Nana Jan posed me on this rock at the party after my cousin Matthew's christening. If you look closely you can see the bandaid on my right knee covering my boo-boo. Other than that, I think I look relatively unscathed, if I do say so myself.

Papa took this picture just as I was trying to explain how big the wolves are to someone my size. I had my arms outstretched and still couldn't measure up to them. I wish he'd let me compose myself before he released the shutter, sometimes. Daddy had a good grip on me so I couldn't get too close to the wolves.

Papa was trying to make me smile so he could take my picture. Mommy got the message. Daddy was in the background reading about the wolves we were visiting at Wolf Hollow in Ipswich, Massachusetts. It was breezy there and my hair just wouldn't stay still. Come to think of it, neither did I.

Mommy's holding Preston and Naomi's holding me while Daddy takes our picture with Naomi's camera. This was one of the entire eight seconds Preston and I sat still while they visited us from their home in Florida. Mommy says she and Naomi have been friends since the past century. How old are they, anyway?

Mommy's friend Naomi was visiting with her son Preston and we went to visit Daddy's fire station. Preston and I got to sit on Engine Number 4 while Naomi took our picture. Luckily they didn't have an alarm or the siren would have deafened us!

Nana Jan took this picture of Noah, me, and Chloe enjoying pizza at a concert on the waterfront during Newburyport's Yankee Homecoming. Noah and Chloe are Mommy's friends Carla and Mike's kids. Guess what? They live on an island! Yup. Martha's Vineyard. I love the beach, but I don't think I'm old enough to swim that far yet!

Kim snapped this shot of me recovering from the contusions and abrasions to my exterior dextera patellar area after the horrendous crash shown in the last posting. You can see the bandaging required to aid my recuperation while elevating my traumatized limb. I prefer to simply refer to it as my "boo-boo." Maeve was totally without injury as so often happens in these accidents. We, the elders, suffer the most from the consequences of young and reckless drivers taking wild chances because of their lack of fear and feelings of invincibility. I should make a complete recovery, thanks to Kim's quick triage action and subsequent care.

This photo was taken by Kim just prior to the crash! I kept telling Maeve to keep both hands on the wheel, but would she listen? Oh no. Always the thrill seeker, laughing, taking her hands off the wheel, driving too fast. What could I do? The controls on my side of the car were disabled. I braced myself for the impact. Far behind us, Abby looks on helplessly. Stay tuned!

The three amigos, Lucas, Gracie and Maeve, swinging happily in Kim's play yard. Look closely in the background behind Lucas and you'll see Abby wishing she could join us on the swings. Silly puppy! She has too many legs for these swings! Photo by Kim.

Here is my other playmate at Kim's, Lucas. When he was the "new kid on the block" we had a rocky start, but we're good friends now. He's like a younger brother to me (by only a few months) and we both watch over Maeve. Kim snapped our picture in the Animal Play Room.

Maeve and I just clowning around for Kim, our daycare provider, so she can get a picture of us. I got the boo-boo on my knee from extra-curricular activities. I love the colorful bandaids. Maeve and I have become really good friends during our time together at Kim's. We have lots of fun here.

Mommy's getting ready to turn me loose at the Relay for Life walk in Landry Stadium, Amesbury, for the American Cancer Society. She tells me Nana Jan and the Salisbury Garden Club participate and we do this to honor our relatives, friends and neighbors who have been, or presently are affected by this terrible illness.

A birthday kiss for Papa. We were celebrating Papa's birthday and the last cookout of the camping season all at the same time. I can't be positive, but this may have increased the size of my slice of his birthday cake. Photo by Grandma Diane.

"I don't know. I have no rocks. Where these came from or how they got here is a mystery to me, too. Maybe I'll just pick them up and put them in this handy bucket. If that's okay with you, of course, Mommy." Photo by Grandma Diane.

Whee! This adult relaxation device turns out to be a fun, fast moving, sideways swing, if you put your mind to it! Auntie Ann and Nana Jan had us all to a cookout at the campground and Grandma Diane snapped this shot of me somewhat enjoying myself.

Hee, hee. Mommy caught me trying to walk around in her shoes. She didn't say "No, no, Gracie." She told me to wait right there while she got her camera. I'm amazed. Guess if I look cute and let her take my picture I can get away with this sort of stuff. Keep this between you and me, okay?

Grammy Sue told me I'd look fetching if I put lipstick on. Do you think this is a good shade for me? I think it's called "Beurre de Peanut," or something like that. I love the way it tastes. Grammy took this picture, so I guess she likes it. By the way, you don't think I'm showing off a little too much shoulder, do you?

"Hot Potato, Hot Potato." Even when I'm out walking my dolly, if I hear the Wiggles tune Hot Potato, I just gotta dance! Don't know what it is, but, as they say, "When the spud moves you..." Photo by Mommy.

I know I'm still too young to go to school, but Mommy thought it would be a good idea if I got used to doing some homework. So, here I sit with my new crayons, my new calculator and my new coloring book. Between you and me, I did not write my name in the book. Someone who shall remain nameless, unless I'm subpoenaed by a Congressional committee, wrote it for me. I can tell you that Mommy took the picture, however. © TEKfoto - Click in Photo to Enlarge

Who, me? No, I only climbed up on Grammy Sue's bulkhead to smell the flowers, Mommy, not to pick them. Honest. Photo by Mommy.
