fresh air

 Still part of the daily routine, we get out to the parking lot and enjoy some sunshine, fresh air and a break from the complaining!

baking time with Iris!

 Iris has reached the age where I reckon she can stand on the chair without falling off, the basis of being allowed to help Flora and I bake banana bread and cookies. They are ridiculously adorable. Mostly, I chuck chocolate chips in their direction to keep them distracted and happy while I mix as fast as I can. Iris was putting her spoon in the batter and dipping it in and out, tasting away happily.

 Enjoying the fall days. They have sure been good to us!

From this.....

...to this!

She isn't choking Iris, though it does look that way. If I remember correctly, Iris is standing on her foot and Flora is still trying to keep her in place for the picture!

I remember Flora doing the same thing with her fists when she got excited. Iris is clearly wrapped up in a fairly good episode of Baby Einstein.

 She gets cuter and cuter. 

 Trying her best not to smile.

 Can't do it!
