Making Music

Oh dear she's inherited her mom's singing voice

Opening Presents

We had a very fun Christmas. Had about 17 people over for a feast on Tuesday and opened lots of presents too. Lucia got lots of great gifts from friends and family. She says to say thanks, the wrapping paper tasted delicious!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!

Today we went to pick out out Christmas tree. Since Lucia is lucky enough to live in a multi-denominational household she gets Hanukah AND Christmas! Hopefully she will be able to stay awake for the Christmas festivities.
They even made a special tree for her, to scale.

Fall Fashion Tip

Always match your gown to your yam face!

Playing and Hydrating

Lucia's favorite thing right now is water! If she spies a glass of water anywhere she goes wild reaching for it and grunting. She especially likes to hold the glass herself while she's drinking. Such a lady!

uh oh, what's that I see?

I know, I know. Many of you don't quite approve but it's tradition.

more jumping

Wait, that's not Lucia!

Here are a few of my favorite places at the new house:
The kitchen:
The backyard:
and my workshop:

Lucia's favorite feature of the new house is clearly her doorway jumper. Even though it looks like the world's largest pair of underpants with suspenders. But Oh how she swings and spins with glee! That last face is just goofy.

We tried something new today...

Hello again.

Hooray, I'm finally back online after a brief hiatus. We just a phone line here at the new house (thanks for the not-so-great customer service AT&T!). Other than that the move went smoothly. Just the usual upheaval of one's life and soreness of one's back that can be expected. We're settling in nicely and even Niko has ceased to pace the perimeter of the house all night long. Unfortunately as much as I'd like to show pictures of the new digs my camera's battery charger is in one of those boxes yet to be unpacked. But here's a photo of Lucia with her peer, young Silas, taken one of the last days in the Mission. (Notice the crazy reflection of Kate, Silas' mom, in the corner.) And you know in the Mission we all be sportin' our black hoodies. More soon..

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
