Meeting Baby Sister "The Movie"

So what you all have been waiting for... captured on film... My first look at my new baby sister!

Are you my Momma?

Okay, fine... I guess you guys can see some photos of my new baby sister, Bria Nancy Matubrew! Momma and Poppa were gone for DAYS! Luckily Tu-Tu Kerri and Dave came to the rescue and played with me, and then Grandma and Grandpa showed up to play! So I guess this is what all the fuss was about. She's pretty cute!

Me an' Poppa Deer

So I got the horsey stamp on my hand, and then got to ride a Poppa Deer! Now I see the Poppa Deer and his friends in my neighborhood, but they never let me ride them!

Well, you all thought you were going to get photos of my new baby sister, but first I wanted to show you all the fun I had BEFORE she came along, last weekend.

Where's Maile?

Finally, we're all caught up. Just last week Grandma and Grandpa came up from their new home in Maryland to spend some time with me. I've been talking non-stop about the baby goats and baby ducks that Momma took me to see in May, so we decided to go again!

Poppa, birthday present?

Home again! I got a special treat at Poppa's work party. I just know that Poppa and Momma want to get me one of these cute puppies for my birthday, even though they keep telling me I'm getting a baby sister instead.

Memmins!!!!

We gathered to spread my Grandma Nanette's ashes in a special meadow on the slopes of Mt. Ranier. It was a beautiful day!

After a trip on MY PLANE, I got all dolled up for Tu-tu Hedder's special day!

Pop-pop saves the day!

So then I got a surprise visit by Pop-pop! Since Poppa has balance issues on children's razr scooters, and has to wear a "boo-boo boot" for the rest of the summer, Pop-pop arrived to drive us all home!

Cape Cod beach time!

Next on our whirlwind tour was Woods Hole, Mass. Momma thought the water was way too cold, but it was MY POOL, so I went in without her!

WHALES!!!

Well, its been a long long time since we've blogged! I've been a busy busy girl this summer! Our summer started with a splash in Miami. Here we are with Tu-Tu Tara and Baby Niels at the Miami Seaquarium, where I got to meet my first whale!
