so my mom called when i was having a nap. that's ok. i'll send her an email later, when i'm done having fun.

dude. i'm having so much fun you wouldn't believe it. too busy, tell you about it later. hanging out with gram and grandad rules!
today i had a big adventure. me, gram and grandad met up with loads of people gram is related to. we walked around this tree place called an alreadyboredom. no that that's not right- arbouretum. it was way more fun than it sounds. after walking around and visiting with the trees we went to auntie shelia's house. i ran around her big yard with gem. gem is two just like me. we ran around and around. we chased the ball. i tried to get her to splash in the little pound but she wouldn't go in, even after i threw the ball in. what kind of retrieving dog is this? it was a super fun day.

it's been a super nice day. gram and i built a fort outside. it's cool. george and i have been hiding out inside having a tea party.
mom and dad just left. i gave them hugs and kisses and said good bye. they are going home and i get to stay with gram and grandad. awesome. the three of us are going to have loads of fun.

oh man i thought today was just going to be kind of ho hum since gram had to go to work but man it was wicked cool. grandad took me, auntie amy and mom for a drive in the car. we drove around and around, the road looked kind of familiar to me. i think i've been this way before. the car stopped and we all got out. we went to visit the old train station where thomas stops. thomas, thomas, thomas. i got to go visit with thomas the train. oh yes, it was very much fun, i must say.

just hanging out around the house, visiting with gram and grandad.

hey everyone. guess what today is.
it's my birthday. wayyyyhayyyy. i'm 2. i'm 2. i'm 2. whooo-hooo.
i opened presents. i got 2 balls, some railroad tracks, some books, a watch, iggle piggle in a boat, and a tea set- that's not gay, it's english.
later i hear there is going to be cake. mmmm cake.
oh yeah, my birthday was super fun. my friends from the neighborhood came over. we all sat around eating food and then there was cake. cake was good.

not much to report. it's just another long dull sunday around here. i'm hanging out at my gram and grandad's. grandad had to get up early today and go to work. spent time just having fun with gram. we played in the outside garden/patio place. i helped spray the plants and sweep the bricks. i rode my trikey around. it was a really nice day out.
i didn't want to take my nap. mom took me upstairs and practically sat on me until i fell asleep. i really was tired but i was too busy having fun for naps. when i woke up grandad was home but gram and mom were no where to be found. they came strolling in with bags of stuff. mom got me birthday treats. i got a little red chair, just my size. cool. i've been looking for a new chair.
so mom says i have to be a good boy and eat my dinner, have a bath and go to sleep without any trouble or else, birthday is canceled. oh man. i guess i better go be good somewhere.

both gram and grandad have to go to work today. that leaves me home with mom and dad all day. ugh. i'm going to be so bored. the most fun thing i have to look forward to today is a walk to the grocery store. i'll help dad with his work until then.

good day so far. i got to sleep with gram and grandad last night. we got up this morning and gram filled me full of breakfast, it was delicious. i gave gram some kisses good bye since she had to go off to work. i hung out touching stuff until mom came down stairs. i ran around the house doing things.
grandad told mom to get me ready to go outside. he invited me to go help him with the chores. cool. so i'm headed out the door on a fun time adventure with grandad.

back to work on the blog. mom says i can take over when i'm ready.

oh man, what day is it? thursday? i'm pretty sure it's thursday. i'm so confused. slept good enough i guess. i woke up in the night and found myself alone in bed. i gave a good cry and mom came in. she put me in the other bed and we curled up together. i didn't get up to start my day until 7.30am. aahhhhh a good sleep in for me. mom poked me awake and told me breakfast was ready. food food.
ate my breakfast and played with toys. mom said that when dad got home we would all be going on a trip. fuck man, i've been on enough trips lately. can't i just sit and play for awhile? so dad came home and i helped him load up the car. we all got in the car and drove away. we drove and drove. i sat and sat. sitting did not make me happy. i complained to mom and she told me if i didn't knock it off she would leave me at the next rest area. i guess mom has had enough of traveling too. she and i fought off and on for a few hours. finally dad pulled over and kicked us both out of the car. it was ok though since we were at the end of our trip. i looked out the window and there was grandad. whoo-hooo.
so i'm at gram and grandad's house. i've gotten loads of kisses. uncle tom and auntie amy both came down to visit. i got tickles and kisses from them too. today has turned out pretty ok. gram made me some yummy soup and i ate it all up with a piece of garlic bread. tasty.

