Tuesday morning

Don't talk to me before my first cuppa milk.

Happy Tuesday!

Mom who invented bubbles anyway?

Ahhh a late afternoon bubble bath--what could be better?

Life is good.

More pictures from Saturday

Francesca and Josi seem to have really hit it off...

Ring Around the Rosey, iteration #374

Francesca "falls down"... And incidentally, if you notice the living room decor, we are honoring the 5th anniversary of hurricane Katrina.

Randy drops by to pick up Mommy for the Board Retreat!

Francesca is a little shy....

Riding in the car

Francesca reads about her fish on the way to the store in her new Vans...

Francesca and Josi

Busy weekend! Mommy at an all day Saturday Unitarian Board retreat. New babysitter, great high school junior named Josi, babysat for the first time--Francesca had loads of fun...
(Note, this was about how old I was when I was reading loads of stories and being mama junior to Merci and Frances :-) Off to the store now -- more pics soon!

Well hello again, little love girl!

Oh the preciousness.

What's that little half neckked toddler pointing to?

if she's awake, chances are she wants to go outside...

Geez that was gone fast...

90 seconds later...

Francesca eats sweet potato all by herself!

OMG! Is that the Gerber baby?

milk in the morning is good

If this is not the most beautiful girl in the whole entire world, well, I will just eat my hat.

I tell you what....

"I am happy, swimming in my pond..."

she shoots... and she scores!

Taking a rest from all the swinging and climbing and sliding and scrambling. Whew!

the favorite activity of the day... how long can Francesca bounce on the bridge? how long can mommy stand it?

bouncing on the bridge... this one is supposed to move...

big girl, climbing the stairs to the slide...

So THIS is why "they all fall down"... eventually.

She started doing this and daddy got the camera in time to capture it. This same action continued a pace for some time after...

sweet girl amid apples...

a kitty and an apple, oh my! what to do?

Checking Out the Reading Material at OPB

Mommy works late and baby waits in the Green Room, where all the important guest wait before being interviewed.

Notice the room is actually painted light green.

Afternoon Power Nap

Waiting for Mom to come out of the office.

Good morning Thursday!

Francesca Pets A Cat

Cats are more interesting than picking up apples.

sometimes you really just have to stop and smell the apples...

what a world, full of fruit we live in!

Francesca of the everlasting energy!

We miss grandma!
