Julija's Library Card

I found Julija's library card from Buffalo.  She was in kindergarten when she got it.  Love!

Julija and Mommie

Julija cleaned her room.....and found our scrapbook from a long while ago:

Julija the Butterfly Girl

From our Buffalo days...in front of the University Avenue house and our wildflower garden.  By far the most hardy garden ever - even under 3 feet of snow colorful little flower faces shown through!  You can see Colonel Coco, a sculpture Allie and I made out of chicken wire and an empty hot chocolate container and other stuff, in the background.  We made him to act as our scarecrow to keep the squirrels from eating the sunflower plants.  He worked pretty well, before he lived in the garden the squirrels would eat the sunflower seeds before they even sprouted!  Happy times in Buffalo.

Julija Figures Out My Age

I often forget my age- it's true, I do.  Julija tried to figure it out, she was 8 at the time.  At first she did the calculation- "Mom, you're 3,964.....but I don't think thats right"
She finally did figure it out!  The speech bubble on the top post it says "Hi Masa"  (she calls me Masa).
