Everybody is turning something this month.
Amelie is 6, and boy, is she ever. Going around saying, "I'm big
now, I can do what I want". If only it were true. Desmond is
officially 1, and we were thankful that Naomi's birthday this year
was a lot less painful than last year. This is a raw-food cake that
Naomi made, it came out fantastic, too. |

Getting everything set for the party. |
|
|
|
We had a really fun party, with lots of
stuff for the kids to do. This is an inflatable roller you roll
around in. |
|
|
|
The kids have been making hundreds of
pages of spin art, so I scanned in a bunch that I liked the best.
The girls are amazingly creative with it, way more than me, I have
to say. Here Amelie stuck her finger on it after we had turned it
off and it was slowing down, and it came out looking like a flower. |
|
|
|
Here's another one that just happened to
come out like a bird, they've got so many more amazing ones, too. |
|
|
|
We have a season pass to Disneyland, so
Naomi took the girls there for Amelie's birthday. I think this is
Ariel, but who knows. |
|
|
|
Desmond was feeding the rabbits some
sunflower seeds, when it suddenly occurred to him... |
|
|
|
...hey, why should the rabbits have all
the fun? |
|
|
|
Desmond continues to be the happiest baby
I've ever seen, just so happy all the time. |
|
|
|
Naomi took the girls to Joshua Tree for a
few days camping. It's car-camping, though, which is pretty
convenient. |
|
|
|
It was pretty cool with all the boulders
everywhere. |
|
|
|
The camping trip was organized by
HSC, a home-school group,
so Naomi was there with a big group. |
|
|
|
Amelie and Mia had a ready-made group of
friends to run around with. |
|
|
|
Every night Desmond would prepare a
different gourmet dinner for them. |
|
|
|
Naomi was unprepared for both the heat of
the day and the cold of the night, so everybody came back sunburned. |
|
|
|
They took a hike to a stream that pretty
much comes out of nowhere and returns back into the ground, it was
pretty neat. |
|
|
|
Quick, Mia, Desmond is trying to escape! |
|
|
|
Until next time, Desmond says hi! |
