Summing it Up

Well like everyone else, it seems, the cold/flu has invaded our household. First Larry went down, then I did, and finally Baby O. Unfortunately Odessa seemed to catch the brunt of it with cold and flu symptoms all at once. Last night seemed to the worst so far with a temp of 102 lasting hours. She was miserable. So sad!

Combining nap time and happy hour...

Care Bear Taken Hostage

Bear has been identified as Wish Bear. I am assuming they do not market "gnarly motorcycle bear".

Happy 6 Month Birthday!!

Auntie Kiki made me these cupcakes to celebrate my half-birthday! Unfortunately it was a big tease as I wasn't allowed to eat them. But mama ate at-least three that evening...

Snow Day (s)

Tuesday and Wednesday we were stuck at home after Portland had a bit of a blizzard. Or, as close to a blizzard as Portland seems to get.

Bathtime

This is just one of many photos we plan to use to humiliate Odessa when she is a teen-ager [insert maniacal laugh here]. But, damn is she cute!

Okay so I may have too many hats now...

This is a hat that my Grandma made me... I think I look like a super-cute chicken.

This is how daddy baby-sits...

Presenting Odessa in Concert

Dreaming

Larry: "Last night I was dreaming about a terrabyte network storage unit..."

Santa Baby

Christmas 2006

And this happened on Christmas Eve...

Yet Another Obvious Sign that Our Family is Crazy

Grandpa and Larry sitting on the couch in the living room. Larry is holding Odessa.

Grandpa: "You are such a cutie! [to baby, not Larry]...when you are bigger, I will let you trim my toenails..."

Mama made me ANOTHER hat...

Baby is Learning to Knit

Berlin Baby

Auntie Kiki came from Eastern Europe and brought me this super-cute outfit from Berlin. Danke! I am just a little concerned that they are going to put me to work cleaning the floors...

Auntie Erika's Visit

Auntie Erika came all the way from London for a visit!

I have been friends with Erika since we were in the same Kindergarten class in Boise, Idaho. I am so happy to be able to introduce her to my daughter.

Now I am trying to convince her to move to Portland with her hubby so we can buy matching Vespas with sidecards (for our babies, of course) and knit all day long...
