When Dova stuck this apple in her mouth while we were apple picking, it immediately reminded me of the pig roast we attended for my cousin's wedding.An uncanny resemblance, eh? OK, in real life, she's must cuter and tastier than a roasted pig.She managed to eat two whole apples while we were there...

My mom used to be a switchboard operator...and all those buttons on the newer switchboards were a blessing when they came out....before that there used to be hundreds of "cords" that one would connect incoming calls to phone lines....and they would cross and get all tangled.....I have a photo of that somewhere and will have to post it.

While Dova was busy playing fairies with her cousin, Adam took to playing with his 11-month old baby cousin in June. I would think that Dova, being a girl and always playing with dolls, would love a chance to play with a real baby...

Last year, we painfully endured Dova’s soccer season and vowed never to do it again.  Of course we wanted it to be her decision, so in the spring we asked her if she wanted to play again.  Thankfully, she said no.  Even as she watched her brother play through the spring season, she had no inte...
