Hello everyone! How are you? I’m okay. Mom got a new camera lens for her Christmas present! It lets her camera do some very fancy things!

Last week was a supermoon. The other lens does not like night photography very much. (Mom thinks it would work if she had a tripod.) This lens doesn’t get a lot of detail, but it’s pretty good!

She also took a picture of my friends and I in front of the Christmas tree. The sparkly stuff in the background is another thing that the new camera lens creates.

Milton and Foster got their turn too.

Next week, I will show you some pictures Mom took of the Christmas tree. I hope you all have a great week!

Hello everyone! How are you? I’m okay. Mom got transferred back to the embroidery department on Monday at the not-retail job, so that’s some new stuff for her to deal with.

The weather has been nice for the past few days. Yesterday, Milton, Foster, and I spent some time on the porch with Mom. She took pictures of some of her new miniatures, and we took in the scenery! It’s a very comfy bench!

Oliver says hello. He likes this weather too. He helped Mom with her picture taking. He is very good at supervising!
I hope you’re all having a great week!

Hallo everyone! How has your week been? Things have been pretty quiet around here.
Mom said that we couldn’t afford a new TV for the bigger kids, but she gave me something that is pretty close—her old phone!

It doesn’t get any cell phone service, but it works just fine on our wifi! So now we can watch our own Netflix choices! Foster, Milton, Caleb and I were watching Netflix for a while, and then some of our AG friends came to see what we were doing.

Sometimes, human fingers, even if they’re doll sized ones, help, so Shiloh, Adelaide and Mercedes helped us with the apps.

We ended up deciding to listen to some music instead because we all couldn’t see the screen at the same time. We listened to it for a whole hour! I think I like the phone almost better than the idea of a TV! What do you think?
Talk to you next week!

Spring is getting closer! I’ve been looking through a catalog that Mom bought at work. It’s called the Whole Seed catalog. We like going through catalogs.  It’s kind of a harmless wishful thinking! I love all the pictures of the vegetables. Mom likes growing heirloom vegetables. We have a whole bookmark folder of various places to get them. We usually end up getting them at our local garden store though. Maybe someday we will be able to order them from the internet.

Today we’re going to talk about my friend, Milton. Milton was the third Build-a-Bear that came into our family. He is one of my best friends. He likes reading the most out of all of us. He especially enjoys some of Mom’s science books. He also likes to help. He lifts things for some of the tinies that live here. He’s also very patient with some critters around here who don’t have a lot of patience themselves- like Oliver!

Mom is on vacation this week. We haven’t done anything really interesting yet. Mom is in charge of Graham this week while her sister is at work. We did spend some time today cooking food for the rest of the week. This is ‘spanish rice’. I’m not sure why it’s called that, but Mom loved it as a little girl. So when her parents are gone on vacation, she always makes it. (It’s got a lot of calories, so they won’t eat it!) There’s enough to eat all week!
I hope you’re all having a good week! Talk to you next Friday

Mom and I are doing pretty good about this blogging thing. Working ahead helps a lot!
Today I’m going to talk about things that make me happy. What makes you happy? My family and friends make me the most happy! I’m glad I have such great friends—and that my siblings aren’t so bad either! I have Milton, Robinson, Foster, and Caleb to keep me company. We spend a lot of time together in the car when Mom works.

I also love books, ice cream, and bright sunny days. I like tulips and blankets. I also like the color blue! I like going for car rides with Mom. I like pictures of dogs on Mom’s Instagram! Are there any internet things that you like? I spend a lot of time online with Mom.
Hope you all are having 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!

May 17th, 2014

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!

May 4th, 2014

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!

April 10th, 2014

A few days ago, there was a fire at our house. Mom was at work, and her mom, dad, and the dog got out fine. But it was mostly in our room, so all our things and a lot of our friends are gone. Milton, Caleb and I were in Mom's car, and four of the AG girls and the BJD kids were downstairs, so they were saved. Mom says that she is going to replace most of our friends as time goes on, since we've decided that it's their spirit that lives on. Mom, Oliver, and the rest of us are in a hotel room until they clean up the house.

We will still post though. It just might take a little bit before we have something to post about. Talk to you all later!

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!

February 22nd, 2014

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!

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!

May 27th, 2012

Sigh. When Mom has tiring days at work, she never feels like helping me type. Things have been pretty quiet here though, so I guess I don’t have much to report.

Wren’s friend showed up. His name is Raven, and he is itty bitty.

He’s kind of cute, I think, but he’s really high strung! He’s always bouncing around and doing things. He’s so high maintenance that Mom invited another doll home to help keep track of him.

Meet Lark, Wren and Raven’s nanny/governess/au pair. Mom is letting her have some time off before they talk about what Lark’s going to do.  I think she’s going to have her hands full taking care of Raven, but what do I know! Mom says that they both need to go to school, but she doesn’t know of any place that would accept such tiny pupils!

After Mom took some photos off the camera and put them on the computer, we remembered that we forgot to tell you one big thing that happened. Mom took Milton, Caleb, and I INSIDE BUILD-A-BEAR! BAB was holding a 100 Million Friends Made event, and if you brought your BAB friend in, you got a free t-shirt. Mom carried us in a bag inside the mall. Milton and Caleb got to come out of the bag—Milton being a BAB, and Caleb was actually wearing BAB clothes. I was a bit miffed that she didn’t let me out of the bag, but then she reminded me that I am going to go on a HUGE outing in June! (Right, Buttons?!)

Mom says that it is getting near our bedtime, so I’m going to sign off here. I hope you all are having a good day!

April 3rd, 2012

Mom has been taking my friends and I to work lately. We sit in her car and wait for her lunch break. It’s been so nice! We get outside and get to see all sorts of interesting things.

Caleb and Wren get to go inside the building, while Milton and I wait in the car. During her break, sometimes we drive behind her building and look at the pond.

The pond itself isn’t very pretty—it’s a retention pond that doesn’t get cleaned out. But sometimes, there are birds there.

Including ducks, which are some of Mom’s favorite birds! This is a mallard (Anas platyrhynchos).
Does anyone else get to go on drives? I know Sullivan and Hammie get to go on all sorts of walks. Mom takes me for a walk sometimes in her backpack—maybe now since the weather is so nice, I can convince her to go!

March 30th, 2012

Mom, Milton, Foster, Caleb and I went to the mall a few days ago. While we waited in the car, Mom bought us something that she had seen in the Build-a-Bear flyer that we got in the mail.

I am the proud owner of a ‘pawpad!’ My mom loves electronics—and really wishes she could afford an ipad. But this is much more in our price range!
It’s kind of hard to write on, but Mom says that it is the thought that counts!
She also bought me a Build-a-Bear ‘pawtrack,’ sort of a BAB MP3 player. She says I look moody when I’m listening to it!

It plays some Build-a-Bear music—probably like 20 seconds a piece. It’s pretty cute!

It is REALLY loud when you hit one of the buttons though, so I don’t think I’ll be using it too much—at least when Mom’s around! (Mom’s not a big fan of loud noises, unless it’s one of her favorite bands!)
Hope you all are having a great day!
