New pictures!

New pictures on Flickr! Clicky!
(For those unaccustomed to Flickr, this link will take you to my main photostream. I recommend selecting a set from the three listed on the right hand side of the page, like Ti'anna's 6th Birthday. When you get there, if you don't want to click on each picture successively, you can select "View as Slideshow" from the upper right-hand corner, which pops open a handy little dialog box. Click on any picture while they are playing for a closer view.) Enjoy!

Of special note: Ethan as a blur in a group picture (ah, art imitates life). Mom absent from all shots (life imitates art). Ti'anna holding a camera (she imitates me). Inverted glass pie plate holding a cake (pan imitates cake stand). That is all.

Ethan's 4th Birthday

Ethan chose chocolate for his cake, and Ti'anna chose the decorations and helped arrange them. We went outside after cake and blew bubbles! Thank goodness for the sunshine that day!

Happy Birthday, Ti'anna!

Ti'anna turns FIVE!

Ti'anna Celebrates Birthday #4

Here Ti'anna, Ethan (far right) and Gabriel Eide (Ti'anna's friend, on the left) hunker over the toddler-lust-inspiring Magna-thingy.


Another picture from Ti'anna's fourth birthday party. She's drawing here, with her new magna-doodle thingy.


Ti'anna ready to blow out her candle. The cake was an expensive disaster wrapped in absolutely scrumptious ganache (on account of which everyone seemed to forgive the cake's failings).
