Blessing, etc...

Franny was given a name and a blessing on Dec. 9. It was a nice afternoon with lots of family and a few friends. Here are a few pics of cute Franny. My siblings were there...I guess I forgot to snap some photos of them. My bad!

Franny already taking Trivial Pursuit very serious.

Paul on the roof going overboard with the Christmas lights.

Franny got her ears pierced last week...so cute!

Now that Amelia has a blog of our own, up and running, I thought I'd post a few pictures of our new house. If you hadn't guessed already...it is in the "island" area. The first photo is from the front of our cul-de-sac LeRuisseau.

Above: The front of the house.

Views of our back yard and looking west from the yard to the temple.


Also in the backyard is a nice canal that brings ducks to our porch for bread snacks. Fun.

The canal is now dried up for winter...no more ducks.

Hi everyone! I had so many pics that I wanted to show,so I decided to create my own blog. That way, if you want to take the time to look at tons of pictures of Franny, you can. If you don't have the time, just look at the Spencer or Gutke blog where I will post a few pictures a month. Here's our little sweetie over the past 6 weeks. Enjoy!

Holding her head up at 3 weeks

Her first time smiling at us for reals at 4 weeks

Playing video games with Paul and our friend David.

For the longest time, she would only sleep in her bouncer. Good thing we bought a crib!

So cute in her little seat at 6 weeks

Talking to us at six weeks

Halloween. Stacy Moss gave me this cute suit. It has ears, so we gave her whiskers and called her a mouse. Good enough.

Recognize this carrier? It was made in '77 for Gabe. still going strong!

Nap time

I love this picture

Franny's first aggie game. She was the belle of the ball and was a peach through the entire game. She also really loved Jaycee Carrol!

Her new hat from a former client of Paul's

From day one, Fran has always been so content in the bath. Future swimmer??

Davis sings to Fran:

My nephew Davis kept saying "Take a picture of me and Franny", as you may or may not have have deciphered in the video . He's so sweet with her. He gets euphoric when he sees her.

Paul likes snuggling up with Fran for a napski.

Franny had woken up from a nap, so I put her on her tummy for some playtime. I turned around, and in classic Spencer fashion, she was asleep with her mouth and eyes open.
And then she had a nice dream.

My niece Lucy is so darling with Franny whenever they see each other. She always gives her besos and talks to her. This particular day, I finished taking a few snapshots of them, then I turned around and Lucy was trying to feed her from her sippy. Franny wasn't so pleased, but it was a nice gesture.
