A girl, her bunny and Santa Claus

A girl, her bunny and Santa Claus

A girl with her bunny and Santa Claus

Her first visit with the big man in the red suit went well. They chatted each other up, laughed and shared stories. And…she found out she’s on the “good list!”

Here’s a rendition of ‘Rudolf the Red-nosed Reindeer’ to all of you from our little elf. She said proudly, “Mama, I know all the words. Even the ‘history’ part!”

Merry Christmas from Pampers and Pakhlava

Bunny’s trip to the Rockies

July 18, 2014 by Beth Shepherd

When you’re a bunny, taking a trip–to the Rocky Mountains–is a big deal.

Some might fend off a mid-life crisis by leaving the comforts of their corporate salary to jet off to a deserted island. Others might buy a Jaguar. I’ve chosen to dive head-long into my 50s and beyond by becoming a first-time parent. At any given moment you might find me holding a camera, a spade, a spatula or a suitcase. Or my little girl's hand. Adopted from Armenia, she puts the Pampers and Paklava into my life.
