Driving

Amelia is ready to drive.

Pig Tails

We had been trying for months to get her to wear her hair in pig tails. Once the neighbor girl did it that was all it took.

Admiring her new look in the mirror.

Princesses

Amelia looks a lot like her mom in this pic. It reminds me of a teenage picture of Emma I have seen where she has an asymmetrical haircut.

Bounce-O-Line

Thanks to Auntie Lo for Amelia's new inflatable toy. She calls it her Bounce-O-Line

new pet

Amelia got a new pet this week and named it after Elmo's goldfish.

Big Spider

We have been watching a very large spider outside of our study this summer. She is a harmless garden spider. Last night a large locust got caught in the web. the locust was just a big as the spider

By the next morning the locust was gone and the spider was much much bigger.

Chinese Visitors

The posts may have been a little slow this month. I have been directing and teaching in a summer program for Chinese students at the law school. Emma has been teaching in the program also. Some of our students came over for dinner last night. Amelia had a ball. They were all very interested in her ... and Rufus.

Fun With Glassware

Amelia and I were playing with these plastic wine glasses the other day. In the end the joke was on me because she finally succeeded in breaking the "unbreakable" base off the stem of one glass.
