Frankie's Reading List- January 31, 2008 Frankie has always been an avid reader. Rather, an avid listener, though he does have several favorite books memorized by now. His tastes range from the classics (Beatrix Potter and Eric Carle) to what may be the adult equivalent of beach reading (a series of sports related books that I bought at Walgreens).

I love this picture of Frankie playing in the leaves that Maw Maw JoJo took in St. Louis.http://meetthebreeders.blogspot.com/2008/01/leaf-pile.html Christmas 2007- January 15, 2008 You'll have to read from the bottom up, folks! Sorry. I am too lazy to rearrange everything now. There will be a few more pictures to come as my mom takes much better pictures than I do. Also, our camera sucks. Excuses, excuses...Frankie had yet another Christmas last weekend with the Breshears clan...I'll wait for them to send me pictures. Did you hear that, guyshttp://meetthebreeders.blogspot.com/2008/01/christmas-2007.html Trains at MOBOT- January 15, 2008 IMG_4704, originally uploaded by silverzephyr.http://meetthebreeders.blogspot.com/2008/01/trains-at-mobot_14.html Model Trains at MOBOT- January 15, 2008 IMG_4695, originally uploaded by silverzephyr.Frankie, MawMaw JoJo, Dave and I headed to the Botanical Gardens to see this train exhibit. It was very crowded and Frankie wasn't so sure of it at first...but when we found a good viewing spot away from the tumult, he became more interested. The exhibit combined live plants with some very complex modeling, as you can see from the pictures.http://meetthebreeders.blogspot.com/2008/01/model-trains-at-mobot.html Trains at MOBOT- January 15, 2008 IMG_4702, originally uploaded by silverzephyr.http://meetthebreeders.blogspot.com/2008/01/trains-at-mobot.html Frankie Enjoys Trains At MOBOT- January 15, 2008 IMG_4716, originally uploaded by silverzephyr.http://meetthebreeders.blogspot.com/2008/01/frankie-enjoys-trains-at-mobot.html Butterfly House, Again- January 15, 2008 IMG_4651, originally uploaded by silverzephyr.http://meetthebreeders.blogspot.com/2008/01/butterfly-house-again.html Butterfly House- January 15, 2008 IMG_4659, originally uploaded by silverzephyr.One morning, we headed to the Butterfly House at Faust Park, in the St. Louis burbs. Frankie really enjoyed the bug displays and the butterfly house (a sort of gigantic greehouse) itself was just incredible. I don't think any of us were prepared for the thousands of vibrant butterflies swarming around. It really was, as Frankie might exclaim, "neat!"http://meetthebreeders.blogspot.com/2008/01/butterfly-house.html |
