OK, so, about imaginary friends:

Boopooh as you know, is Francesca's imaginary friend. We thought Kiki
was also Francesca's imaginary friend. This, however was incorrect.
Kiki is BOOPOOH's imaginary friend. And a new character, Dahdoh, was
introduced today. He is KIKI's imaginary friend.

Very serious

There's a red alligator in the white car. We need to go see it. Also,
the car is locked. Additionally, there is a red alligator in the blue
car. It is also locked.

Francesca had a great time seeing Midsummer Night's Dream. She loved
the dancing and the live orchestra!
(Blaize enjoyed a good 10 minutes of the dancing and then had a blast
crawling around in the lobby doing his own version of grande jetes and
pirouettes.)

Francesca gets her program signed by the Queen! (Her favorite character!!)

Francesca takes her family to the ballet!

Dancers with the Portland Ballet pose with Francesca and Nana.

So cute!!

So cute -- what a good looking bunch!

Sweet mama Annie with two babies

Lollygagging on the floor on a pre- busy Saturday. We have gymnastics
class, big gym and Blaize's birthday party today!! (Black tape on
floor is Daddy's hopscotch outline for Francesca!)

Blaize and Elliot (I think!) play at the aquarium.

Look at this aquatic life!

Blaize plays with Adriana's muff type scarf. (Transportation
infrastructure in the background.)

Blaize plays intensely with a radioactive red glow worm. (I have no
idea what this is, but he loves it, clearly!)

Fun with air!!

Putting balls in the pneumatic ball device.

This little girl beside Francesca is Delany, an 8 year old and sister
of 6 year old Elliot, who met out gang along with their nanny for the
OMSI playdate.

Happy kids at OMSI

Blaize is feeling better but we are still on throw up watch. Doctor
said yesterday it's just a virus. Maddeningly unhelpful but
admittedly, somewhat reassuring.

Today, and yesterday, was Boopooh's birthday. He's from another
dimension, so that's how he rolls. (We only celebrated with cupcakes
yesterday, however. There are certain limits...)

This was her favorite pair, I think.

Sunday night lights

This is yin and yang for you. Dress up dress with football at her new
friend Sabina's house.

We are trying out a new dance class this morning. Look how cute Nana's
dress looks with the tights and tap shoes!!

Our friend, cousin Matt's car

Francesca liked the car, but it's the cousin that made quite the
impression in his short visit. Francesca keeps talking about mommy's
friend, cousin Matt. When is your friend coming back? And talking
about 'when matt can come for dinner? When he can come for sushi,
mommy?' Matt: we have to skype soon!!

Matt and Mommy in Matt's Cammera. Mommy got to drive-- wow!! It's an
amazing machine.
