There’s something about a January sunset in southern California, the time of day and the crispness in the air, it’s so magical and gets me every time.

Amelia’s favorite thing to do is to make herself food – she poured herself and Edith a snack of cereal and milk (one of her specialties, naturally)

You know what’s delicious? Gingerbread apple upside down cake from smitten kitchen (http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2009/11/gingerbread-apple-upside-down-cake/ )… that’s what’s delicious. Especially fresh from the oven with homemade whipped cream… mmmmmmmmm

Paul and Amelia learned “cheese!” for photos from Sesame Street (thanks a lot, Elmo)… and have apparently taught it to Edie… I asked her if I could take a picture of her in the tiger hat and she came running at me yelling “Cheese!” with her adorable teeny toddler lisp. So stinkin’ cute.
