May 24th, 2017

Hello everybody! How are you? Things around here have been pretty quiet, which is a good thing. (Mom says that you don’t get to pick which kind of exciting, so quiet is better!)
Mom and I have been watching a lot of Bob Ross this week. She finds it soothing and I don’t mind him. We watch him on Netflix and Twitch. Do any of you have a Twitch account? It’s actually a social networking sort of site based around video games! But they have been showing some vintage TV shows. They recently started airing all of the Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood—all from the beginning!

Mom has to work in the morning, so she wants to go to bed now. I hope you’re all having a great day!

May 19th, 2017

It’s been a pretty quiet week around here. But the apple trees in the front yard have been blossoming!

Mom also bought some plants for her miniature garden this week, so we’ll have some pictures of that too soon!
We watched the nephew this week. Mom’s mom—had an appointment, so we were left with baby-sitting duty! He’s almost 17 months old now, so I guess it’s more of a toddler sitting. We went to see his mom for lunch. We were early, so we all went for a walk. (I stayed in the bottom of the stroller!)

Mom says that she really can’t go places that will allow Oliver without him, so Oliver came with too.

He was a very happy dog! There were plenty of things to smell. He got to bark at lots of people too.

This is a view of the Fox River. The drawbridge was up for a bit while we were walking, so Mom took a picture.
Mom has to go to work in the morning, so she says that it is time to go to bed. (We write this earlier in the week!) Sometimes, she’s not any fun! But alas—it’s part of having a Mom!

Mom invited another American Girl doll home to live with us. Her name is Zola Yang. She says that she would like to be called Zoe. She likes taking pictures and making videos! She has a fancy camera and camcorder that she let us play with.

She is Imogen’s cousin. I do think they look alike!

Don’t you like Imogen’s new hat? I think it looks very dapper!

Since it seems important to Mom, here is Zoe, the newest AG friend, and Adelaide, who has been here the longest!
Zoe says that she is going to show us how to make a stop motion movie! We probably won’t finish it for next week, but we will keep you updated!
Hope you’re all having a great week!

Hello everyone! How are you? Things are pretty much the same for all of us. Mom did place an order from Build-a-Bear though. I have a brand new shirt!
2017-04-20 17.42.43
She saw the t-shirt in an ad on Facebook of all places, and we had to have it! (Although, even though it’s probably only a week old, it’s already pilling, so Mom’s patience for it is dwindling.) Mom has seen shirts for Life is Good at gift stores.
Mom posted this on Instagram, but I thought I would share it here too. In our area of Wisconsin, there is a fish called the lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens). They are living fossils! They’ve been around for 136 MILLION YEARS! One of the places they breed is on the rocks of the Wolf River in a tiny town called Shiocton, Wisconsin. A few days ago, Mom went there to look at the overflowing Wolf River. It turned out that there were still some sturgeon there!

Mom uploaded a video to her Instagram account. I wanted to upload it here, but it won’t let me without uploading it to YouTube first. So here is a link to some ancient fish in action!
Hope you’re having a great day! Talk to you next week!
