Fiffer Feffer Feff, Jr.

Molly, enjoying Nona's Halloween costume (By the way, she's already come up with ideas for the next 10 or so Halloweens. For each of us).

August Pictures

Pictures from mid-August.

Molly's stylish haircut (a compromise between her desire for long hair and my desire to have hair that didn't make her scream and writhe on the floor when I brushed it: it's long in the front); Molly observing; Sofi & Clara; Sofi & Molly on Molly's first roller coaster ride - who's more scared?; Molly on the firetruck ride; Molly & her teacher Lupe; Clara, Sofi, & Molly at the Beluga graduation; Molly & Clara; Clara; Nona & Clara watch Molly on a Zoo ride; Nana & Clara at Grove Park; Nona & Clara at Gymboree; Molly.

The Full Franklin

This weekend we had the whole Franklin gang together, Susie & Charly and all the various offspring. Huzzah!

Tweenes!

Nona found matching pajamas for me and Molly (they happen to be the comfiest, snuggliest, pajamas ever!). Molly likes to call us "Tweenes!", which is how her favorite teacher at school pronounces "Twins". We often get in debates with her these days about how to say things. Mostly, it's her correcting us ("that's not how you say it") and us trying to explain to her that there are different ways of pronouncing the same word. She doesn't quite believe us.

walkin' - the sequel

we snagged a few shots of clara stepping out...

walkin'

Look out, Clara is on two feet and off to the races! Unfortunately we don't have pics or video yet, we'll upload some once we catch up with her. In the meantime I'm posting this picture from the park, that reminds me of someone else I used to know...

Falling In Love

[scene: we're watching "Singing in the Rain" with Erica, Haidar, Zade, & Safa]

Erica: Look, they're about to fall in love.
Molly: We fell in a love pool!
It's full of hearts!
There's not even any water in here. It's all hearts.
Oh, I found a big heart, I'm eating it! [grabs an imaginary heart from the air and pretends to eat it] Oh, here's another for you [hands Sofi an imaginary heart to eat].
We're all swimming in the love pool!

Indeed, we are.
