These pics are of Emma and Freya sitting in a chair (I assembled and stained myself!) in our backyard. Freya is 10 months younger than Emma and is a doll. Emma likes her (and her toy) too.
Here is my partner (Freya's mom) in drinking cocktails at Plonk, crime. Sarah is the best.
This is a CUTE picture of our neighbors and friends. Who left us for Cali-parts unknown (actually San Diego). But, now they are back and are having a baby! Actually, Danielle was *probably* prego in this picture.... :-)
This is Danielle's hubby, Tuli (see previous picture). He is Emma's friend. Sometimes when Emma and I were out and about this summer for our early morning walks (very early, ~6:30 am), Tuli would come out and join us. I'd give him coffee. He'd do some Emma entertaining. It was a good trade.
Apparently inspired by our Arts & Crafts Day back in August in NH, it seems Linda went ALL out to outfit Emma with the most superior and fun playdough box ever for her birthday.
I'm ecstatic because not only does she like it, it gives another in-house activity as the weather begins to turn cold. Not to mention that today it is wet and rainy, and snowing. Yesterday it was 80. 
Expert cutter.
The "smock" is a baking apron from Debbie and Katie. Am I wrong, or was that mine as a kid? I have images in my head of me decorating Xmas cookies in it circa 1981....She now runs and gets it off the hook to indicate her desires to play with dough.
