Gertie

 
Bea loves feeding Gertie with the bottle. Or just laying around with her nearby. 

And the close-up

 
We told her to look pretty and she shook her head to get her earrings to move.

Here's our little princess. 

It's fun in the kitchen.

  

Lunch

 
So now Bea's beyond the high chair. She wants to eat her meals in the kitchen like a big kid. And we can't blame her.

The Beach

 
This is the lake at Sandpoint, Idaho and it was just beautiful. Beautiful and cold. Really cold.

Our Emma, the cellist

 
We had our friend David over for lunch and he played some lovely pieces for us and let Emma play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Now any old stick is her violin and another will do for a bow. First chair, here we come! 

Here you go, Mom!

  

Happy birthday to me.
