Lulu and Oscar

Lulu decided to come back for a short visit while Pop was on a ski trip. What fun!

Arranging some flowers that Lulu and Maya found on a neighborhood walk.

Beautiful.

Lulu brought a beloved doll that used to belong to Mommy. Her name is Annie K and she is only a little bit creepy.

Nice outfit, Annie.

Dexter is living it up in the exersaucer.

Dex and Daddy.

Dexter is now a very proficient thumbsucker.

He is also very huggable.

Lulu was here for Oscar night. This year, Brandon, Sara, Elliott and Nicholas joined us for the festivities. Dexter and Nicholas were particularly excited to see their first Oscars.

Maya spontaneously decided to put on her fanciest outfit like the people on TV.

Tickling Dexter.

Maya gets fancy again.

Hello.

Happy boy.

First measure out 3 heaping scoops of beans.

Pour the beans into the grinder.

Adjust the time to approximately 20 seconds.

Press start.

Watch beans come out of the grinder.

Smell that coffee.

Play Gym Happiness

Dexter has been slow to embrace the wonders of the play gym. Finally he's enjoying grabbing the hanging objects and trying to eat them.

Welcome to the jungle.

Happy boy.

Happy boy, continued.
