Granddad and Grammie Meiere visited for 2 weeks in April and May, 2006.
Francesca has her own purse and shopping cart.	She needs some help to get over the "hump" in the deck.

These pictures were taken in Kristen and Giacomo's family room, facing outside to the deck.
After shopping, Francesca serves tea.	She can get up to the table and down by herself now!

Francesca got a present while we were there; a sliding board and 'crawl through'.
She loved it immediately but couldn't figure out how to use it at first.

It took her about 3 times up and down the slide to figure out how to do it by herself.
Around the back and up.	Watch this Mommy.	Down I go!

Francesca is clever. She invents new ways to use any and every thing.
Pretty soon the sliding board platform became a library.

However, in this household, everybody works -- and that includes Francesca.
Scrub the floor.	Scrub the cabinets.	Whew! This is hard work.

You know the Grandparents are going to get into the act, eventually.