i fell asleep and when i woke up i was back in england. what the hell? i sat in my airplane seat while mom gathered up all our bags. i wasn't so thrilled about getting off the plane. we had to go down some stairs. it was noisy and windy out and the stairs swayed side to side, it was kind of scary. mom put my harness on me and just dragged me down to the ground. we walked inside the airport and stood around in line- oh yes, we're back in england. we had our passports stamped and they let us back in the country no problem.
we walked through the doors and there was dad. DAD! it's my dad. i haven't seen him in forever. i was all dad dad dad dad dad dad dad. we all walked to the car and got in. dad drove us home.
ahhhhh home. look, all my toys. i scattered toys all over the room and played and played while mom unpacked. it's nice to be home. mom says it's 8.30 and time to think about bed. oh man. i just want to stay up and play.

i've got time for one last nap on dana bunny.
today dana bunny drove me and mom to the airport. there were some tears. mom doesn't want to leave, dana bunny doesn't want me to leave. i don't want to sit on a plane for 7hours. oh well. that's the way it goes.
mom and i went through the metal detectors, they detect metal. we didn't set them off. we found our gate. mom wanted to sit and wait but i wanted to walk around. so i made mom walk and walk while lugging all these bags. mom finally had enough and said that we were going to sit and eat. ok, fine. we found a diner in the airport. mom ordered me some cheerios and she got a chocolate shake. i ate all my cheerios and drank the left over milk- i used the straw. i love straws.
after eating it was time to walk around some more. walk walk walk. mom kept complaining because she had to carry all the bags. well if we don't walk i'm going to complain, so what's it going to be? we stopped outside a duty free shop. mom spotted a free baggage cart. so we stood there for awhile, i played with the wheels. after like 10min mom says- aaaarrrgh this cart be ours. finders keepers. so we comendeered a cart. mom stopped complaining and i got to walk around all i wanted.
around 8pm i started to get a little grumpy. it's bedtime already. mom said in a few minutes we could get on the plane. plane? airplane? we're going to fly. i thought we were just here to walk around. so damn, i guess i better get my pants changed and it's off on the plane i go. bye bye america.

mom says today is our last day in america. oh man. blankie and i are going to go hide. if mom can't find us, she can't make us leave. i'm sure dana bunny will feed me.
well i found the prefect hiding spot but it was already taken- by my mom.

another day in the car. we got up early and drove down to maryland. mom says it's time to say good bye to everyone down there. so bye bye uncle matt, auntie kathy and cousin ronnie. bye bye uncle rickie and mssmelissa. bye bye kitties hunter, amis and andy. bye bye dog. bye bye blog fans. bye bye g-dad. hooof. saying bye bye is hard. i'm going to take a break and go have some fun. mom says we are all going out to eat mexican tonight. whoo-hoo.

well today was just full of fun and adventure. i had a good sleep in until 7am. both mom and dana got up before me. mom started my breakfast so it was pretty much ready by the time i was done snoring. i ate my breakfast all up this morning. after food food i played.
uncle peep and pat got up. i got my tickles off peep. i helped pat get ready. she needed advice on how to blow dry her hair and i watched her put on makeup. she and i had a really nice chat while she got ready. i even got to help her organize her wallet. i think she really liked me because before she left this morning, she gave me her number. mom says i'm supposed to send her my blog address.
so uncle peep and pat went out for breakfast leaving me home alone with mom and dana. i ran around getting in trouble. i was busy not listening and touching things i'm not supposed to.
i ate my lunch. i've been eating leftovers for days and days. lunch today was some broiled talapia mixed in with eggplant parm, that translates into crap surprise. i told mom to shove it and she told me if i didn't open my mouth she would shove it- right up my nose. so i ate the crap surprise and it was actually pretty good.
mom said i had to take my nap, oh man. there is just so much trouble to cause, i don't have time for naps annoying woman. grrrrr. we sat on the bed and talked. mom said that if i took my nap, when i woke up not only would i be in a great mood but she and dana would take me out for a super fun time. ok fine. i'll take a stupid nap.
i got up and there was just enough time for mom to change my pants before she and dana bundled me into the car. we drove and drove down this twisty turny road. it was very pretty. we went up some super big hills- all you could see was trees and sky. finally the car stop and we all got out- at a house.
we went to visit- kids! dana and mom took me to hang out with zak and samm, we're related in some round about way apparently. zac and samm live in a really cool house- they have a whole room dedicated to toys! toys toys toys. there were so many toys, i wasn't sure what to play with first. the three of us had a blast playing together. we got along so well the grown ups all sat down in the lounge down the hall and left us to play by ourselves. i was pretty sad when mom said it was time to go. what a day.

