"Five little monkeys jumping on the bed"

New Minnie shirt

Mommy is happy to be home with me after 10 days in Arizona ... even if I woke up at 12:30 in the morning after she got home and stayed up until 3. :-) We watched Curious George and then read George books during that time. She was a zombie today to say the least. (I like the new Minnie Mouse shirt she brought home).

Husky influence early

Evan asked me to blog this picture ... sorry Coug fans. We see a resemblance in Elise's face to Evan.

Welcome sweet new cousin, Elise

Evan and Petra welcomed Elise at 8:30 p.m. last night. She is a healthy 8.4 pounds and 20 inches long with pretty brown hair. She didn't wait long to send a hello middle finger to the world, either. HAA HAA!

My bouncy Valentine

I sure will sure miss my sweet little Valentine when I go to spring training for 10 days this week, but I am so excited to see Mary for a little visit in the desert. YAY!

Swing time!

Hanging with Cousin Bo-Bo

I had a great time looking after my 5-month old cousin, Bo, Rocco's little brother. He is such a good-natured, happy little guy.

Stylin'

I like to pick out my own clothes now! The blouse under the pink sweater is a new one Grandma made.
