a ballet birthday

Kaia asked for a ballerina birthday. We got to invite our closest little buddies to dance with Kaia for the day. It was super sweet and uber cute! Thank you to all our friends that came out and for Kaia's gifts.

first haircut

Kaia complained about her "baby" hair and wanted to get it cut. She went from a "wild child" look to a "Madeline in Paris."

thanks for the giving of food

halloween at the graveyard

Kaia and Ripley spent another Halloween together at Piedmont. I love this tradition!

at the farm

These posts are all late. Sorry! I have been swamped at work and traveling. Due to my recent jet lag from Europe, I am finally able to post! We went to the farm again to pick our Autumn pumpkin.

kaia miette's first day of school

Kaia's first day was yesterday. She was so happy being at school, she didn't want to come home! I had to bribe her with a milkshake!

explosions in the woods

We got to see Explosions in the Sky at the Henry Miller. Another magical night!

the buzz

Kaia and I got to check out John Russo's honey bees making lavendar honey in Carmel. I love this guy! We bought some yummy honey that I will be using in recipes soon.

I know, it's been a couple of months, but hey! I was dealing with gallbladder surgery and I spared you from pictures of my gallbladder and stones. I am feeling much better and hoping to have a healthier year moving forward. We recently camped at Henry Cowell State Park, stayed at Carmel Valley Ranch, and then down to Big Sur at The Glen Oaks Motel. Here's a few pictures of Kaia enjoying her last summer before school.
