Let the Holidays Begin


Scout went to the
Jubilee of Trees.
All she saw was
a lot of trees.


This is going to be her second Christmas,
but it's hard to remember last year.
There was a lot going on.


She thinks that Santa guy
is a little questionable.
Come to think of it
he looks a little shifty to me.


Why should she care.
It's not like she needs anything from that guy.

Sick and Tired


Scout has not felt well
for more than a week.
We let her do whatever she wants.
That makes us feel better.
She eats a lot of cookies.


She stands up in the tub.


She skips her chores,
and does pointless things
like stacking rings on a stick.


Have we lost all hope?

Getting Out


Scout has been sick.
We thought
if she got out of the house
she might feel better.




It made us feel better.
As for her,
indifferent at best.


In the beginning
I carried her on my shoulders
.


But she got heavy fast.
Why can't she walk?
She only laughs at me.



Mom came to the rescue.
I think they
gang up on me.




Does Scout always have to be right?


How does she control me so?

Company


Scout's brother Adam
and his wife Rachel came to visit.




Grandpa and Grandma came too.
Scout told them that all she needed
was just one pony.
