Our stake had a clothing fair. This is what I got Copper. Her face and body are in there, but a bit hard to see. Obviously it's a little big. She'll probably look like the abominable snowman this winter. That's our hope.
This is her new stroller. I got it because it's lightweight, fits in my trunk, and because it's orange. Yes, Ashley, I am reminded of you each time I look at it. She's also a little small for this but obviously she doesn't mind.
This is me today. I am sticky, dirty, sunburned a little, and my socks adhered themselves to my 
feet from the sweat of the incredible heat. We went for a retreat at work today, which means everyone, and I took myself right out of my comfort zone and straight into my worst nightmare. Sixty plus witnessed it, so I'm not making it up! A 30 minute "hike" and then repelling down a 500 foot cliff. Okay, 500 feet may be untrue; but it was probably 200, which is still high enough to give me over the top anxiety. Who am I kidding- I get nervous on step ladders. I still did it, but I didn't look down and, no, I don't think I want to do it again. I don't really think it lessened my fear but only exaggerated it. I hear the picture was priceless, maybe I'll post it when I see it. On a positive note, it made crossing a river on a tight rope seem like a piece of cake. And, really, especially with the heat, it would've been okay to fall in, especially since it was only a few feet deep. Days like today kind of make me like work- 'course it makes a big difference if you don't have to talk to any clients all day and get paid to hang out with cool work friends and laugh.

You are much braver than I am. I also hate step ladders. I think I would have called in sick rather than repel--you are an outstanding employee.
