She's growing, but still pretty small.

Extreme Limits of Thoughtfulness

Margot was playing with an ice cube today. She informed me that she had left it upstairs on top of her dresser. Fearing that it would make a mess, I told her to go get it before it melted and ruined something. So Margot jumped up and ran out of the room yelling, "Hang on, I'm coming Ice Cube!"

If her sister's going to be Queen, she'd better be a Princess, no?

(I'm trying out the photo-sharing link from Flickr to the blog . . . let me know if anything looks funny. You should be able to click through these images to the Flickr page and get multiple resolutions, etc.)

Merry Xmas

Jiggedy Jig

We're home again, home again. And, the heat works again, thanks to that nice man who came over so quickly after we walked into a 48-degree house with a six-day-old. Surprise!

No pictures to post today - basically didn't take any, given packing up, heading home, getting lunch & the furnace fixed, and a shopping run for holiday provisions etc. But - the Xmas tree isn't (totally) dead, the house isn't (totally) a wreck, and it's conceivable that we'll be ready for guests tomorrow and Xmas the day after.

Anyway, we're home and on our feet - but bushed enough that I shouldn't dawdle while both girls (see how I said that so naturally) are sleeping. G'nite!

Isla, Day Five

A few pics for those waiting patiently...

Can you rub your tummy and pat your head?

Isla Has Arrived!

Not Quite Right

Christi and Margot were making muffins this morning - with Daphne the doll observing. Christi asked Margot to move Daphne out of the way so she wouldn't get messy... and a solution was reached.
