Like Mother, Like Son

We can't get over the likeness in these 2 photos: Esperanza, age 7, taken in Colombia in 1993; Frankie, age 1, taken in Taos just last spring.

Our Happy Little "Swinger"

These videos demonstrate why taking Frankie to swing at the park became our favorite activity whenever we were together. He is so obviously delighted, how could we not be as well?

Sweet Slumber

What Grandma could resist capturing this sleeping little "froggy" for posterity?

Our Little Naturalist

Grandpa and Frankie spent lots of time exploring the treasures of the courtyard--grass, leaves, pebbles, stones and sticks. Inexpensive toys, for sure, and all quite fascinating for Frankie!

Grandpa's Favorite Sound

The one "word" or sound which Frankie says over and over again happens to sound very much like "Gram-pa!" This, of course, delights Grandpa Bob who, to his credit, tried very hard to help Frankie learn also to say, "Gram-ma!" By the time we left, Frankie was still very partial to "Gram-pa." (We only managed to record Frankie saying it once in each of these videos, though, so listen carefully--or just watch a video again if you miss it!)

Dancing with our Star

Play Hard...Sleep Tight

After a busy day of getting re-acquainted with Grandpa and Grandma, and
exploring new toys, snuggling with Mommy is pure bliss!
