Summer 2006

Wacky? Or just plain tacky? When we were told to mix and match for school one day, we took it as a challenge. Note Teddy's odd socks ... clashing plaids ... and jaunty striped beret.  I went even more crazy than that, though. I'm mixed up from the tips of my differing sneakers to the tip of my tiara. (Even my hair can't decide whether to be in a low braid or in a high ponytail!)

Grampy came down to meet his 12th great-grandchild, Joy.

I love snuggling with Baby Jo-Jo.

I'm a big girl, but I look itty bitty next to this dinosaur!

Sometimes coloring is absolutely exhausting!

Teddy is cute as a button. This was before he outgrew his highchair.

Teddy plays dentist.

Just clowning around.

California Vacation

I can assure you that I didn't sleep during the entire flight, but Teddy did. No, really ... I promise!

Teddy takes a ride on Grandpa's shoulders.

Teddy picks "follows" with me and Khun Ya.

Teddy watches with Auntie Kathy as I ride the teacups at Disneyland. (I didn't get the teacup I wanted, so I was *very* unhappy.)

Look how refreshed Kathy and Dan look ... I'm tuckered out!

Mommy and Daddy rest at Disneyland.

Teddy celebrated his birthday in California with a non-allergenic cake. Look at him try to lunge into it!

Teddy and I rode the seesaw ... with Miss Jodi's help.

Hail to the graduates! I graduated from pre-K, and Daddy got his master's.

With Princess Kayla ...

... and Princess Allison.

Celebrating my 5th birthday with my friends at McDonald's.

I'm getting ready to put on a puppet show.

"That's enough pictures, Dad!" Teddy tries to put the lens cap back on the camera.

Happy Thanksgiving! (We still miss our green kitchen.)

Teddy loved his first taste of "safe" cake ... he ate two pieces!

For Halloween, Teddy was a spider and I was Tigger. (Eileen Ryan photography)

The stacked kids. Photographer Eileen Ryan was taking photos of me lounging on the sofa when Teddy jumped atop me. This was the third frame she shot.
