October 24th, 2009 Here’s a photo of Gabby’s morning tea party. Dollies were invited. Ponies were invited. Even cars were invited, at little brother Daniel’s insistence. I’m not sure the dog was invited. But he showed up anyway. Heck, they were serving crackers and cheese there. And it was all free. September 9th, 2009 There are only seven entries because the eighth child was acting as judge. She has her work cut out for her. June 24th, 2009 Well, we’ve sure been getting dirty lately! I think Daniel’s recent obsession with “worm hunting” might have something to do with it. “Worm hunting” consists of convincing an older brother or sister to dig alongside you in the woods or in Mama’s empty herb garden (Shame on me, I know!) until one uncovers a worm or two.

One would think they would require oxygen or throat lozenges at this point, but their July 1st, 2008 This morning: “Mama, do you want to play a card game?” “Not right now, sweetie.” After lunch: “Would you like to play cards with me now?” “Maybe when I’m done with these dishes and after I make a phone call.” Late afternoon: “Can you play cards now, Mama?” “Okay.” The laundry sat and dinner waited while she dealt out the Dora Explorer playing cards.
