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, everybody! How are you all? Things here are still very quiet!
Yesterday, Mom got out of work early. She got home in time to see Graham for a while. She noticed that Graham was wearing the same shirt as me!

Sorry, I’m looking a bit off in this picture, but he just got done hugging us all. But we’re wearing almost the same outfit! Foster is also wearing a shirt that Graham has too. (This is what happens when your mom buys clothes at the same place as someone else’s Mom.) He is very fond of Mom’s hairbrush, but we don’t know why. But it got him to stay still long enough so we could take a picture together, and that worked for Mom!
This week the temperature here in Wisconsin got to 60 degrees Fahrenheit! It is usually about 29 to 16 degrees! (I looked it up!) That meant that on Wednesday, Graham, Oliver, Mom, and I went for a walk. We ended up going to the park! I stayed in the stroller, but Graham went for a swing! He’s old enough now to sit up in a baby swing!

He lost interest in the swing pretty quickly, but it was still cool. We then walked back home. Mom took some pictures on the way back.

It’s supposed to snow this weekend, so the unseasonably warm weather will just be a faint memory!
Tot ziens!

Mom filled out a whole bunch of postcards for PostCrossing. We were wondering if any of my blog friends would like a postcard. We could only find Button's address and would like to send more out. We will send everywhere, but my international friends will have to wait until Mom gets more special stamps!

 

On one more note, Caleb got a new shirt! Oliver sort of stretched the old one!

Have a great day!

The rest of the hug is slowly gathering. Mom has been rescuing them via eBay. They’re living at her sister’s house now in a box. It’s the safest place for them right now, although we all wish we could be together again!

Mom took our pictures yesterday. Well, some of us. We love sitting outside on the porch. Oliver sits with us!

We each got a turn for a picture! It was a very nice day.

Mom says we all need some summer clothes! Maybe some shorts!

Foster, Milton, Robinson and I decided that we were much more focused on getting some ice cream instead! That didn’t require going shopping! I do love ice cream!

Mom says that she will take us outside tomorrow on her next day off. Maybe we can go to the park!

Mom went to her sister's house yesterday and rescued Chloe from her shipping container! The main hug has been reunited! Mom also brought Carabella home, so Caleb has a friend his size now. (Now if we could just get Oliver to leave him alone, he'd be a very happy bear!)

We've decided to name the bunny Cotton! I'm sure that bunnies eat cotton plants given half a chance, and it's sort of literary too!

Talk to you all later!

Just a little post off the iPad before we go to bed tonight! Mom bought me a wee present! It's a little bunny! We decided that maybe we'd let all of our friends give us choices for his name! What do you all think? We like book names! Charlotte volunteered Peter, but we decided he'd have to wear a little blue jacket with buttons! Anybody have any other ideas?

 

On another note, we're waiting for Mom to get Chloe from her sister's house, and then our main hug will be complete. We're scouting eBay for our other friends!

Yet another quick update! Mom found Robinson, Foster, Fleur and Charlotte! Chloe is on her way home right now!

We’ve been spending a lot of time sitting on the couch! We’re glad to be reunited again!

This is going to be a bit of a random post, because we have bits of random things we want to share!

On my Twitter feed, Mom has been posting pictures of my friends and me. She’s been using her ipad and different photo editing apps.

We’ve been thinking of doing a daily or weekly photo assignment thing—but she says that she’s not sure if she can come up with enough pictures! I say she takes almost daily pictures of Oliver on her Instagram feed!

She has also went back to sewing! She has gone back to sewing for the American Girl dolls that live here. This is Molly and her new sundress! Last time, she started with that and then branched out to clothes for me and my friends, so I hope it goes that way again! (There are patterns for AG clothes, but not for random sized bears and horse plushies! Must build up confidence first!)

Lastly, Wisconsin has decided to flirt with spring. I say ‘flirt’ because we will have a 50 degree F day, and then followed by a 25 degree F day—and right now it’s snowing! I’m not sure what season we’re supposed to be on, but both Mom and I are going to focus on the 50 degree F days!

Hope you all are having a good day! Talk to you later!

Mom has been interested in my twitter account again. To read our twitter feeds, Mom uses hootsuite, both on the computer and the iPad. When she used it to read her twitter, she would sometimes look at the button that was mine and remember all the very nice people on there! A few days ago, she clicked on it and all the nice people were still there! I followed some new people and read through lots of tweets! I hope we can keep it up again!

Mom has been making dolly food out of polymer clay. Technically, she's making it for her ball jointed dolls and a different set for the American Girl dolls. The AG sized stuff fits my friends and I too!

It is a nice, quiet morning-- at least as quiet as it can be with Oliver around! Talk to you later!

Things are pretty much the same around here. Oliver is still a handful! He has grown to his full size, a respectable 15 pounds (about 7 kg). Mom thinks that he might get more muscle, but he hasn’t gotten any bigger in a while.

Mom’s work is still yucky, so that’s why we haven’t posted a lot lately. Mom took a picture of me with her ipad, and I thought that we could share it—and then I talked her into writing up this post!

Mom says that things will change once she gets a different job—and we will post more. She has been fiddling with making a miniature farmyard for the little ones. The shed broke, so now she has to put it back together, but here’s a picture of what it looks like all together.

Sooner or later, there will be more grass, a vegetable plot, and a chicken coop!

I hope you’re all having a good day, and I hope Mom will be in the mood to write more soon!

My mom's parents left on their vacation to Alabama. That means that more of my friends can come downstairs and sit with us!

Robinson and Foster appreciate the change in scenery!
