Mimi, cousins and stairs

Here are four videos. The first two were taken when Mimi and Papere were in town last weekend. Video #1 is the only shot I got of Sylvie with one of her grandparents the whole time they were here! Bad Mommy.
Both of Beau's parents flew up to celebrate Beau's uncle turning 70. (Of course, I forgot to bring the camera to the party.) I am kicking, kicking, kicking myself for not taking any pictures--especially of Sylvie with her Papere. The last time he and Sylvie were together was back in April when we went down to NC to visit. I swear to do better when everyone is together again around Christmas!

Here is Mimi, supervising and encouraging the budding artistes.



I think we need to take this show on the road.




This last one was taken today at Barefoot Books in Cambridge, While we were there browsing the great book selection, Sylvie discovered a new skill. Until this time, she has always needed some assistance getting up and down stairs. After going up and down over and over, she decided she was ready to do it on her own.

First, up.



Then down and up again.




We'll be back there on Saturday morning for a Halloween costume party. Hopefully I will remember to take some pictures.
