Lots happened, this is a long one...

Let's start off with the obvious, Halloween.  Well, Sissy couldn't wear her costume.  Daddy said that it was too cumbersome to carry around a huge sushi handroll.

So, instead Sister wore an outfit that came in a care package that Grandma and Grandpa sent.  Don't let this picture fool you.  She barked a lot because she was not happy with the headband.  She is not fond of things on her head.

I stayed home and watched the house to make sure no one "tricked" our place.

So, the rest of the family went to the cousins' house to trick or treat.  Cousin Garrison was Super Grover, and Cousin Beckett was Super Why.  Auntie Candice made their costumes, because she is a super mom!

Grandpa and Grandma also sent a shirt for Sister.  It says, "Little Sis".  Some might think this is just to inform people that she is not the first born in our family, and I am the first child.  But, I see it as a status informant.  It is to put her in her place so that she knows she is below me on the totum pole.

I am getting wiped out!  This is a lot to talk to about.  I have to remember it all.

Sister went to Daddy's office.  Everyone thought she was cute.  And at 7 weeks old, she is already ready to take over the place.

Mama thinks her face is saying, "Please Daddy, don't make me into child labor!"

As if.  If it were up to Daddy, his little girl would never lift a finger for the rest of her life.

Of course, he isn't opposed to putting me to work.

It is now officially my job to tell Daddy if Sister has a dirty diaper.

You've heard of drug sniffing dogs, right?  Well, I sniff out poop.

This week, Sister also started to smile and make happy noises on a more regular basis.  Her mad/sad barks still out number her happy sounds, but Mama is so excited to hear them!

THE BEST FOR LAST!

CONGRATULATIONS TO GREAT GRANDPA!

He received the Congressional Metal of Honor, which is our nation's highest honors.

The whole family dressed up and went to Aloha Night.

My sister wore a super fluffy dress that Grandma bought her in Atlanta.

Cousin Mia was there in her best too!

They are still pretty much the same size.  And we still can't get a picture of the two of them smiling together.  Look at the double chins on those two!  And people think I have a lot of wrinkles and rolls!

Everything was super official.  And the program was actually very nice, with Grammy award winning songwriters and singers, to documentaries produced by David Ono and food by Roy Yamaguchi.

Mama tattled, and told me that Sister cried everytime the room was silent.  Like here, at the presentation of the colors.  How embarrassing!

Again, CONGRATULATIONS GRANDPA!  WE LOVE YOU!

(To bad they don't allow dogs at the Beverly Hilton, I would have made this picture much better)

PHEW!  That is all for now.  I am beat!  I will try to blog more often so not to wear myself out like this!  I hope you all had a great week!