i don't think today is going to be a very good day. dana made my breakfast this morning and it wasn't right. she made my mush with water instead of milk. it tasted gross. i only ate a little bit.
i should probably go back to bed before it gets any worse. i mean if breakfast doesn't go well, chances are the safest place to be today is back in bed.

well today was a happy sad day. we all got up early and dressed pretty fancy, what the heck is going on? me, mom and dana drove down the street and stopped at this place. we went inside and sat around. loads of people came in, many of whom i've seen before. there were lots of pictures scattered around the room and so many pretty flowers, i didn't know which ones to poke first. i noticed that most of the pictures were of GG. hi GG, i didn't see her hanging around at all. mom and i sat in the back. she told me that GG was in the pretty blue box up at the front, she said GG was off on a special trip. damn man. i get boring old cardboard boxes to play in.
so lots of people showed up for GG's big going away party. one of those priest guys showed up, he didn't sprinkle any holy water on me for once. i kept a close eye on him, just to make sure he didn't pull a squirty gun out. the priest guy said some things and that was that. we all got back into cars and followed this big black one down the road. lights were flashing and we entered the gates of heaven, for real. that's the name of the place we all ended up. GG's box got taken out of the big black car. everyone got out of their cars and stood around the box, except mom and me. she made me stay in the car to get my pants changed. mom said that it was now time to say goodbye to GG so i jumped around the car saying, "bye bye GG. bye bye GG."
that was the sad part of the day. after we were done at the gates of heaven everyone jumped back into their cars and we all went out to lunch. whoo-hoo. we ate at this italian place. i was a very good boy. i was a little too excited to eat so i just sat nicely and played with my toys and colored in my coloring book. mom says- how can italian food not make you happy.
after lunch most of the people showed up at GG's house. there was lots of activity. people were talking. things were being taken off shelves and wrapped up. my cousin soonan left with a whole desk. everyone was invited to take what they wanted. i got a stuffed penguin, his name is pete. him and toucs are best friends now. mom made me take a nap. when i woke up, pretty much everyone had left. oh man. so i'm going to hang out with dana causing trouble. there's a teapot i can see, i might go and touch that.

today's fun event was going to mr vito and cousin kris's house. they have a very nice house. what they also have are two dogs, not one but two. they are irish bred jack russell terriers(those are much friendlier than american bred ones i'm told) dogs and i had a blast chasing each other around the house and fighting over who got the ball.
mr vito showed me his upstairs toy stash. he has boy toys. i got to play with all kinds of trucks that flash and make sounds, very cool stuff. mr vito rummaged around in the closet and he gave me some treats from his work. i got two toy cars and a bear that all say- UPS, neato.
mom says that it's time for quiet time now, cousin kris said i could sit on the couch and watch cars, so i'm going to do that. first i'm going to see if i can steal the ball from the dogs.

here's me and uncle peep goofing off. he tickled me lots but i learned to fight back. i even jumped out once or twice and gave him a surprise tickle attack. the other picture is toucs in his rental car. toucs and i love the car, love it i say. mom promises she will track one down for us when we get home.

um, wow. i didn't really see that coming. i woke up this morning and everyone was looking sad. mom told me that GG died in the night. i wasn't sure what that ment so mom had to go into this long boring story, like she does. maybe that's what did GG in, she had to listen to one of my mom's stories. according to mom GG was old and sick and was ready to go on to her next adventure. in order to do that she had to die and that makes everyone kinda sad because we won't see her around any more. but we can't be too sad because GG is going to see all the people who she used to hang out with but died before her. GG gets to sit around in heaven drinking screwdrivers with her friends, cheating at cards and watching us run around down here on earth. i guess that doesn't sound so bad.
i'm just going to run around playing. mom says i have to do my best to be a good boy.

i'm busy busy. lots of stuff going on. i've had adventures. i've spent a week running around my uncle ricky's house. i met a load of my fans- hi blog readers. as many of you know my GG is not feeling so great which is why blog service has been spotty lately. mom says things will return to normal, eventually. i'll have some real updates soon.

