Sketching

I have been using a program on the Mac called Sketch Book Pro for years. It is a pretty awesome sketching program when used with Wacom tablet. I downloaded the free version for the iPad to check it out but was disappointed to see that the iPad screen is way too coarse and doesn't register pressure or pen angle like the Wacom does. Lucia loves it though and has figured out how to change the colors, and she handles the little pen with a lot of enthusiasm without any risk of putting additional color on furniture, clothes etc.

Wheres my seat?

Lucia shows with obvious disapproval that her seat is missing from what is otherwise an accurate representation of mom's car.

Heather's version of the story: We bought this car as a potty training reward in a multi pack; because she's been sick and stir crazy and wanting to watch TV all the livelong day (GAH), we broke out the package in desperation. We showed it to her and said, look it's Cia's bil! (Lucia's car). She carefully inspected it through the miniature windows and asked: "Where's my car seat?" So clever of her. She didn't notice that the steering wheel is on the wrong side, but I did. Guess it's from the UK.

Trainspotting

Lucia got to spend a whole day with Eddie and had a dream date. Here we are at the Atherton station waiting for passing trains, giving out hugs and laying pennies on the tracks.

Little climber

Not quite ready to climb all the way on her own but she is enjoying the height.

So Awesome

Our dear friends near Redwood City were in a jam for child care today, so Pete to the rescue. He drove in terrible, terrible traffic to their house to watch Eddie today. Lucia was so excited to go see him, she literally ran down the hallway in our building before Pete was out the door. She loves her some Eddie. YAY Pete to the rescue! You rule dude!

A fun table

Who knew a table could be so much fun?

So cold!

It has been really cold here lately.

Lions share of fun

New duties

Lucia cleans. God knows she didn't learn it from me (Heather). :)

Sunday drive with Mattias

Not easy taking a good picture when driving on a twisty road..
We took a drive up in the hills near Saratoga today, it was really hot, so we kept the convertible top up. Next time I think we need to do this later in the day or when it is not so hot.
I hope Mattias's Porsche is ready then too.

Art time with the Hansens

Playing with my new computer tonight, drawing on the wacom it is hard to see who went to art school...

Up and coming

Lucia has been trying to stand up for a long time but over the last few weeks she has really started to figure out it is best to hold on to something with both hands when trying to get up.
Getting back down was a bit more difficult but it seems like she learned from Danny last weekend that it is better to fall on your butt first than go down like a timber.
