Slappy Says Yī Lù Píng Ān

This weekend Slappy's Page grandparents stopped in before they headed off to China, where Grandpa Toby is opening up an experimental economics lab. Happy travels and Slappy can't wait to meet you when you return stateside! (Jess is 35 weeks pregnant).

Slappy Enjoys High Altitudes

This weekend Slappy went to Big Bear. Sam wore a skirt. No - he wore a towel after the hot tub.
The first night we celebrated Feldie's birthday through glorious song.
The Chadwicks taught Slappy how to pickle.
Erin taught Slappy about menswear.
And in true Big Bear tradition - we ate. Bacon. Lots of bacon.
And Chex Mix.

And enjoyed sweet relaxation.
In and out of water.The Big Bear Chickens - Jess and Alex, Arthur and Liza Mae, Jess and Sam, and John and Erin. Feldie was obviously sad to leave. (Jess is 34 weeks pregnant).

Slappy Knows a Nominee

That's right - the one in the middle, no, not the small one, the adult sized one, Todd. Todd is nominated for a Visual Effects Society award. The Awards are being held this weekend at the Kodak Theater in LA. (Jess is 33 weeks pregnant). Note: This is not Slappy.
Maya allowed Sam to practice his skills, both with parental supervision (i.e. Kearsley approved) and without (i.e. Kears and Todd went to the Awards show, and we did it on our own).
A lunch in Studio City - pre-awards.
UPDATE: My Daddy's a winner! Of the Best Compositing in a Motion Picture Award for his work in "Transformers".

Slappy Shows Off Her Friends

These pictures of her soon-to-be-cohorts - Lilly, Emma, Mateo and Maya - will be placed above her crib, ie dresser drawer. What a gorgeous bunch!

Slappy Likes Hot Dogs

And so does Oscar - he modeled her outfit from Holly and Tano, so she could get an idea of how she would rock it when the time comes.

Slappy Redecorates

Slappy finally began to move into her room this week, bringing in a changing table complete with diapers - YUM - and curtains and pillows hand-made by Alison. She may end up sleeping on this table, as her crib is due to arrive when she does.
