It's sad when you drop one of your toys through the stair rails. Her face says it all. The poor child has been neglected as of late, but my thesis is almost done. It's faces like this that make me long for graduation.

Her "What are you looking at" face
Discovering that being tall has its perks
Food face
They should make this an Olympic sport.


I tried and tried to rotate this video but had no luck. Here she is playing the piano. She smacks my hands down when I try to play with her, so she is on her own in this video.

Our trip to Idaho:

Fourth parade-short and sweet

Fourth softball tournament-fractured my arm

Night of the Fourth-Evanson fireworks show...pretty amazing with some wayward fireworks that cinged some family members' shirts

Evanson cabin-beautiful scenery

Sun valley-missed a chance to meet W. Buffet and B. Gates, but enjoyed the weather, scenery, and Mexican food

Stanley, ID-family renuion, beautiful Sawtooth Mountains, tried tabouleh (Greek salad which I tried to recreate and completely failed)

Rockin the 80's

This was an old vest of my niece's. We had to complete the outfit with some makeshift 80's accessories. If only her hair were long enough to be crimped...

Kenzie making noise

Kenzie loves any opportunity to make noise

Side pony.

First ponytail

She sits up great, but refuses to crawl when rolling to her destination is much less exerting.

With Great Grandpa at the cemetary on Memorial Day.

The view from our swamp tour.




Plenty of crawfish. A local noticed us struggling to get the meat out and kindly gave us some pointers.
Kenzie on the plane home. She has become quite the seasoned traveller and especially loves that no carseats are involved with the airplane thing.

Inside Antoin's--a restaurant famous for its Oysters Rockefeller. Our banquest room was decorated with old King and Queen of Mardi Gras artifacts.

With Aunt Helen on the Steamboat Natchez.
Downtown New Orleans from the Steamboat Natchez.

NEW ORLEANS

Canal Street and the Mississippi were visible from our hotel window. We experienced some pretty stormy weather during our stay. Kenzie claimed her bed early on.

Teeth

Hopefully the rest of her teeth aren't as sharp.

Canadian family

Family pictures

Here is the building. We are finishing up the exterior and are just getting started on the interior. We are about 3 months away from being done. It is going to be a pretty cool building when we are finished. When you come down to visit we will go see it.

This is the parking garage. It is pretty much done. We have to put the permenent rails on the stairs and paint them and then we'll be done.

First ball game

The surgeons at work shared these season tickets with me. Kenzie was mesmerized until the bottom of the fifth when she reached sensory overload and crashed. Even the fireworks during home run celebrations didn't wake her. The kid has her dad's sense of sleep.She made many friends with the fans around us, and managed to get a death grip on a man's finger sitting next to Boe (a nice man whom I considered trustworthy). I wondered how long he'd last and was surprised to clock him at around 4 minutes before he released her grip. Some things are just too cute to let go of.
