Thanks for babysitting Sunday, Aunt Becky!

Anabelle in the winning costume at Saturday's Pumpkin Festival in Edina.

Baby Swap

Here's a picture of Jenny and Anabelle from brunch last Sunday at Crema.


And here's a picture of Alexander and Buni!

Best Crossover Ever

Even the mighty Corporal Giroro is no match for the fierce infant Pekopon warrior known as Anabelle.

Blue Belle

Anabelle looks stunning in her blue ensemble featuring a hand-knit sweater, hat, and booties from Ba, plus a matching fleece jacket from Aunt Becky.

In other Anabelle news, today Buni spotted Anabelle's first two teeth (her bottom front ones) coming in!

Anabelle Eats

Anabelle's thinking: "My food's not supposed to come from a bowl!"

Anabelle didn't like her first two attempts at rice cereal but she gobbled it down on her third try. What a good girl!!

Five Years Later

The whole happy family! And look at how light Anabelle's hair is getting.

Hard To Believe It Was Just 5 Years Ago Today...

Wow, a lot has happened in five years. Who could have ever predicted that our union would result in something as amazing as Anabelle? Happy anniversary, Buni!

Cute in Crib

[I'm too tired to think of a caption for this -- I just think it's a cute picture of Anabelle in her crib.]

Rosy Red Cheeks

Yes, they're cute, but Anabelle's rosy red cheeks also seem to indicate when she's getting tired.

My Daughter The Geek, Part 2

Holy PJs, Batman!

Splish Splash!

Still one of Anabelle's favorite times of day.

My Daughter The Geek

I don't care what Shawn Hoke says, I want my daughter to enjoy comics as much as I do. (Although maybe it's a little ambitious to start her with Reinventing Comics when she's never even read any other comics before.)

Purple PJs

Anabelle shows off the handmade pajamas Michael's mom made for her. Thanks, Sharon!

Proof That Men Are Born Like That

Anabelle to Trace: "Uh, my eyes are up here, buddy."

I'll let you fill in the rest of the captions for these other pictures:







Many more pics from dinner at Becky and Aaron's last night here.

Anabelle & Mandy

So many cute pictures; so little time. This weekend was another busy one with family so I'll probably be posting more throughout the week. Here's one of Anabelle with her niece cousin Mandy, who just passed the bar. Congratulations, Mandy! And here are more pictures from that evening over at the Tuongs.

Cute Close-Up

Buni and Baby play around with the digital camera while Daddy's at work.

And for your viewing pleasure: More pictures of Mommy and Baby, plus pictures of Anabelle playing in bed, and pictures of her visiting with the Jakalas last weekend.

Anabelle's Day at The Races

More pictures from last weekend: Here's a picture of Anabelle and Mommy B at the Twin Cities Marathon, where we went to cheer on our friend Jon Gipson who ran the marathon for the first time.


Anabelle was worried that Jon wasn't going to make it but he did it! (And next year Jon says he won't even need the ambulance.)


Congratulations, Jon!

More pictures from the marathon.

Visiting With The Aunties

I'm so behind in posting pictures -- here's one from last weekend of Anabelle sitting with her Auntie Dot (Dorothy Ann) and Auntie Jo (who hadn't seen her since she was a couple days old).


And here's one of Anabelle with her Grandma Bunny and Grandpa Jack. (I couldn't get rid of the redeye even though I tried with several different programs.)

Anabelle's Latest Trick

Anabelle likes to sit up on her own using the "tripod" method.

Jumping For Joy

Anabelle likes the new technology in Daddy's new digital camera.
