Hello everyone! How are you? I’m okay. Mom got a new camera lens for her Christmas present! It lets her camera do some very fancy things!

Last week was a supermoon. The other lens does not like night photography very much. (Mom thinks it would work if she had a tripod.) This lens doesn’t get a lot of detail, but it’s pretty good!

She also took a picture of my friends and I in front of the Christmas tree. The sparkly stuff in the background is another thing that the new camera lens creates.

Milton and Foster got their turn too.

Next week, I will show you some pictures Mom took of the Christmas tree. I hope you all have a great week!

Hello, everyone! How are you? I’m okay. It’s been pretty quiet around here. The most interesting thing that has happened this week is that Mom bought some rement from her retail job. (Mom loves tiny things!) These new sets are Rilakkuma themed. He is a teddy bear!

There are eight different sets. Mom bought two. She wants to buy more, but she has to wait for them to come back in.

Do any of you collect tiny things? We aren’t too picky around here—Mom has lots of tiny things! Talk to you next week!

Good afternoon, everybody! How are you? I’m okay. On Wednesday (the day that we are writing this) Mom went out to supper with her mom for Grandma’s birthday. She says she ate way too much food and is ready for a nap. But she works Thursday night at the bookstore, so we have to write our entry tonight!
For you of my readers who live in the US, did any of you see the eclipse? Mom’s work let her out for ten minutes when it was happening. She mostly just saw clouds.

She told me that she did see it for brief second when she looked up to find it, but when she put her eclipse glasses on to see it again, the clouds had moved. I wish she could’ve gotten a better picture!
I hope you all have a great week! I’ll talk to you later!

Hello everyone! How are things? I am okay. Mom, Oliver, Graham, and I went for a walk today! We walked down the road on a walking path. Graham liked it a lot, but Oliver got too hot.
Graham likes these walks. He just seems to like to watch.

I get to sit in the bottom of the stroller. Mom said I didn’t look very happy in this picture, but I told her that I was perfectly fine! I could see all sorts of things! Mom stopped to take pictures of wildflowers.

Do any of you go for walks? I was really excited when Mom said I could go with!
Talk to you next week!

July 28th, 2017

Hello everyone! How are you? Things have been pretty quiet around here. The weather has been all right, so we have spent some time outside on the porch.

Oliver, the dog, really likes sitting outside on the porch. He likes to look around and guard his territory.

I like to sit on the porch and watch the birds. Sometimes I see blue jays. They’re one of my favorite birds. They are very smart. Do you like any birds? We get all sorts of birds around our house. Mom’s parents really like feeding the birds, so it encourages them to come and eat!

Mom bought me a new shirt. The old BAB one got too old looking for her tastes! You really can’t tell, but this one has dinosaurs on it!
I hope you’re all having a great day! Talk to you later!

Mom and I spent the afternoon and evening after she got done with work bringing her sister and nephew home. We are very tired, and Mom still has to go to work in the morning.

On Facebook, Mom noticed that one of our favorite dollhouse/miniature websites had all sorts of tiny glass animals! So Mom picked out some and ordered them.
Blogo seems to only let us share one of them. I will share more next week! I have to convince Mom to go to bed earlier so she can stay awake when we need to post!
This one is a pink flamingo. Mom and I decided it is more of a mauve flamingo.

July 14th, 2017

Mom says that she is too tired and cranky to go downstairs to get the computer and post this via our usual blogging platform. I did a little googling, and found an app called Blogo. I hope this turns out to be a good app for the ipad. (It doesn't have spell check though?!)

Mom took this picture last night. Isn't kind of foreboding? It's actaully just the sun setting behind some clouds. I like clouds. Have any of you flown through clouds? It is definitely one of my wishes! I wonder if you could touch a cloud? Obviously, you probably would need a space suit or something or you would not be able to breathe! What do you think?

July 7th, 2017

Hallo! How is everybody? I had a pretty quiet week! I thought I would share some more pictures from the zoo.

This is a screech owl. It turns out that there are a lot of different kinds of screech owls. I like looking up Wikipedia articles on the things I post, and it turns out that there’s over twenty different kinds! Mom said she didn’t know if he or she was angry that she took the picture or just surprised.

These are two giant Flemish rabbits. Mom thought that maybe some times you could pet them. (There weren’t any employees in the children’s zoo area when they were there.) Mom and Grandma have decided that they need to bring Graham to the zoo at the end of the road so he can pet animals!
It’s time to work on Mom’s daily stuff, so I have to stop here. I hope you’re all having a great day!

Mom and Caleb went to a park in Oshkosh for one of Mom’s work things. It had a little zoo!

Mom’s sister works for the same company, so they wandered around together! It was sort of raining, but not too bad. I think some of the animals didn’t like the rain.

Look at this fine fellow. He talked to the little kids that were in the park. They gobbled right back at him.

Mom’s brother-in-law brought Graham. (He had to pick Sam up anyways!) He didn’t really seem to be interested in the animals, just walking around and playing in the mud!

Mom was hoping for a petting zoo, but there wasn’t one. The corn feeding dispensers were empty near the animals too.
We love animals, so this was kind of fun. Mom even got paid to hang out! She says that she’ll take the rest of us someday! I would like to look at the lake.
Have any of you been to a zoo? I think I would like to go!

