Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay, although Mom is kind of tired. There have been a lot of mosquitoes here in Wisconsin. Mom is getting bites all the time. For a while, they were even inside the house. (Mom thinks that she’s on their territory outside—but inside they ought to leave her alone!)

Mom went shopping the week before last and found something pretty cool! She found THREE of my brethren! She had just decided to stop at the thrift store just because, and it turned out to be a great decision! And they were only $2 a piece! These bears are more my size. Foster and the other bears Mom has found on ebay, are a bit bigger then me. Her mom told her that she had just worn me down enough that I was smaller than Foster, but it turns out that we came in two different sizes!

Mom says she doesn’t know what’s going to happen with the three new bears. She always wants backups in case something terrible happens to Foster or I, so they might go away. She doesn’t want to fall for another bear and worry about something happening to them. But they’re here, and that’s pretty cool.

Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. We have had a quiet week. On Monday, Mom, Caleb, and I went to Mom’s grandma’s funeral. She was 98 years old, so it wasn’t anything to be too sad about. I had to stay in the car when Mom and Caleb went inside the church for the service, but I helped her when she was in the car. Now we’re all going to have to help her write the thank you notes!

We did get some pretty flowers. Mom took pictures of them since they won’t last forever.

I think I like the lily the most. Mom went to a thrift store last week and found something that I want to share with you all! I’ll show you next week! I hope you have a great week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. It was very humid for a while this past week, which made for an unhappy Mom. However, it seems like it’s over with for now, so everything is okay.

Adelaide and I got to sit outside on the porch with Mom and Oliver today. It was very nice. It was about 70 degrees and nice and sunny. We probably sat out there for two hours before we had to go in for supper. Do you like sitting outside? It’s certainly one of Oliver’s favorite things to do. What do you think?
Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am okay. A few nights ago there were some pretty bad storms in the area. I slept through them, but Mom and Oliver woke up. We live on top of a little hill, so everything was okay, but there were a lot of people with flooded basements and yards.

Yesterday, Mom stopped at Goodwill. She found a bag of boys Build-a-Bear shoes! It’s a sort of crummy picture, and Mom says I look very cranky, but I was focusing on trying to stay upright! The shoes give my ankles enough support to hold the rest of me up. The new shoes came off soon after the picture, but we are going to try again soon. Mom says that she doesn’t remember them being quite so hard to get on, so she might make me some new shoes instead!
Talk to you later!

Hello everyone! How are you? I’m okay. I don’t have much to report today, but I do have a visitor that Mom and Oliver ran across yesterday.

This is a common garter snake. Mom and Oliver were walking around the yard and it startled them. After Mom took the picture, it stayed still like it thought that they’d forget that it was there. Oliver didn’t even seem to think it was there at all. (That’s a good thing—Oliver might’ve harassed it until it bit.)
Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! How are you? It is very humid here in Wisconsin. It makes Mom a very unhappy human, so I have to work extra hard to cheer her up!

She did find these little erasers. They’re animals! I couldn’t imagine actually using these to erase things! I haven’t decided if my favorite is the little giraffe or the elephant.

There was another pack that she bought. I think it’s supposed to be school supplies. I like the stapler, but Mom likes the pencil sharper. Which one is your favorite?

Talk to you next week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I am very tired. It has been a long week, and Mom says we ought to go to bed. I did have one thing that I wanted to share. Mom found me a new shirt!

It’s bright yellow. Mom says I could probably glow in the dark! And it has a bulldog on it She also found me a new sweatshirt but it’s too warm for that yet.
What do you think of my new shirt? Talk to you next week!
