Back to the beach
I think we found a new favorite kid-friendly place to grab some dinner: the Shoreline Cafe.
Where else can you take a walk like this afterward?

Business trip blur
I was in Minneapolis for work last week. Veronica helped me pack.
It was a sad good-bye, but the flight was beautiful.
I went to a Twins game with my dad and brother. There's an alternate pic here.
Two nights later I went to another game with my nephew Ezra.
Brian and Chelsea were there too.
You can see I had fun playing with some new camera apps on my phone. Here are a few over-stylized shots of the city:
I also took a ride down the St. Croix river with my work team. It was a gorgeous Minnesotan evening.
The iPhone can't quite replace the optics of an SLR, but sometimes it gets pretty close. I just need to learn some restraint when it comes to using all of the bells and whistles at once.
In the end, I missed my girls immensely, so I was glad to head home.

Out of commission
I forgot to mention that I won't be posting anything (else) this week. I'll explain later.
Also, happy 10-month birthday to our little Vera-bean! Yay!

Dinner on the beach
If you look close, you can see her first tooth:
Here's a wider-angle alternate:
And here's lil' V playing with some friends in the sand before dinner:

The trials of learning to crawl
Veronica can crawl! I finally captured some video yesterday.
The first shot is rather heartbreaking and is the reason we ordered a large padded rug for the living room floor (to be delivered soon). She gets "back on the horse" in the second shot but eventually veers off course. The third shots ends in triumph. You can see how proud she is. I'm proud of her too!

Two feet and one hand
Taken at La Fiesta Pequeña on Wednesday night.
I didn't take many other photos at the event, but you can go back and watch the video I shot two years ago and blogged about here, if you want. Read more...

Playpen type thing
V has outgrown her co-sleeper, so we recently converted it into this "play yard" where we can actually put her down without her getting herself into trouble.
She seems to like it so far. Read more...
Photos from Grandpa
Here's a different perspective on last week... These photos were taken by my dad (and some by me using my dad's camera) during my parents' latest visit.
After dinner on Hendry's Beach:
Cloudy morning by the Mission, wearing a backwards hat:
Grandma, Vera-bean, and me:
Big smiles:
The serious artist:
Eating broccoli and squash:
I also wanted to say thanks again to my parents for flying out here and using a week of vacation to babysit our little girl. Veronica sure enjoyed all the attention, and since grandparents work longer hours than nannies, I was happy for the extra time to exercise and to go on a date with R. Plus, it was just nice to see them. Come back any time (that goes for all of you grandparents out there)! Read more...
