I shall stop at nothing to get to the little house in the woods! I just know there are some new friends to be found there. I've seen them out in the forest strolling along!
There's a mama, a papa, and a baby!
And I think they are furry and beautiful!

Oh...and there they are now!

M is for Merry!

(From the book entitled "A Victorian Scrapbook")

M is for MERRY and also for MOVING! You may have noticed that I haven't been posting as often these past few weeks as before and it's because we've been in the MIDDLE of a huge MOVE to a new home in a new city! It's been a bit wild and crazy (uh, MERRY, as seen in the picture) but we'll soon be back to normal and I'll be posting regularly again!
