My darling baby...


This picture is for Julie who is waiting for her referral. Anyone reading please send a prayer or wish her way. Your Sweet girl is out there. You have amazing strength, compassion and patience. Though I know you have no choice, you do it well. We feel very lucky to have you and the Lucy clan in our lives. It will that much more fun when Lovey joins the group. (Just today Frances and Lucy experienced BFF status when Lucy spit out a blueberry and hand fed it to Frances. I can't wait for Lovey to be in the mix.)

My dramatic baby

Looking fabulous in my great furry green vest! (Another Thank you present!)


Are you looking at me?


Good.

I love that Frances will let me dress her up. She loves to wear hats and then direct me around the house to different mirrors to check out her 'look'. Here she looks incredibly adorable and about 90 years old with those too-big-sunglasses.

My wild and CRAZY baby...

Frances LOVES this Christmas gift. (It was a great gift, Thank you!) She goes crazy jumping up and down while laughing hysterically. Check out the wild eyes.




She is not napping here, she did not gently slide off her stead, but was perhaps 'thrown'. I did feel horrible, because I took time to snap this photo after she fell. She had great big tears and hiccups after this. Of course now I have proof that she is a fake- look at that face, she was not hurt. After her tears dried she got right back on.

Seasonal blogger?

I really wanted to post these pictures from October...in October! We visited Frank's family in Massachusetts for Frances's baptismal. I don't know why, but I love that she was baptised barefoot!


We had time to drive up to Main to visit family and check out Acadia National Park. It was incredibly beautiful.

And Frances got to see the Ocean for the first time...that we know of. She was not content just dipping her toes in the Atlantic.


She would have gone swimming if we would have let her go!


Frances very happy walking with her Nana and Papa.



We are well and happy and I think I might have more time to blog and...fold laundry soon. I never gave my friends with children enough credit- there are just not enough hours in the day! Which is one reason I gave my notice...and will soon have a lot more time with Frances. I worked so hard to bring her home and the two hours I share with her after work before she goes to bed is just not working out for our family. I am not sure how long this will last, but whatever else I do, it will have to be more family friendly. Motherhood is wonderful and she is amazing. Her language is really starting to take off. I think that if I blink I might miss something.


She Stands!
