Meet Our Friends

This is Pinky.

Grace has had this doll for over a year and Pinky is her most loved toy (note the grayish layer of dirt covering the doll). Since Grace is obsessed with the color pink, she named her doll Pinky. She travels with us on all of our trips.


This is Golden Belle.

Lily insists Golden Belle is a boy. He got his name based on an Elizabeth Mitchell song that has the lyrics "Lily, Lily Golden Belle." We'd sometimes call Lily by the name Lily Golden Belle in refernce to the song so when it came time to name her doll, that's what she chose.

This is Bar-B-Que

She is a smaller and scarier version of Barbie given out in McDonald's Happy Meals. Once, while at McDonalds, the girls overheard me telling my sister that the toy was a Barbie doll. This was the first time they had heard of a Barbie doll. They associated the word "Barbie" with "Bar-B-Que" and have called her this ever since.

This is Bop-O and CeCe.

Oh, you can't see them? Bop-O and Cece are the girls' imaginary friends that they are always talking about. They pretend to talk to Bop-O and Cece on the phone and have conversations with each other about these friends. Grace and Lily claim that Bop-O is a boy and Cece is a girl.

Meal Time




Meal times around here are messy and usually involve multiple dropped forks (Lily) and repeated requests for more cheese (Grace).

Lily Long Shower


Lily has earned the name "Lily Long Shower" recently. She loves taking showers and prefers to be in there alone. She asks to stay in the shower while I dry off Grace and get her dressed. We do have a water shortage so hopefully this is just a phase.
