This does not bode well with her penchant for sticking her tongue on things, as you can see.

Maecy and her beloved elephant(s)

Like Piper's monkey, Maecy is hooked on the elephant. We bought three for instances when one or the other couldn't be found; many times Maecy has two or all three in tow.

Thanksgiving

We had a houseful for Thanksgiving: Jacob & Erica (James' brother and his girlfriend), Julie (James's sister), Edi & Brian (my mom and her boyfriend), Tejon (my brother), Chessye (Brian's daughter), Jeanne (one of my best firends) and James, me and the kids. I think we all ate too much and had fun. If not, wisely no one told me otherwise!
