December 2008 PICTURES! - By Jun

Hi Everyone! Mama figured out how to put pictures on my blog - finally - but we decided to put these pictures from our trip here. Mama said to keep it to 10 pictures...but...I chose 14! Don't tell!

Grammy and Grandpa came to meet us at the airport! I was SOOO happy to see them!

Just borrowed Mama's new glasses so I could help her with Christmas cards. Oshigoto!

I went to elementary school! For lunch and recess, anyway, with my cousin, Mollie.

Mollie and Mama and I decorated gingerbread boys and girls, too!

We went to the Christmas parade and then visited the nativity scene in town. No Baby Jesus, yet! We went back after Christmas - when he was born, you know, and THERE HE WAS!

My cousin, Kiely, put on a canned food drive with her friends. I was the hardest worker, emptying the boxes for the big kids so they could weigh how much they got!

As you can see, I never had a minute's rest!

Grandpa needed my help setting up the Christmas tree!

Yep, they needed my help decorating it too!

Peek-a-Christmas tree!

Grammy taught me how to make snow angels. See the wing?

I also helped Grammy make dinner rolls. Work, work, work!

I'm 14 too, just like my cousin, Kiely! I got 25% on PS2's rock guitar!

Mama and I dressed Christmassy for church, but Mama didn't wear a dress!

Mama and I danced in the snow on Christmas Eve. 7 inches fell! YEAH!

Well, that's all the pictures Mama would let me put on this post! I hope you liked them! I had a great time in Ameriiika!

Oyabaka Pictures for November 2008

Here's the best from November's choices!

Reading to Baby Doll in the "reading room". Yes, Baby Doll weighs - nothing! How can that be?

Licking the bowl - with my tongue!

Just kicking back, being two!

Yeah! Mama and my graham crackers turned out!

Zou-san, zou-san...(Elephant impersonation!)

Oyabaka Pictures for October 2008

An Australian blogger friend translates oyabaka to "besotted parent". My electric dictionary goes a bit further: the ludicrous behavior of a fond/doting parent. Oh well, be that as it may be, I am a proud member of the Oyabaka Club! I hope you are too!

Our Sports Queen!

Getting ready to help Daddy take out the trash.

Looks like a bushel and a peck of love to me!
