Marma's Boogie Woogie Chu-Chu
Marma's Heather's grandmother

I was recently lucky enough to be sent these beautiful photos by the current owner of Heather's grandmother, Marma's Boogie Woogie Chu-Chu. At almost 11 years old, it seems that she is as healthy and active as ever, and according to her "mom", Gloria, her favorite activity is chasing her remote control truck around! Thank you, Gloria, for the great pictures!

Maybe I can catch it this time!

Ceili and Piper with Chu-Chu

Chu-Chu's "mom", Gloria, is at it again! She is now the proud mama to two of Kelan's sisters, Ceili and Piper. As you can see below, these little girls are hard at work, being spoiled rotten, that is! Keep up the great work, Gloria. They're beautiful!

Who can resist an afternoon nap after all that playing? Marma's Boogie Woogie Chu-Chu, Ceili, and Piper all need some time to rest before the next playtime session!
