"I'm four yeeuhs ode"

Mia was very, very excited about her birthday party this year which we celebrated at the Portland Children's Museum. [I think it finally hit me that she was turning four, and I couldn't stop thinking (and laughing) about the Bill Cosby "Jeffrey" bit.]

Thank you kindly to Mimi and Breanne for taking such great pictures. Check out the slideshow here.

Maui Memories (videos)

We had a wonderful time in Maui with the family a few weeks ago. It was a very special and fun trip, and Mia had a lot of quality time with her cousin/hero Adam.

Every morning we rose to the sweet song of the island birds.

One day we went on a catamaran excursion to see wild dolphins. Mia (well-trained after watching many episodes of "Go, Diego, Go!") decided it was her duty to summon the dolphins with a high pitched squeal, which she proceeded to do the ENTIRE boat trip.

We all shared our photos in an online album here.

Aloha!
