11/02/09 - Hiroshige's " Snow Falling on a Village" never looked cuter with Hello Kitty in it...although I think he may not see the humor, then again he was one to walk off the beaten path so who knows! Again, as per my B-day wish, I chose the artist, they chose their favorite Japanese character from all time...Halloween had Morgan all excited this year, she was a cheetah and looked very cute in her costume ! She definitely had no problem keeping up with her brothers as we made the rounds, and when they wanted to stop, she kept asking to go to other houses and down more streets !! Tonight was cute at dinner, when the servers brought me my cake Morgan was trying to distract me so I wouldn't see them coming and she was to funny... I could see the candles in the windows reflection...but I'll never tell :) Morgan got me a nice sweatshirt and made me such an amazing card...this girl has got such talent. Morgan, you are such an amazing and beautiful little girl...thank you for making tonight such a great night and thank you for showing me the power a simple hug and kiss can have on an idividual... you always make me smile. Love, Papa.

11/09/09 - My little princess...she so has to keep pace with her brothers ( and usually passes them ! ),especially this weekend cleaning the yard. I told her she could get some small branches and keep Brego company by throwing the ball for her...yeah right ! she wanted none of that and grabbed a rake, and quickly went to task scooping leaves and tossing them, best as she could, over the 6ft side fence. Morgan kept right up with us all day and never stopped until we did. It's funny though, earlier in the day I took her to get her bi-weekly manicure/pedicure and of course the hard work messed that all up, her thoughts on that " Oh well Papa, I didn't like the color anyways"... hahaha!! That night though she was my little cuddle bug and was out like a light in my arms by 7PM... back to princess mode :)

11/16/09 - well as I have mentioned it's been grades and grading this past week... and my little princess is again at the top of her game. I had a parent teacher conference and it was glowing...would I have expected less ??..hahaha!! Morgan is such a huge help with my grading and tests..no she isn't doing the grading for me ! BUT she begs me to take the tests that I write for my High School students...seriously, when we go to Staples and she is stapling my copies she asks to take them ! This weeks bags for Morgan were a little bittersweet, long story, but basically a book that I bought, and thought I "purged" the second copy a while ago, she had found...( It was a gift that I purchased 2 of as the 1st one , this copy, was in to rough of shape ). When she found it, she asked me to read it and she fell in love with it...and I have read it a dozen times in less than a week !! So she asked if I could do a drwaing from it and she picked one out.... how could ever say no to her happiness, ever, so.....Chip-n-Dale, painting Donald Ducks house....
