Buckets and Birdies
Co-Pilots for Life: Greta and Mary Katharine

Greta met another Puma at Jennie's wedding.....Mrs. Amy Burkhart, dog owner extraordinaire. Amy is going to be hatching her own offspring in a few months and we couldn't be happier for her! (Notice Greta's outfit? Yep, Daddy dressed her. Lots of patterns and not much matching.)

Greta survived her first large family event: Auntie Jennie's wedding. Greta was a trooper---no crying, a fair amount of sleeping, and lots of laughing. I didn't take many pictures, so hopefully Jennie was able to capture a few-----

Jennie looked absolutely beautiful. Greta was VERY interested in her flowers and birdcage. Sadly, neither were eatable.

Eleanor (Dave's cousin's daughter) and Greta having a facial showdown. (Notice Greta's gingerbread man, LaVernius, suffering during this heated bout.)

Today, Greta and I ventured to the north to visit the newest addition to the Rollman family. Piper Rollman is a delicious example of a beautiful baby. Born three weeks premature, Piper is quite the baby hobbit-unicorn-sprite. She almost weighs 6 lbs, so holding her is basically like holding 1/3 of a Greta. She is incredibly small and perfect. Greta brought her A-game to the table and cried when Piper's dad picked her up. Apparently she isn't ready for a baby sibling and/or she is approaching the "stranger anxiety" portion of her development. Egh.

Team Buzz

Dana's BFF, Katie, is experiencing a family emergency. Her step-dad, Buzz Lightyear, is going to have colon surgery on Wednesday to remove a cancerous mass. We want to rally around him and show him our love. Greta does too-----

We had some family pictures taken from a local photographer, Nicole. Here is a sneak peek of the session---Unfortunately, Greta didn't smile much. This is Greta's version of a stink eye. I'm not sure Wilhelmina Models will be calling us anytime soon.
