She's Been Spotted!


If she was in your shoes...

Color fun


From Duluth, with love

Every week Gale gets a new letter from grammy and Grampy in Minnesota, usually with a surprise inside. Here's a couple..

new 'do


Balamar's buddy

Some oddly serene moments between Gale and Balamar.

Still, Balah (sounds like "voila") remains one of Gale's favorite topics of conversation.

Halloween wrap-up


Before we become totally entrenched in yuletide festivities, we thought it worth noting that Gale's Halloween cupcake ensemble was a sweet success. In fact, at a costume contest she attended with her grandma she won 2nd place out of approximately 90 participants.

She enjoyed trick-or-treating, I think she felt a little more brave with new Halloween baby in hand.


Actually consuming candy will have to wait for another year, but she did celebrate by eating a real cupcake, and sporting a ridiculous chocolate bandito-style mustache.
