Blaize and Yvonne at bookgroup. They are both enjoying the discussion. . .

Francesca chows down her sushi lunch.

Lilly and Blaize bond at Sunday school. . .

At last, Francesca takes a nap.

Blaize and Adriana have been getting along famously. Whoo hoo!

You would not believe how much this boy loves his baths!

Handsome little manchild

Blaize and Francesca frolicked with Adriana today at OMSI. Daddy worked on Adriana's room and Mommy cleaned the bathtub. A good time was had by all.

Francesca and the Harmonica

Plus, a bonus side plot.

It is Blaize's 3 month old birthday today! We celebrated with tummy time and extra kisses.

Francesca contemplates her next move.

Oh, you can make snow balls!

She's initially skeptical of the cold white stuff.

Francesca touches snow, not for the first time but probably the first time she remembers.

First we sweep the snow swept steps. (And then repeat three times fast.)

Whoa! Snow!

Francesca and Blaize hanging out in the kitchen

More Blaize smiling, more Francesca "talking" . . .

Some Blaize smiles

Of course, he saved his biggest smiles for off camera. . .

Francesca helping with the dishes

At the beginning of this video, you see a new trick — stacking plates on the floor before handing them to Daddy. Creative, if not entirely sanitary. . .

Francesca in fantastic outdoors attire, including hat and tutu.

A better picture of the little brother.

Sweet siblings on a Tuesday morning. . .

Sweet father, sweet son. . .

Daddy's little dude enjoys President's day in his new Carseat Swing. A veritable find at the neighborhood resale shop.

Francesca says, Happy President's Day!

Joy and Wonder, today, now, forever. amen

Francesca has a new warm coat, with a hood, see?

Daddy and Blaize get in some male bonding at the Warehouse Cafe.

mmmmm. . .

Oh happy day!

Happy Friday! Francesca enjoyed, and is wearing, her breakfast smoothie.

Blaize practices horizontal running and stationary jumping.

Francesca, Violet and Lois at OMSI. (Adriana's friend Britiany is Lois and Violet's nanny--don't you love it??)

Blaize sitting up and taking it all in. . .

Blaize relaxes in his bouncey.

Francesca ate all her eggs and all her French toast!

What do you mean it's gone?

Yum!

Oh my beautiful chocolate. . .

Francesca loves to sweep-- she is such a good helper!

She's sweeter than a ripe pear.

Dad and Blaize 'work out' in Blaize's baby gym.

Happy baby boy! Happy Valentine's Day! Blaize is a pure flame of love. . .

Francesca gets ready to GO on a WALK, VIDEO: 30 seconds

The three of us had the place to ourselves for quite a while

She climbed up once with some help from mommy,then four times with no help whatsoever. She's on top of the world looking down on creation!

Francesca learned to climb these chains in no time. This is a cool downtown play area a couple blocks from Powell's Books.

Blaize snoozes at the end of a long Trader Joe's shopping trip. . .

Happy laid back baby in the morning.

Francesca likes her breakfast smoothie.

Francesca enjoys a little birthday snack in her PJs.

Francesca, mom and Blaize visit Growing Seeds for Edie's PJ birthday party. Edie and her mom Kelly are on the right. Both Francesca and Edie were wearing monkey pajamas!

These socks remind me of a time, long ago, when daddy cracked mommy up with them. . . Bonus points if you remember that post. I'll find it and link to it!
Found it! (July 3, 2009!)

Francesca wants to read a blessing before second breakfast.

Blaize and Daddy play with the bee in the morning.

Here we see three of Francesca's favorite things: Dora, lotion and pooh bear (pronounced 'Poohah' sometimes sounding like 'Boohah'...)
