Fall

This morning my dad surprised us with the news that he was in town to boat shop with my brother. He stopped in for a few minutes-- just long enough for Savvy to go through her cycle of worship, familiarity and then dismissal. Basically-- like she treats us. :) It was time to get the lawn raked so Savvy hung around the front yard while I got the leaves gathered into one huge pile. Then the fun began. She buried herself, we buried her, then she leapt into the pile again and again while yelling "To infinity and beyond!" She also told me that her stuffed dog, Toto, was her granddaughter and that I shouldn't say any bad words or mean things in front of her. Then she told me Puppet was her granddaughter, too-- or maybe her brother. She cracks me up with the weird things she comes up with. After a walk over to the park by Cindy and Doreen's house we walked back and now the little bear is napping away upstairs thanks to some baby whispering by her mama. Good times...
