Sorry it's been so long. What's new? hmmm....Gracie loves: painting, Romeo the fat cat, telling me "Get away from me!" and her friends (although you will see, one of them didn't love her very much one day. Or was it a LOVE bite?) She's becoming more and more imaginative and hilarious. I always mean to write down the funny stuff she says but I'm a slacker...
Grandma and her cat moved out a few weeks ago. I decided to weigh Romeo cuz he seemed to have put on quite a bit of winter weight. Yup! 4 extra pounds! I think he was eating half the other cat's food so now he's feeling starved! Here's some photos.
He thinks he can still fit on that thing.
That's his favorite toy that he plays fetch with. I think he misses Grandma's cat "Pretty Boy" (what's w/the queery cat names in our house?) because since they left, he'll carry that thing around with him and meow and stand over it like it's his hunting trophy.
Just to show off his chub and how he likes to sit.
Some lovely painting pictures for your enjoyment
She was on her way to audition for the Blue Man Group.
She was trying to paint a kitty nose and whiskers on her face.

Ayden came over to play one night. I like Gracie's look in this picture. She thinks she's in heaven. Click on the picture to enlarge!
I carved what she drew, it was an original.
She got a lot of "aren't you a cute little guy" and "there ya go buddy". What, a girl can't be a monkey?
So proud of her masterpiece
She threw them away, didn't like the waxy taste.
Rocko the cat..."gimmie candy!"

We took Gracie to see Santa this year. She ran right up to him and hopped on his lap. She wouldn't say much to him but it was a good experience. She's still telling people, "I'm not afraid of Santa." 
Still holding Barney!
Her cousin Trinity came over one day and pulled out nearly all the stuffed animals and blankets. Thanks a lot kiddo!
Art time!
Big girl panties! She potty trained very well. The trouble is now, it's like having an infant again cuz she's up at least twice every nite crying "I need have to go potty, I need have to go potty!"
If for some reason you didn't get our Christmas (New Years) card, this is what it looked like.
