Summer BBQ

Last weekend we went to our annual Shorinji Kempo barbecue party at Sensei Tanaka's house. A great time was had by all. The kids all stayed up way past their bedtime! See more photos here.

Siesta Time

When Mia is not crawling around the house chasing Mona or tearing up the cupboards, her favorite pastime is taking naps in her car seat. Lately she's been putting her arms up by her head and really "chilling out."

Doors: The New Fascination

Lately Mia can't get enough of her latest discovery: doors. It could be a cabinet, a closet or her bedroom door; if it opens and closes, she's all over it. Here's how it usually goes: Open. Close. ("Watch your fingers! Watch your fingers!") Open. Close. Pull contents of cabinet out onto the floor. Crawl away satisfied, as if to say "My work here is done."

Summer's Bounty

Our purchases at the farmers' market last Saturday were so pretty I just had to take a picture. Summer is officially here! Mia got to try cherries for the first time. Yummy!

Sleepy Alfalfa

Mia woke up a few mornings ago with this new "do."

Grampies visit

Sorry for the hiatus! Life has been a little crazy lately, but we did have a really great visit recently from Grampy Jack and Grammy Patty. We all went out to a lovely dinner (Mia's first fancy restaurant!) and the boys played basketball all day. Fun, fun!

Here Comes Trouble

The adventure continues.
