This is what I saw when I got home this evening. Francis, Sally, and George were playing in the backyard. Sally took a lot of great pictures of everyone, including our handsome dog, Scout.

So Far So Good

This set of pictures typifies the love-fest that we’ve had in the Gulde household for the last two weeks. Francis usually has hugs and kisses for her brother, George.

Standing in our living room today, however, Francis looked at me and said “George go home.” She was scowling, but I’m going to assume she meant to say “George has come home.” Her limited understanding of grammar, specifically tense and mood, created ambiguity in a statement intended to be poignant. That’s our Francis, she’s sweet, she loves her brother, and she doesn’t want him to go away so she can play with her mommy and daddy in peace. You hear that, little girl?

Kristen - Sal, I'm sure you interpreted Francis correctly. Love fest. 😉

Love you guys so much!!

Responding to popular clamor for more images of himself, George has authorized us to release this limited number of pictures. Behold, and enjoy.

Eoin’s Second Birthday


Eoin’s 2nd Birthday
Originally uploaded by The Gulde Family.

Our good friend Eoin (that’s pronounced “Owen” for those of you unfamiliar with traditional Irish spellings) recently turned two years old and had a ball-themed party on Saturday. George enjoyed his first party, and Francis loved the cake, the bubbles, the pool full of balls, and all of Eoin’s presents.

Happy birthday Eoin!
