My 1st day of school -- EVER

I was so excited about the first day of school. Everyone made it so easy for me. I would like to thank God, Grandma, Aunt Carol, Cousin Mar, Mommy, Furbear and Ms. Bradsher. I'll tell you more later this weekend. No luck on putting up the walking-to-school video, hopefully Mommy can figure it out -- someday.

Torie and USAT's Furbear check out the Obama mural inside Torie's new school.

Goodbye my love! This IS the first of MANY firsts.

I'm glad that you had a friend on hand. Furbear has been everywhere and knows everyone, he can give you the scoop.

My virtual pets I

Hi everyone! As many of you know I LOVE animals -- even snakes! But Mommy won't let me have any of my own so whenever I see an animal I just want to hold and hug them for as looooong as possible. And one day I hope to be an animal doctor so I can see them everyday.

One of my friends suggested that I could have virtual pets on my blog and I thought that's a WONDERFUL idea. And Miss Jacqui sent me pictures of her beautiful cats and her dog. So it's like virtual pet adoption -- see!

Introducing:
Murray, a golden brown cat. He's so cute.
Addy, who is black and white. Her eyes are SOOO beautiful.
Sirius the dog, who has golden eyes, looks oh-so-huggable.
I hope that you enjoy my virtual pets and if you want me to adopt your animals just let me know. Have fun!

COMING THIS WEEK: We have a special cat celebrating his 15th birthday.

Check out Addy just chillaxin at home. I wish I was next to her.

Check out Sirius with his friendly shining eyes and beautiful hair.

Handsome Murray, lounging on the couch. He looks like America's Next Top Cat Model.

Overheard by Mommy I

Torie was saying her bedtime prayers, so I quietly peeped her from the hall and she says:
God bless George (her stuffed animal)
And God bless my friends (she starts to get under the covers & sees me spying on her & restarts)
God bless my family and ... (pause) God bless America (very triumphantly, like she couldn't possibly have missed anyone in that attempt).

I love you Torie & am just glad that you pray at night.

Things I Love-Part I

Yay! Almost 1,000 stickers with crayons, paints, markers and stamps. And ... they're all Disney princesses, even my favorite Tiana. Thanks Miss Jacqui

I love stickers, drawing, learning new things, hugging, getting & opening presents, meeting new people, almost all animals, Disney princesses, color pink, sleeping with stuffed animals & dolls, water parks and making new friends. I'm in Wildwood, N.J. today with one of my aunties and we're going to a water park AND to the beach.

Hello world!

"I love you" in sign language

Yes, my name is Torie and I have my mom writing my blog for me. But IF you know me, you know that what you see is actually from me. I hope to let you into my almost 6-year-old (in November- yay!) world through pictures, videos and short stories. I love food, books, making friends and having fun.

So be patient as my mommy figures everything out.

ENJOY!!
