A visit from my cousins

This Thanksgiving, my Nan, my Aunt Kristy,
and all my cousins came to visit.
We had a great time hanging out and playing together!


All the cousins together!



Here we all are at the Garfield Park Conservatory

We went to the Kohl Children's museum where I got my face painted

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year I went out to dinner with Mama, Da,
my Nan, Finley, and Auntie Kirsty!


Finley and I had a lot of fun jumping around the table,
so there aren't too many pictures, but here they are!








Adventures with my foster kittens

We had some foster kittens for three weeks.
I named them Cookie, Toby, Gravis (yes, Gravis), and Lila.


They just went to Petsmart yesterday--and all of them got homes.
Here are some pictures of me and my cousin Finley playing with them.



Here I am being the treat czar


Here we are!



Finley and Cookie



Feeding Lila


I really liked playing Charles Dickens action figure man



Gravis on the left and Lila on the right.
You can see how Lila, who is the only girl, is half the size of the other kitties


Toby when we first got him


Toby right before he left to be adopted
(you can see how fat he got from all my treats)


Cookie on the left, Lila in the right

More Charles Dickens

A trip to the farm

I forgot to post this earlier, so here it is.
A few weeks ago, I went with Du-Du (Lauren), Teddy,
and Boppy (Aunt Liz) to Buckley Homestead, a farm in Indiana.
We saw some sheep and cats, and had a good time.


Here I am checking out the sheep

Teddy and I disagreed over who would drive the car


Checking out more sheep.

Teddy and a sheep (there were lots of sheep there!)


Lauren and Lady being silly in the car

A video of Teddy and some sheep



Sitting in some corn



Another shot of corn...it was in the back of a big truck


Checking out the sheep....I didn't actually want to feed them,
but I did grab several handfuls of corn
