Grandpa Craig's bday celebration - more pics of Florence for Grandma Colleen and Grandpa Jim

She absolutely LOVED the backpack. She was just chillin back there, checking everyone out. It was so noisy and so much going on (we were on the promenade in Santa Monica) she just soaked it all in until she finally passed out


Happy birthday Grandpa Craig!


Great-grandma Gege giving Flo some love.


I couldn't pass this one up. She is so expressive with her face and makes the funniest faces! Bennett is the master mimic-er and can always crack me up when by imitating her.

I had some delicious salmon, Bennett had what he said was the best steak he's ever eaten, Craig got some oysters (of course-if you're family you know his love of oysters) and they special ordered them from a restaurant down the street, but my fave was Theresa's pumpkin raviolis. And we topped it off with 2 of the most divine chocolate desserts I've ever tasted. WOW - my mouth is watering thinking about it

Flo is 4 1/2 months old

Playing with Dad



This sweet thing was a hand-me-down (like pretty much all our stuff) but it's pretty great. Its like the piano in "Big" but for babies! She loves it - but she's still a little small for it. Soon she'll get the whole concept that if she moves back and forth it plays
