OK, we admit it. We've been seriously amiss, having let over a year slip by without posting any Xandie pix. Please e-mail your wrist slaps to Geoff. What can we say? We've been having too much fun playing and watching her grow.
Like many 3-year-olds, Xandie has mercurial moods. Sometimes she refuses to let us take her picture; other times she can't wait to pose. She has become very aware of the camera, which can make it difficult to get a "natural" shot. Here are some examples of Xandie showing off how cute she can be.

| Whether acting up... |
| ...or modeling new stuff, Xandie always enjoys herself. |
|
| Of course, her parents are ready for bed long before she wears out. |
|
| Here, she's taking a friend for a wagon ride just after her birthday. |
One of the pleasures of having a child (or a grandchild) is in watching them with new things, especially toys you yourself enjoyed in your youth. Xandie's family and friends try to exert self-control -- really, we do! But she still seems to stay entertained.
| Even something as simple as a ball or a scooter is a treat to a kid... |
|
...although daddies sometimes want a bit more for their offspring.
|
| Is it the gifts that are so special? |
| (Keep away from my stuff!) |

| One of the great things about being a kid is that it's magical. You can be a princess... |
| ...or a very nonchalant butterfly, whenever you want. |

Speaking of magic, the "music fairy" visited Xandie a few days ago and brought her a real violin. We hope to have some pictures of that very soon (we hope it will take us less than a year!).
