A new home...

Paloma has found a new home for herself.

"Hey Elephant! Do you like the new place?"

Honestly, she just climbed right in and made herself at home!

Note the book she is reading: Little House on a Small Planet.  

(It's Semilla's little house. We were having trouble getting to Semilla to sleep all night and it was driving us crazy, so we dusted off her old crate. She loves it! In fact, both of the girls like to climb in there and nap.)

A Visit to Taos

Hello from Taos, Paloma and I (Auntie Cathy) decided to usurp this blog and give you an update! Tonight Ayesha and Howard are celebrating their Australia Wedding Anniversary. They have gone out to dinner and look very spiffy!
Paloma, who is working to become a great communicator, spent some time talking to Grandpoppy Jim. Paloma is telling him all about the trip to Taos including the big mountains they saw. You can see Grandpoppy is most impressed by this story.

Also Paloma talked to Grandmommy Claire. This was a long talk punctuated with moments of deep reflection (as seen in the picture below). Grandmommy Claire seemed to understand the depth and breadth of the conversation and didn't interrupt much.

Lastly Paloma had a visit with Auntie Cathy who promised Paloma that these conversations would be documented for posterity's sake. Satisfied that Cathy would, indeed as promised, note these meaningful affairs, Paloma decided a nap was in order.

The nap was an extraordinary one which took place in a Tupperware container with several blankets. Obviously life is good.
