My mom gave Dante this almost-antique globe for Christmas (it's from when I was a kid). He loves it.

Waannhhhhh!!!

I was setting up to take his picture in the nice, soft light from the patio door when he decided, once again, to eat the rosemary plant and scatter the dirt. When I pulled him away from it, he was very offended.

Even in his angst, he's very lovely, isn't he?

Isabella was disappointed because her friend Kirstin was sick and couldn't play. She was pouting and whining and grumping about the house as I was taking pictures of Dante in the late-afternoon sunlight.

Suddenly, she disappeared into the bedroom and re-emerged with this tiara on. I HAD to capture the moment, but she wouldn't let me. I finally had to bribe her to let me take her picture.
