Finley

 Meet Finley, our Christmas surprise! 

 What could be better than a puppy on Christmas morning?

Spinach Salad, Anyone?

Today Piper played house with her cousin, Abie.  Piper is the boss, and Abe is the husband.  

"OK, Abe, we're having spinach salad for dinner.  Here's some for you. [pause]  Mmmmmm.  This is so good."  Abe dutifully echoes, "Mmmmmm." 

Does Piper actually like spinach salad?  No, she won't touch it.  But I think she's decided that she'll like it someday.   

[I love this picture of Piper because this is how her hair ends up every day, no matter how much I spray and slick it.  It matches the unruly plastic hair of her doll, Cindy.]
