Snowy cold days mean lots of time for perfecting favorite this-and-thats...

Leotard with all the fixin's, thanks to cousins Emma and Lucy.

Scrambling up onto mini rocking chair.

Latest Construx creation: "lunar lander for exploring the inner hot planets."

Not to be trumped by a less recent giant creation: mega monster rover. (Daddy helped with this one....)

post-party wrap-up

Love is homemade, so are the party hats.

"the runny noser"

"the curly duck"

"the lasagna with a side of hat"

"the thirsty mate"

"the high riser"

The one-candle wonder.

Dee-lish.

happy birthday little one

I Am Your Baby

I am joy born of suffering,
I am love born of pain,

I am mystery wrapped in life,
I am life in its beginning....

I am a bridge from past to future,
I am God at work,

I am a world of wonder,
I am a gift of life,

I am a human sunrise.

Dear Auntie San,
Now I can walk.
Love, Linnea

nearly

More walking than crawling,

more teeth than gums,

more sister than baby,

more friend than foe.

Nearly.....one.
