A New Home for Cate

The last couple times we went to Costco, Cate HAD to play in this playhouse. Well, we couldn't bring Cate to Costco every day to play in their house, so as they say, we brought the mountain to Mohammed. Is that what they say? Perhaps we have it backwards.

Anyway, it's really cool, and Cate loves playing in and on it.

It even has a window planter for real flower pots!!!

Doesn't it look like Cate is in an old-time schoolhouse in this picture???

Here is a picture of Cate stretching, just like Mommy. Really, that is what she is doing. Maggie and Cate do their stretching exercises after Maggie works out, and now Cate does it on her own, even if Maggie isn't stretching with her.

Happy New Year!

It's been a while since I posted anything on/in Cate's blog.

Cate and I are at home playing with Daisy today. Maggie is getting her hair spruced up. Maggie has a big race tomorrow and wants to look especially sharp crossing the finish line. She knows that her husband will be snapping away on his camera.

So here we are, Cate, Daisy and Dad, playing in the backyard today. It is really awesome how wonderfully Daisy plays with Cate. Dogs (boxers in particular) really have a gentle streak in them around babies and small children. Rarely does Daisy knock Cate over anymore.

Cate plays catch with Daisy all the time, and as she is growing up, she is becoming more attached, and more affectionate with Daisy. It is really sweet. I'll have my camera on me one of these times that Cate walks up to Daisy and wraps her arms around her with a big hug.
