Francesca bouys spirits even in the face of home repair challenges...like the electricity going on and off when mommy and daddy are trying to bake a pizza!

Sweet napping in the shade... there's shade--because there's sun! Sun sun sun!!! (here we come....)

Francesca is glad Grandma Ellen Tutu is safe from tsunamis

This little pink polka dot sweatshirt came from Grandma -- look, it fits!

Francesca figures out some fun things to do

Hmmmm....



Fun on a stool



This has been fun but wait, what's this?


Bunnies hopping. . . excellent plot.


Several minutes later. . .


Fascinating stuff. . .


Francesca shall get these beads.


After playing, bathtime, and after bathtime, curly hair is evident.

Francesca is not happy with the napkin as bib situation. not. happy. at all.

Sweet little commuter in the morning

Francesca is ah eateen spahGHETi!

Francesca awakes early to examine the properties of glass jars. T-minus 6 days until the big One year old birthday!

Mmmm mmm good cheese!

Have a Beautiful Tuesday!

Francesca has been signing 2 things
a lot lately. One is food or feed me please (touching mouth). The other is 'I want that' (both hands being made into a fist at the same time pulling them toward her. This is her own sign, not from book or daycare. Needless to say, parents think it is endlessly cute and smart...)

By the way, in this picture, she is saying 'I like to munch on the yogurt container lid...'

Francesca is the belle of the ball...

Francesca demonstrates a favorite move on a glorious Monday morning!

Francesca stops her rocketship for a brief rest.

Francesca and her parents had a great time on the tennis court.

wheee!

Swinging in the glorious sun...what a day!

Tennis fan (and/or pro) in the making... (it was out.) (Joking....no idea...) (But the Score is Definitely LOVE...)

little girl with a curl...

Absurd amounts of cuteness and fun with (clean!) laundry, mostly with mom's underwear

This session lasted at least 15 minutes. When it was all said and done I had taken 104 photos. These nine may seem excessive perhaps (what? never! you say...) but there were at least 30 that I could have chosen, so really, I exercised considerable restraint.

Francesca falls fast asleep in her highchair

This is the third time she's fallen asleep in her highchair mid-meal. Daddy was particularly amused this time and grabbed the camera...

Mom home early on a Sunny Friday afternoon. Francecsa was home most of the day with daddy after a night of battling the stomach flu. Way worse by far than having stomach flu: having Francesca having stomach flu. Prognosis for whole Frost Trahan clan: excellent. Friday has been vomit-free! By the way, Francesca really wants you take this star...

Hello Thursday!

Francesca waving happily in her sweatshirt. By the way, she has a new attachment to her sweatshirt. I tried 3 times to take it off and she cried each time and stopped immediately when I put it back on.

Happy Wednesday from a sweet girl of love...

We are missing Pawpa and Nana!

Nana and Francesca take turns hugging Georgia the monkey.







Francesca and Pawpa discuss the fine points of sippy cup drinking.





Francesca caught in the act of one of the most exhilarating activities ever--removing eye glasses!




We miss you P&N!
