The Time Of His Life

Francis is about halfway through his baby bonding time with Zoe - he has to return to work on January 12th (boooooo!). He's mentioned several times that this is the best time of his life. I mean, who wouldn't want to take it easy every day, play with baby, watch her discover the world and go on walks in sunny Santa Barbara with Maya?

Here are a few pictures of their quality time together...

First of all... are those pigs on her socks and hat???

And look! She's finally big enough to be facing outward in her baby bjorn!

We went out and about in our neighborhood the other night searching for houses decked out with Christmas decorations...something that is clearly harder to find than a calorie-free margarita. After walking through many dark blocks, we came upon this house that was actually lit up. Love the Charlie Brown theme!

Here are the girls relaxing at the Rose Garden in front of the Mission - well, Zoe is relaxing. Maya looks like she wants to pounce on a squirrel.

Isn't Francis getting pretty good at picking out cute outifts for Zoe?
