Silly daddy

The dome wishes it was as large as that of the Minnesota Capital! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_State_Capitol for comparison.

It looks pretty on a sunny winter's day. The "ShapeUpRI" campaign going on now (see www.shapeupri.org) encourages us to walk at lunch, so I have been traipsing around Providence several days a week. Most days I remember to bring my camera, and that's why I was up there on the 19th.

He really loves his baby sister:

Here she wears a hand-knit sweater given to us by a local newspaper columnist who's a friend of Grandma M; there's a matching bonnet and little kneee-high knit booties, too. They'll be great at her Baptism with the family christening gown that's working its way through the third generation.

Big Sister likes to help out feeding Little Sister. (Given how slow an eater Little Sister is, it's good someone else can take over when the parents get boreed at the half-hour mark on a three-ounce bottle!)

Big Sister reads to Little Sister. She's also very good with the baby.
