Starfish and Sea Urchins

Pretty much, this is one of my favorite pictures of Kavella and me that I have. Thank you, Morgan, for taking it! I wish I could say that my daughter is the reason, what with how deliciously cute she is and all, but alas, I'm quite positive her unintentional Klan member hoodie slightly diminishes the overall quality of our portrait sitting....However, I look great! Nothing like the right angle of the camera to help with the picturesque outcome! I'll point out a different angle of the camera that makes me look, well, less than ideal. I swear, it's the camera....ahem....right? :)


A rare photo--Kavella, as a boy. Just kidding. She is still a beautiful, scrumptious baby without a bow! Good thing, because she's been focused on removing it as of late. The sweater that Uncle Ricky and Aunt Morgan got her kept her nice and cozy!


My eternal family.






Okay, never mind. I don't want to talk about this bad camera angle crap. What? No reason in particular, I just don't want to talk about it anymore! Oh, and who is that angry chick on the left? Was she with us the whole time?

Kavella's curiosities were fulfilled by touching the sea life--she especially liked the starfish!


Perfection.

As we walked down the pier on New Year's Day, we noticed a large crowd of people lining up on the beach. Some were in swimming suits, some were in shorts and t-shirts and one was even wearing a crab suit. Go ahead, enlarge the picture and check out the crab in the middle! Anywho, apparently Huntington Beach has an annual New Year's Day Swim! I can only surmise that it represents some sort of new beginning, fresh start or other resolution-style term. However, the only thing it looks like to me is....cold! We were all bundled up and these people were jumping in 53 degree water. Nuts. Again, thanks Morgan for taking the picture!

Choco was just stoked that the baby wasn't with us. Look at all that gray in his goatee that he's grown since she was born. We love our buddy!


Newlyweds on the Pier. Awww, sweet.


Look how crowded the surfing was!




Ha, ha, ha, ha! Our neighbors gave Kavella this pink rocking horse that makes neighing noises. Kavella LOVES to play on it, but in the beginning, she was a little skeptical of the entire process. Her next picture looks more comfortable, I swear! I'll post some video when I get a chance--it's funny!


Since my Grandma Roberts taught me how to sew buttons on, I mended this little p.j. set for Kavella! Snuggly, huh?

Kavella seems to be growing into her head...now we just need the hair! Ellie needs hair too though, so I can't give you a hard time.

And I'm not sure you can be sealed to a dog....

AND, you look great in most of the pictures. I remember that angry lady from last summer when I was taking a picture of Colleen in the playroom.
