Francesca eating one of her favorite things ... Starbucks classic oatmeal...

Note: green manicured nails that Wendy got her and Molly!
Note #2: Scientists should really study how one girl can contain such sweetness, cuteness and intelligence, it's really quite remarkable, objectively speaking of course.

Seven candles (at IHOP)

Fun Is Had At Park With Buddy Owen

This is a short interlude before the Arcade and Ninjago Lego movie...

Birthday Boy Does Bars

7-Year-Old, exhibit AB

This is him 3 days before the birthday, for the record ... near Mt. Hood, clad in snow gear but it was ridiculously warm for late November... we eventually did find some snow closer to the mountain, as will be "discussed" in a future blog post.

Oh yea, it is ON

This Grandma Ellen made cake was as delicious as it looks, by the way!!!!!!! (that's 7 exclamation points, in case you were about to count them...)

Arisen and Shining on the morning of his actual birthday is Ari Blaize ...

Happy Birthday Ari! (one day early)

This was at the end of the Unity Thanksgiving dinner ....

Second tooth has been lost. Perez the French Tooth Mouse has delivered $5!! (and a note, below)

Ari Blaize’s excellent drawing

Look at these fish and ocean dwellers!
Also, he's been having excellent days lately (The Kazden Method book may be a factor) and the other night at bedtime, he said, "Thank you God for our family and food and air and science" or something like that. Gotta love the science!!

Molly is HERE! As is her mom who took the picture...

Francesca’s Le Monde school picture!

And hello, from everyday life...

Francesca is showing off an eraser she made (it's a piece of sushi) and Ari Blaize thumbs up is just a general endorsement. :D (after eating at Ole Ole)

And part 2 ...

Happy Halloween, part 1
