Heidi

As you can see here, there is a new bunny in and about the Erb household.  Miss Heidi Faye seems to have much of the same spirit as Cherry Bugg.  We're not sure if she'll bite people on the head but if she just sits on our heads, that's good enough.

Heidi loves to sit in the living and hop back and forth between Mister John and Miss Jill.  She seems quite the sociable bunny but she has not yet interacted with either Phillip or Ruby Jane.  That will be a chapter of its own.

Mary Jane Does a Bit of Dancing

Ooh, sorry for the long delay between posts.  Sometimes when we get busy, we tend to forget about such things like blogging.  Then again we're not even sure as to our audience.  Friends and family, sure.  But when the website says many of our hits come from Russia (huh?), I wonder what I-madness is going on.

Anyway, in this video, Mary Jane does a little dancing before telling Gramma hi.  Quintessential wacky Mary Jane here.

Girls Ready for Seeing Extended Family

Mary Jane and Betsy Jo are ready to see Gramma and an assortment of aunts this weekend.  Hopefully Mary Jane will not repeat her over-eating of canteloupes this year.  As for Betsy Jo, maybe she'll copy and sister and try to say, "No no no!"

Betsy's Birthday Party

This headband looks good on me.

I like cake!

Betsy was looking quite spectacular at her birthday party last Saturday.  There are too many pictures to sort through but here are a few good ones.

Yay for Betsy

Alas, her birthday was on Monday but still it is important to remember how precious little Miss Betsy is to us.  Just look at that face... nevermind the cake.  Oh, cuteness personified.  Like Cherry Bugg.  Of course.

Cherry Bugg Angered at Vice President Slight

Cherry Bugg just found out this evening that she would not be Mitt Romney's vice presidential pick.  While she admits this was a crushing blow, she remains firm in her convictions that she is the best choice.  Now she can focus all of her energy to winning the rabbit election of 2012 on Dewey Street.

Cherry Bugg Teaches Betsy Jo about Being a Bugg

Cherry Bugg and Betsy Jo

Betsy Jo had her first detailed conversation with Cherry Bugg on August 6th.  While that might not seem significant to many, Cherry Bugg wants to make sure that Betsy Jo -- who will turn a year old in two weeks -- understands the roles in the household.  "Young children can be cute and sometimes quite tolerable," Chee explained to her.  "But ultimately the power in the household lies with the rabbits."  A brief pause as she riased her right ear slightly.  "And with Mister John since he feeds us."

Betsy Jo sat and listened and really didn't have much to say other than her occasional mono-syllabic squeak that she makes.  The Chee came away from the mini-conference with renewed confidence.  "She didn't try to pet me too hard," said the Chee, referencing another little girl in the household who has been notorious in petting too hard.

Betsy Jo agrees

When asked about this year's rabbit election, Cherry Bugg remained mum.  "I don't have much competition unless that lounge singer in the bedroom (Commute Bunny) runs."  I have a good shot at being the leader for the next four years here on Dewey.

Alas, poor Driveway, I knew him well, Horatio



After many many years, the driveway is being replaced.  Methinks its the original driveway that's been here since 1952 or so.  That means that it's put in some good usage for many many basketball games, wiffle ball tournaments, and oil changes.

Mary Jane is watching intently as the asphault is being taken up.

Surf's Up?

Somebody is taking the phrase "surf's up" a bit too literally.  Also might want to say, "Watch out for that tree!"

Surprise!

 

Almost as good as seeing a surprised little girl is telling her to act surprised and then her acting that way.  Here Mary Jane is listening to her Gramma on how to be more surprised.  At least she didn't go all Macauley Caulkin in Home Alone.  That would have been unfortunate.

Darn blenders.  They scare everyone!!!
