Am I supposed to be looking for something? Because I’ve got this leaf here so really I’m all set. Although…these things are bright and shiny. I could get behind that. But what am I supposed to DO with them, Lucca? Ohh…there’s something inside. Well whatever Cameron has, I obviously want it. You can tell by my grabby little hand, look of intense focus, and tongue that is about to come out of my mouth. *** It was a fun Easter weekend.

December 1, 2011

This really should be broken up into two or three posts, but since time to blog is hard to come by these days I’m smashing it all together here.