oh man today has been super busy. it's american mother's day. american moms are supposed to get flowers, breakfast, and some kind of treat.
so g-dad and i took my mom down to the oxford fire house for a free breakfast. mom's eat free. what were they thinking? have they seen my mom eat french toast, i don't think they ended up making any money on the deal. there were loads of people at the fire house. i met a table full of my fans-hi fans. debbie and cy were there, nancy and peter too. and then susan and her daughter kat stopped by to say hi. wow. that's a lot of new people. while mom ate her breakfast nancy watched me play on the fire chief's buggy. it was awesome. buggy ruled. i was livid with mom when she said it was time to go.
after mom was done stuffing her face on free french toast and pancakes, g-dad took us to the park in town. what a park. there's a big patch of green grass, swings, slide, and a wooden train- and it's all right next to the water. i went up and down the slide, that was my favorite part. the train was cool and the swings were just all right. i'm all about slides now.
after running around the park a bit we all went back to the house and waited for dana to show up. she called and said she was coming back from NJ to visit us for the day. whoo-hooo.
when dana got to the house she and mom talked about what fun stuff we could do today. it was decided we should go to the zoo down in salsibury. so me, dana and mom got in the car and drove to the zoo. it's only a small zoo. i rode around in buggy while dana pushed. mom pointed out all the animals. the big stinky brown ones are called buffalo, i hear they have wings, these ones didn't seem to have any though. i saw parrots and some monkeys. llammas were there and some kind of big pink bird called a flaming mingo. oh and crock, he was only like 2 feet away. the best part of the whole zoo trip was when we were walking back to the car, a squirrel fell out of a tree and almost landed on our heads. he landed right near mom's feet with a loud splat before getting up and running off back into the woods. it was awesome.
so yeah i managed to cram all that into one day. mom says tomorrow we can go with dana back to NJ.

i'm touching stuff. i've been told not to touch it, but i'm going to touch it anyway. touch touch touch.

i want to go outside and play. i can see my ball out there, waiting for me. someone tell my mom to open the door

today i've been playing with the kitties and mr potato head. it's been fun. kittie andy says he wants to wear mr potato head's glasses, so as soon as i figure out how to get him to come down off his tower, he's going to wear those glasses. i don't know where kittie amis is hiding.

i got up this morning and i've been a good boy. mom made me a bowl full of my regular oatmeal. she bought some at the store yesterday. i had been eating some instant oatmeal crap. you just add hot water and then eat, i didn't really like it. i was eating weird flavors and it just tasted like chemicals. but today's bowl, much better.

today i was cheeky. or was it abnoxious. i was busy running around touching things and causing trouble. i played with the kitties and i played with the dog and i played with my toys. i was busy busy busy. i wouldn't listen to anything my mom said. i refused to eat my lunch and my dinner.
mom took me out for a walk this morning. it was kinda wet out and not a nice day. we just went up the street and saw the neighborhood. nothing really out of the ordanary.
when we got back to the house dana and g-dad were at the house. i said good morning to them. me, dana and mom all went to the grocery store. i helped dana buy stuff and mom went around putting things in her own basket. she bought a bunch of stuff to make into food for me. blah.
i was supposed to have a lunch date with melissa but i fell asleep. mom says if melissa has time, maybe we'll go out to lunch on her next day off.
so i guess that's the news from here. tomorrow i might have some fun, we'll see.

here i am. i said bye bye to new jersey, uncle pete and GG this afternoon. i got in the car with dana bunny and g-dad and we drove down to maryland. we got out at a house i've seen before. i went inside and found my mom sitting on the couch. hi mom. i ran around the house trying to play with the kitties. today there was a big dog in the house too. last time i visited there was no dog. hello dog. the dog gave me some kisses. when she was done i gave her a few kisses back. dog's name is izzy and she is a yellow lab. i played with some toys. mom found a stash of cool stuff in the attic. i've got a wicked awesome ball popper to play with. you push it and the balls inside the dome jump around, it also plays music and counts to 10. awesome.
something called the derby was on tv. from what i gather a bunch of horses run around a track and people yell at the tv. um ok. i wasn't interested. mom and dana were all into it though.
after the derby we all got in the car and went to some place called schooners. it's a restaurant. uncle ricky and melissa were there. hello people i know. i saw loads of boats, water and even a duck. it was pretty cool. mom and i sat down for dinner since it was that time. mom ordered for me, she got some crap in a cup. i think it was called veggie crab soup. blah. i did not like it one bit. i did like dana's french fries.
yeah so, that's pretty much what i've done with my day. mom says we're going to crash at uncle ricky's house tonight. i have to go get ready for bedtimes. more adventures tomorrow i'm sure.
