This is Bobbie - the baby doll. She didn't start out as Addy's, or as mine. She started out as my best friend Karen's. We grew up together and now we live very far apart - like 3000+ miles. She had this amazing baby doll that I coveted for years. She didn't really appreciate all that was Bobbie like I did. And so one day years later for my birthday I came home from work and Bobbie was waiting by my front door. What a sweet surprise. So, I have kept Bobbie all these years so that if by chance I had a little girl one day I could share her. Finally I felt like Addy was ready (big enough) to enjoy this very special baby doll. We got Bobbie some new clothes and now her name is Katie. She sleeps in a special bed Addy made for her right next to her bed.
Thanks Ren!! Love you and it makes me so happy to share your baby doll with my little girl!Addy went to a hula party a few weeks ago. She was all ready to go in her hula outfit.
And finally, this abomination. I am in this picture (second from left in middle row). I accept your pity. Thanks. The other night a friend and I were reliving some glory days and one thing led to another and this thing showed up on my computer. So, why not share the glory of my show choir days. I am not even a decent singer. Ms. Baker just feared my wrath if she separated me from my friends. I actually tried out to wear an outfit like that. Those are sequins peeps. Blue sequined suspenders and bow ties and cumber buns. Yup.
Middle school - good times. I spent a good portion of my time in show choir with Karen plotting ways to run away with these guys:
I am not sure why we weren't successful . . . one look at us in our show choir outfits and they wouldn't have stood a chance. Middle school. Good Times.
