A girl's castle is her home

Don't even think about taking this pizza away from me.

Spring Football Pratice

Future trackster?

That is daddy in the background with the black shirt.

I want to play!

Frances visited Dad's first spring football pratice today. She's her daddy's girl--she grabbed a ball and wanted to join the team in warm-ups. We had a nice walk over to the field, checking out many sticks and rocks on the way. Frances walked quite a bit herself. We are so happy it is warm out again!

The library is a refuge in these days when it is too cold to play outside. Frances likes to visit the birds, climb on the risers in the storytime room, and pick out new books to read. There are kid-sized couches and chairs and the whole children's section is big and sunny, a perfect place for a toddler to explore. Hooray for Grinnell's new library!

Winter day

I wish I could go outside!

The Muffin Turns One!

Sorry for the long delay between posts! Here are some pictures from Frances' birthday party today. In attendance were her grandparents, Barb, her new friend Penelope, and P's parents, John and Simone. Happy Birthday Frances!
