Reflect

Saturday, December 31st, 2005

Hmm, apparently the year 2005 is about to be over. Papa tells me that many people take this time to reflect.
So I stood in front of a mirror and admired myself. Hey good lookin’… how’re you doin’? Papa rolled his eyes and told me that “reflection” meant thinking about how the year went and [...]

Drive!

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

I almost forgot to tell you that we had a white Christmas (2.15MB)! It snowed again on Christmas right after I opened my last present!
The snowfall was so pretty. But unlike my family, I know that some people don’t like the snow. Also, unlike my fellow U.S. citizens, I don’t ride around in a car [...]

Farm

Wednesday, December 28th, 2005

Old MacDonald had a farm… I know, I know, I know!
I also know that he isn’t the only one because I visited a farm yesterday (3.46MB). I saw sheep, donkeys, horses, turkeys, and even a peacock! But the highlight of my day was sitting on a tractor!
The animals didn’t sound exactly like do in books. [...]

Xmas!

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

Merry Christmas, everyone! Or should I say scary Christmas?
Have you heard about this guy called Santa Claws breaking and entering into houses in the middle of the night? Eyewitnesses claim that he leaves presents behind but I think otherwise.
Why else would he have a sack bulging with goodies? No doubt he uses his claws [...]

Mama!

Sunday, December 25th, 2005

Today is mama’s birthday! Happy birthday, mama!
Mama says that she wants to get 36 kisses (one for each year) from me today. I hope I don’t get chapped lips from all that kissing! But if she doesn’t get all 36 kisses, she will have to settle for the other gift I got for her.
Yesterday, papa [...]

Interview

Friday, December 23rd, 2005

Papa has been interviewing people as part of his dissertation. He uses a cool digital recorder to capture the interview and then processes it shortly after.
Because I know that I am a VIP, I insisted on being interviewed too. Here is the audio recording of the brief interview (53KB, audio only) and below is the [...]

Appendages

Thursday, December 22nd, 2005

I am learning that adults can be very strange creatures. Take this group photo for instance!
Mama and papa invited the del Valle family and Aunty Debbie and Uncle Ugur over for Christmas dinner. (It seemed like only the day before that we had a Christmas party at the Brush’s!)
Papa told me that the reason for [...]

Santa?

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

I think I met Santa yesterday, but I can’t be sure.
We visited the Brushes for a holiday meal and he left a present for me under a big Christmas tree. You watch this video (3.37MB) and tell me if that’s him!
