Happy Birythday uncle Gary AND Great-Grandmother Pep.

We got lucky enough to reach Grandma Pep on the phone this morning - and she sounded great! And ..... it's a real easy name to say.

Here is the her namesake celebrating the occasion at play school - thanks Ms Joanne.

Sour Sop is currently the number one flavor of the month.

All ready to play Phagwah!

Thanks aunti Rena.

Sleeping on the job.

Clearly this is Rhea's idea of work with her Uncle Manny. Here she is behind the counter at the shop in he makeshift crib. Pretty soon she'll be able to quote the prices on all your standard electrical supplies and equipment.

Dressed up for the party.

She recently got her first tricycle which is a huge hit. She's a few months at least from reaching the pedals but pushing off of the floor is not a problem. Yesterday she attended a 3 yo's birthday party wearing one of aunti Irena's special outfits - a luxurious long cotton dress with matching head piece. Weaning is the next big challenge for her and her mama.

Sick baby

On Friday afternoon she started vomiting and for the night could't keep a thimble of water down. She improved some over the weekend but vomitted again Monday.

Sweet sleep.

Being a parent does in my mind give one a greater appreciation for the joy of snoozing.

'Shoes' is now a hit word.

Every time he dad heads for the door she runs to get her shoes and holds them up pleading.

First 'bust up' lip.

This was actually last thursday and probably the scariest moment we have shared. For better or worse Julie had just left on a two dy outreach program for work when disaster struck. Given that she falls at least ten times a day, I have no idea how she didn't get her hands out in time. A face first encounter with the hard tiled floor of the office caused enough bleeding to really shake uo her old man. Both her lips were cut on the inside - but is clotted upo fast and she was distracted right away with a bunch of sheep in the yard.
This pic is a few minutes after impact. The swelling went down the next day and by the time Mom got home, it was unoticable. We've been through a couple of skinned knees already and she's a tough kid alright.
