Dear Mom,
I wanted to send you a quick thank you for my Christmas present.  I loved it and think of you every time I get to play with it.   Mechelle also liked the calendar of baby pictures.  Honestly mom, do you HAVE to keep showing the one of me in the tutu?  It's soooo very embarrassing.  Anyway, I so have to make this quick as my new family keeps me pretty busy.  Why I've practically taken over the rearing of the children.  I'm sure my new Mom, Mechelle, wonders what she will do with all her new found spare time.  I constantly clean the crumbs off the children and help them in their education.  For instance if they do not clean up the little pieces of the various toys, art supplies, clothing, etc. I am forced to pick them up and "dispose" of them myself.  They also seem to have developed an interest in becoming doctors.  Not one to discourage young minds, I help them along.

Here I am getting an exam. 

Though I sometimes get a little concerned with the diagnosis.  My new Mom is great about keeping sharp things out of sight. 

Then there's dad's wrestling lessons.

I let him win, it's good for his self esteem.

Due to my important child rearing career responsibilities, naps are a little hap hazard and I have to take them when and where I can, but alas it means neglecting my own play time.

So as you can tell, it's not often that I get to sit around and do nothing, in fact it's so rare that it merits a picture.

It's a good home and I would not trade them for the world, after all they are proving quite easy to train.  Remember that whole "she won't be sleeping in the kids beds" thing.  Yeah, I had to laugh at that one too.  Oh well, gotta go, Mechelle is in the kitchen and she always needs my help with food preparation.  Honestly, I have no idea how she managed before I came along.

Love always, your little Lola
