Meet our new family member...

I've known LolliDolli for a long time. Like since I was a baby. We have a lot in common, we both have blue eyes, a beautiful smile and a zest for adventure. Growing up we did many things together that I'm sure only my mother could really describe!

As I grew older I knew that LolliDolli and I would part ways and we both were okay with that. I moved out and went to college, she stayed living with my parents. I married Pete and am happy with how things are! To be quite honest, I'd forgotten about my dear old friend. LolliDolli must have been heard from my parents about how Pete and I are doing, and she moved out here!

She arrived with out any notice and moved in. At least she brought gifts! She had a quilt along with her that my marvelous mother made, and some books, the ones previously noted in the post "Package for Baby".

She's been making herself at home, not really helping out with the chores, but at least she doesn't eat that much... And, thankfully, she's pretty quiet when she's by herself. Although, get her in a group and she just rattles away! Talk about having something to say!

When my friend Sarah from Juneau came to visit, not only did Pete and I have an absolute blast hanging out with Sarah, but LolliDolli met someone new. We're still getting to know him and trying to guess what sort of fellow he'll be. And now we welcome Malcom into our family as well. Here is his latest stylish picture. I think that he'll be a fun addition to our family.
