy cane


It's true, I had some great conversations with Aunts Linda & Cheryl... We talked about my china pattern (they got me a new princess tea set for Christmas!) and of course we discussed the many wonderful flavors of candy canes... Just like raisins and popcorn and cake, candy canes give me happy feet - and happy shoulders, too I guess!




More Fun on Christmas


Bacchus, my canine cousin... Needless to say, he happens to be the very best vocalist in the family, though it's hard to tell from this picture... Here, he's focusing on being fluffly & adorable instead.























My Loot! What a fun day!

Me & Mamma






Hand Cream



Not long ago, Aunt Carol showed me just how much fun hand cream really is!











Me & My Aunts...


Well, I was the luckiest girl & got a lot of love from all my aunts over the holiday... Here I am with Aunt Linda and Aunt Carol (Mamma Marianne's two sisters)

(Aunt Linda is helping me say a gleeful "Oooh!")



New slippers from Aunt Carol...






New Puzzle from Mommies...

(Aunt Carol loves puzzles...)






Adorable




More Christmas


Duncan helps me hunt for more presents - Atta Boy, Duncan!


Christmas Gang

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way...


Oh what fun it is to share... such treats on Christmas Day!





Early Christmas Morning


Christmas Day 2007!



Stocking presents with Mamma Marianne, first thing on Christmas Day!












This is practically one of my last bottles... Shortly after the New Year, Mammas started always giving me sippy cups instead. I'm such a Big Girl!

Delilah and Linda



Delilah is usually timid around strangers, or people she doesn't know very well...

Forget that! Aunt Linda is the BEST!

Christmas Music























'Fa la la la lah, la la lah lah!'

Christmastime 2007

Aunts Linda & Cheryl visited from Pennsylvania, to spend Christmas with us. Aunt Carol drove up from Atlanta, so we had a warm & wonderful family holiday!


The really good thing about Aunt Cheryl (which many people don't know...) is that she is a flawless dancer!! With her moves, and the silly musical reindeer G-Ma gave me, Cheryl and I shuffled all across the house. -Even Duncan and Bacchus thought we were amazing!
