Summer 2003

This summer I had a lot of fun, even though we didn't really get a very long vacation. We traveled to Massachusetts for the 4th of July holiday, where I swam and went hot-tubbing. I also got my own pool at home. I had visits from Khun Jai, Auntie Kathy, Grandma and Grandpa Steve. I've finally learned the joys of sleeping in my own bed. I love to sing. My favorite songs are "Twinkle, Twinkle" and the ABC song.

I went to Grampy and Grammy's annual BBQ and was, as usual, the belle of the briquette. I told everyone who would listen my FULL name and, when asked my age, said, "Five!" without hesitation (hey, a lady never reveals her true age!)

Who is sneaking up on me?

Cousin Melissa found all of my tickle spots!

I picked peaches with Auntie Kathy. She let me ride atop her 6-foot-1 shoulders for better access ...

... good thing Auntie is so tall!

I saw the seesaw!

Compare the Caties ... what a difference a year makes. The shot on the left was from June 2002. The one on the right is from July 2003. Will I get to be as tall as Auntie Kathy?
