Looking Cute

Abby had her first day of school at Trinity this week and Emily was very impressed by her special hairbow and the way her shirt was tucked in. She made Mimi dress her with a special hairbow of her own and made sure that her shirt stayed tucked in all day - just like Abby's. Such a cutie!

Georgia Girl

Donald had to attend a meeting in Athens and couldn't miss a chance to stop at the University Book Store and stock up on some Georgia gear for his favorite cheerleader. She was so excited to get a new pair of "G" pompoms and was especially excited about her new stuffed bulldog. We tried to explain that his name is Uga, but she prefers to call him Bully. At any rate, he has been her new bedtime partner lately...along with the 17,000 other animals that call her bedroom home.

Breakfast in Bed

Abby spent the night with us a few weeks ago and I treated her and Emily to a fancy breakfast in bed the next morning. Who says that I'm no cook?? I made homemade chocolate chip waffles with chocolate syrup and whipped cream topping - yum! They enjoyed watching cartoons in our bed and chowing down on breakfast from a tray. Made me remember being on the cruise at Christmas and sitting on the balcony for a delicious breakfast each morning. It really makes the day go well to start off with a good breakfast!

Emily and T.C.

Emily and T.C. have become pretty close buddies lately. Donald and I taken several cute pictures of them together while they're up to their tricks - sharing breakfast, lounging in the floor, holding hands, etc. Emily loves him so much that I even caught her trying to drink her milk from a bowl like a cat. I don't know why she wants to be a polar bear for Halloween - I think a cat would be much more appropriate! And seriously...why a polar bear? Do they even sell those costumes? Enjoy these last few days of summer vacation! And happy Monday off to all the furloughed teachers out there!
