I cannot tell you how much I love to be surprised with little things.  Like Thursday for instance, I was in the basement helping my nephew Nicholas make a stuffed octopus.  As I sat at the sewing machine adding all six legs to the body, I thought to myself I should blog this.  I yell to my niece Erika who was in the other room, 'Erika, go get my camera!'

And she does ... and she takes the liberty to practice her self-portraits.  I love her.  Enjoy.
