Leo likes to put his feet up while I exercise at the track!

Leo's Smile

In the hurry-burry of things lately an important Leo milestone has come and gone. In 2 days during two weeks before our trip, as we prepped the house for sale Leo went from 0 teeth to 4 teeth. Phew!

He doesn't generally smile big enough to show them off unless your angle is the ground up so we had to make him laugh really hard to get a glimpse. Dad to the rescue.

how do we say goodbye?


We feel so blessed that our house had a good offer so quickly, but we can't say we aren't sad to say goodbye. I think it will be easier once we have a "next place" to look forward to :)

Chop chop Leo...

Moving on...


We are sad to say good-bye. See the virtual tour if you want to know what I've been working on for the last 2 weeks solid!

We are in trouble...

more carrots?

Lately leo has not been eating his carrots, which he formerly loved. This morning at breakfast Pete was so excited that his three carrots had disappeared from his plate. Mom rushed to get him "replacements". But in a moment of skepticism decided to survey the surroundings more closely. Ah ha! Leo had "stowed" the carrots in the kleenex box! Sneaky sneaky...

Lickin' the brownie plate...

Doggie kisses

Hmmm that's the wrong end Leo!

Don't whine in the wine bag...

There we were - caught on a chilly evening with a shipment of wine from Martin ranch and Leo in his shorts. This was the result, we think they should start a baby trouser line.

Let's go swimming...

Warning - 1:42 min of Leo cuteness...

Leo enjoying his new airplane...

Look mom no hands... Well maybe I need one to steer... Hmmmm on second thought it seems to take two to steer and keep this propeller thinger going...

Get ready sf opera!!



Leo started making singing attempts after a few rounds of e-i-e-i-o today. This wasn't his best rendition and you'll have to slog through 20 sec of Pete and I "priming the pump" to get to the virtuoso material. Sorry!