June 9th, 2017

Hello everyone! How are you? Things here are all right. At Mom’s retail job, they recently started carrying a brand of toys called ‘World’s Smallest.’ They had a yo-you and the toy that Mom bought the AG girls, my plush friends, and I. It’s called a Perplexus.

Mom says that she doesn’t have enough patience to solve it, but between all of us, someone here will!
Adelaide said she’s going to try. I think her fingers will help!

Do any of you have toys that are your size?
Talk to you all next week!

May 19th, 2017

It’s been a pretty quiet week around here. But the apple trees in the front yard have been blossoming!

Mom also bought some plants for her miniature garden this week, so we’ll have some pictures of that too soon!
We watched the nephew this week. Mom’s mom—had an appointment, so we were left with baby-sitting duty! He’s almost 17 months old now, so I guess it’s more of a toddler sitting. We went to see his mom for lunch. We were early, so we all went for a walk. (I stayed in the bottom of the stroller!)

Mom says that she really can’t go places that will allow Oliver without him, so Oliver came with too.

He was a very happy dog! There were plenty of things to smell. He got to bark at lots of people too.

This is a view of the Fox River. The drawbridge was up for a bit while we were walking, so Mom took a picture.
Mom has to go to work in the morning, so she says that it is time to go to bed. (We write this earlier in the week!) Sometimes, she’s not any fun! But alas—it’s part of having a Mom!

May 12th, 2017

Mom invited another American Girl doll home to live with us. Her name is Zola Yang. She says that she would like to be called Zoe. She likes taking pictures and making videos! She has a fancy camera and camcorder that she let us play with.

She is Imogen’s cousin. I do think they look alike!

Don’t you like Imogen’s new hat? I think it looks very dapper!

Since it seems important to Mom, here is Zoe, the newest AG friend, and Adelaide, who has been here the longest!
Zoe says that she is going to show us how to make a stop motion movie! We probably won’t finish it for next week, but we will keep you updated!
Hope you’re all having a great week!

April 28th, 2017

Last Saturday, Mom and one of her friends went to the Bay Area Porcelain Doll Show. It was more of a meetup for the people of the club, but it was still fun. Mom took Ash, Adelaide, Wren, Raven, and Lark. (Molly went with, but she had to stay in the car with us because Mom couldn’t hold all of them.) Mom bought a new dress for Wren.

Lots of people asked about Ash. They did all mention that he’s a bit short, which hurt his feelings a bit!
Mom buys the crochet dresses from the same lady year after year. This time, she got Wren a dress in a darker purple.

It is nice because she remembers Mom and the BJD family. She also had tiny dolls—like made of clay or something like that. When they came dressed, they were out of Mom’s price range, but it turned out that there was a very tiny teddy bear that wasn’t—but she’d already bought the dress. Oh well. There’s always next year!
Are there any gatherings like this in your area? I think it would be grand to go to more things like this. (Mom doesn’t always agree with me on that!) Talk to you next week!

April 7th, 2017

Good afternoon, everybody! Mom is helping me write on Thursday because she has to work on Friday night. She had to work all day today and then we drove her sister and her nephew home. We got home about twenty minutes ago, so it’s been a long day.
Spring has decided to stay in Wisconsin. Last week the weather forecasters threatened snow, but this week we’ve had temperatures around 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit. Thursday was especially pretty, although it was kind of windy.

Mom also bought some more tiny things. Wren, one of our BJD friends, has decided that she wants to learn how to paint. So Mom bought her some canvases and an easel.

Do you have any ideas of what she should paint? I’ll show you what she makes if she will let us! Talk to you later!

March 24th, 2017

Spring has finally arrived here in Wisconsin. It really hasn’t been very warm, but it has been sunny and the plants have been waking up. (Although after Mom typed that for me, we looked up the weather for the upcoming week, and it’s supposed to be gray and rainy all week. Sigh.)

Mom’s parents are back home, so we all have to go back upstairs. Mom took Adelaide, Moira, Imogen and I to work for a few days this week. We sat in the car while she did the work, but it was a nice change of pace!
I’ve been watching Mom work on her genealogy for most of the day. She is currently working on some families that lived in Virginia and West Virginia in the 1800s. They lived in the same area as the Hatfields and the McCoys! They also lived in the same area as Davy Crockett’s family! (Technically, Mom is slightly related to Davy Crockett through these people!)
We have to go to bed soon. We’re writing this a few days before it posts so Mom doesn’t forget. But it is almost time for bed. I’m still pretty awake, but Mom has to sleep, so we all do!

March 17th, 2017

Hallo iedereen! Hoe gaat het? Everything’s all right, for the most part around here. Mom’s parents are on their vacation this week, so it’s just Mom, Oliver, and the rest of us. It’s nice and quiet, and we all get to be downstairs. It’s a nice change of scenery for most of our hug. They usually have to stay upstairs, so being downstairs is something different!
It is St Patrick’s Day here in the US. It’s more of an excuse to party then anything religious for most of the people of Wisconsin. We live near the town of New London, which changes it’s name to New Dublin for the week. Mom has never went to the festival, but maybe some day. She is a tiny bit Irish, so I think she should go!

I hope you all have a great day! Talk to you later!
