Ta Da!

T wishes everyone out there a Merry Christmas!!! As she settles down for slumber, she hopes Santa enjoys the cookies & milk she left out for him and that he reciprocates with something nice for her. More pictures and a year-end wrap-up to come with the results.

T's first horse ride

She liked the horse. Didn't love it. Prefers a carousel maybe.

T loves the big slide

Dear T's life fans,

T's keepers apologize for the long delay in updates, but T's had a really busy summer. More pictures and updates will be coming soon, but in the meantime here is a new feature we're trying out. This is video of T at her park taking on the big slide. It was taken on a phone, so it's not the best quality, but we're trying something out here. Hopefully you can all see it. More to come soon...

Happy Birthday to T's Great Grandma!!!

T had a great day today hanging out at Disneyland with the girls: her Mom, Grandma, Great Grandma & Aunt Toni (and her Dad along for cameraman). It was in celebration of her Great Grandma's birthday and it was one of T's best days ever. She's loves Disneyland and her family. Some highlights:



Tinkerbell has sure gotten big, or else T is really small.


You'd think her life was so hard based on how she leans on all the characters we ran into today. She's a little much.






In an effort to win back her affections, T's keepers bought her a balloon. It worked.

T loves Mickey

As always.

T loves her Aunt Carol

Out for a quick trip, T couldn't get enough of her Aunt 'Car-gal'. We all miss her terribly. Because she went back to Massachusetts. She's fine.

T really loves the Pacific Northwest

During a quick trip for her Dad's work, Teresa completed her fourth corner of the US in a year's time and marked her first visit out of the country (to Canada, but still...). Here are some pictures of her journey.



Starting in Seattle, T took in a tour, but was confused as to what a "duck" tour was. This was like no duck that she had ever seen before.



The Space Needle from Lake Union. Still very confusing with the duck reference. It wasn't even yellow.



It was all too much for her.



T with her keepers on top of the Space Needle. Overall, not a bad day.



On to Vancouver, B.C. next where T got Olympic fever. 243 days till the Winter Olympics begin, 14 or so years until she can compete.



All this traveling takes it out of you, so T stops for a swim and a cup of water. AAahhhh...



With a little time on their hands, T and her keepers decide to take a drive north of Vancouver to visit Whistler mountain. Here, T allows her Mom a brief hug while the big fella takes a picture at the top of the mountain.



"What is this white stuff? I thought we lived in California for a reason. I tolerated it in New England because of the family, but come on. It's June!"



On a walk with the big guy near Lost Lake in Whistler.



"Careful, Old Man, there's water down there."

T loves the Pacific Northwest

More pictures to come soon, but this was a shot of T at Lost Lake in Whistler, B.C. in Canada.

T (and her parents) loved UP

Loved it! Everyone should see it.

T loves her Grandma and wishes her a Happy Birthday!

And she also loves apples, apparently.

T's two best friends

In case you haven't met these guys, these two are T's favorite pals and the only way she can sleep now. I introduce you to the creatively named Lambie Lamberson and Bunnykins:

T loves to get comfy

Why sit on a couch like a sucker when you can prop up some pillows and a blanket and settle in?

T loves the water, but hates the beach

Let's see what she thinks after we take her once a week from now on!

T and her Mom love to watch TV

That's why T loves her Mom best.

T loves to snuggle in Mom & Dad's bed

It's cute, but she's pushy!

T loves her Mom, Grandma & Great Grandma

Happy Belated Mother's Day to everyone out there!!!

T loves to wear her Mom's boots

T loves to shop

Our wallets weep already.

T loves 3D glasses

We brought these home from a movie a couple months ago and she can't stop wearing them now. God forbid we actually try to put her in sunglasses and a hat. They wouldn't last 30 seconds.

Getting bad habits

T is getting a little too comfortable around the house. This is how we found her 20 minutes after waking up this morning, watching cartoons. It would be cute if it wasn't an unfortunate glimpse into the future.

Making pizza!!!

Uncle Ed came over recently and whipped us up some gourmet authentic Italian pizzas. T loved them and couldn;t wait for them to be served!

Disney World

T had her first exciting trip to Disney World in Florida and it was a whirlwind. Here are some pictures from her adventure:


She had 10 minutes all to herself with both Mickey & Minnie. (extra magic hours, Animal Kingdom)


Hugging a goat. She got really attached to these guys. (petting zoo, Animal Kingdom)


T and Mom looking at an elephant. (Safari ride, Animal Kingdom)


T's first encounter with a sea turtle. (Living Seas, Epcot)


T posing with Goofy. (Camp Mickey-Minnie, Animal Kingdom)


Having a good time on a hot day. (running thru the water spurts, Animal Kingdom)

It was a great trip and T seemed to enjoy herself much more than even we expected. We can't wait to go back for longer.

Harvard Wins!!!

As everyone breathlessly waited, the results are finally here!!! In the most recent poll of which college T should attend, Harvard won by 54%. And with family in Massachusetts, it's a perfect fit. Above is an early preview from our recent visit at Christmas. Now, we did notice a few people were bucking for her to skip college. Now, depending on how expensive it is in 2026, maybe T's keepers will agree with that. Until then, we realize the point of a poll is to be democratic, but we'd like to push everyone to vote often and to push everyone they know to vote as well. T doesn't have to go to college, but we don't want her to skip it just because the lazy amongst you weren't vocal enough. With that, feel free to vote to your left on the next poll!

T's Life Returns!

Alright, alright. We get it. God forbid we get busy and don't post for a few weeks. Now, finally, after all the travels and holidays, T's life returns. Many more posts will quickly follow, but first is a shot of her on Easter Sunday. She's sizing up the Vasterlings new dog, Dudley. Much food consumption followed. Tune in for most posts, hopefully daily.

One Year Anniversary

Exactly a year ago yesterday, Teresa was baptized. To commemorate it, we sat down to read through her child's bible. We think she's starting to get it.

Blood everywhere

After her latest illness, this has to happen: T had her first real owwie yesterday, but took it like a champ. She managed to get a hold of Mom's razor and after a bit of parental panic, the bleeding was stopped. She now has her 4th or 5th band-aid on. It turns out she's good at getting them off. Let's see how good she is with duct tape.

T's Life is Here!!!!

Hey everybody!!!

Almost 19 months late, a website devoted to Teresa and her crazy life is finally here!!! Please bookmark the page and check in on T as often as you'd like. She's also open to suggestions for things you guys want covered. New info may get posted every day or every week; we'll see how things go. But first is our new favorite picture. We hope you enjoy the site.


I love Mickey!!!
