We went the cheap route this time and stayed at Ripplewood in a cute cabin, although I had a big problem with the linoleum floors.

I love the last persimmons on the tree at the Henry Miller Library.

My cousin Klo and her pack met up with us at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Kaia's mind was blown checking out all the tanks!

Klo also hung out with us at Christmas. The Godfathers showed up to shower Kaia with gifts. Thank you everyone for the great low key Christmas with us!

2009 was a really tough year and now 2010 started badly, but I am positive that things are on the up and up for all of us. I look at Kaia and see the future brightly lit. Babies really do grow up so fast and I missed the whole thing. So, everyone take a deep breath and do this year at a slower pace, relish the days ahead.
