Falling Down

Bella had a rough night, gravity-wise.

In one grand exhibit of grace and poise, she fell face-first out of a chair onto the kitchen table, then onto the floor (again, face-first).

The shiner pictured below was about a half-hour after the incident. We'll post more as the healing begins.

Visiting St. Louis on the Way Home

We stopped at the Arch on the way back home from Lawrenceville.

Of course, the lines were way too long to go to the top, but the museum was pretty awesome.

And we got to ride a train!

Thanksgiving 2009

I spent lots of time with Gigi!

And I helped Mama make her special pudding cookies.

They were super-yummy!

Of course I was always the center of attention!
