Favorite activity at the play ground, go head first down the slide.

Hawaii

This little Wahini is in Hawaii for the first time, with a brand new sun hat, celebrating her first birthday.

What else do you have in Hawaii but Fufu drinks.

That late afternoon sun can be hot.

Surf's up.

Look mommy, whales!

On top of Maui.

That's right. I am 1 year old....and this cake is goooood.

The ocean can be a bit scary. Especially when the waves are just as tall as you are.

Ah, those Hawaiian beaches.

Kate and Ava and a very old Banyan tree.

Daddy's lens cap is tasty.

Maui, Ka'anapali shores, pool side, happy and just about to go for a swim. Life's good for a 1 year old little girl.

A long weekend

This Seagull had Ava mesmerized for a long time and the bird would not leave and just stood there for 20 minutes.

Watching Hockey Night in Canada.... Go Canucks!

Sleeping outside on a winter day

Kitchen rose.

Alki Beach

Seattle weather - gray skies and rain

Nothing else to do but taking photos of the little one and cook some really goood food (salmon and baked potatoes followed by chocolate pudding with lots of whipped cream)

"BALL...I command you. Come hither!"

"Beans.... I DON'T LIKE BEANS!"

"No no, wasn't me"

-"Pear bits....slippery little things. Now, concentrate"

"Wanna play?"

A leisurely Friday evening

Ava was doing her "fish face" in bed and dad had to take out the camera. Mom joined in for a while. Pouring rain outside, what better than a cup of tea and some cake.

A new year

Ava in the bath, a daily routine.
