Too fast for me to get her picture!

One for the road.

Grace just loves Dora.

Suki in the sun.

Getting closer every day.

Happy to see Dad again.

Looking around.

Reading with Dad.

Today we had a big adventure: I took to the highways with the girls and we ventured to the local (and gigantic) mall.

Grace had fun in this play area. Still no climbing, but she had a good time meeting other kids, running around, and talking to other moms about characters on their children's shirts.

Eventually she wandered off and we walked around the mall. The ladies in Yankee Candle loved her but Grace was too attracted to all the jar candles for us to stay long.

We wound up in one of those places where you build stuffed animals. Grace was especially fond of the jaguar.

Suki was sacked out the whole time.

Two tired girls at the end of the morning.

A minute tonight with my mook.

In a traditional pose.

Grace loved the balloons...

...and so did Suki.

Reading a card -- Grace had fun delivering all of Dad's gifts and cards for him to open! The lit candles on the cake were probably her favorite things, though.

Looking at one of Dad's gifts.

Happy birthday!

Eating an unusual breakfast of cod, eggs, and grapes.

Looking out on a rainy morning.

The Blur Sisters.

Exhausted amid her toys and miscellaneous objects collected from around the house.

Our friend Jeff came over today! Suki was fascinated by him.

Grace was a little wary at first but couldn't help smiling at him. Never mind David's slipper here.

Suki's fascinated by the Christmas tree (it comes down Tuesday, after David's birthday).

Grace explains the finer points of the Poky Little Puppy to Jeff.

Just back from some errands. She had the best time running around the grocery store while Dad and Suki shopped, pointing out characters on balloons, spotting "Swiper, that sneaky fox" on a cake, a giant yellow m&m. There were even animals -- lobsters, cats and dogs (those last two on packaging, but she didn't care). Grace had a blast.

Suki in the kitchen.

Grace has a laugh.

Suki looks around.

Giving Gorilla a hug.

January 11, 2007

Pensively considering the state of the laundry basket.

She requests some time in it often lately. I say, anything that makes her this happy, who am I to argue?

Listening to her music.

I think she looks so much like Melissa and Kenny here!

I love this chubby, kissable face!

Drawing with (thankfully washable) markers.

A mischievous look.

Not very successful at keeping the markers only on the paper!

But cute + washable = photo op.

I can't believe I caught this on video, but click and you'll see how quickly Suki goes from happy to sad. See if you can keep from smiling at around 14 seconds and if you're not bewildered at around 44 seconds. This is one time you'll be glad the video is silent :)
