Reflection

Tyson took this photo.  I was unaware.

up to speed

So, as we know, i am officially the worst blogger on the planet! on a side note i'm also horrible at journal keeping, scrap booking (a skill i have no desire of improving!), and family history. if i even look at the family history website, things start getting messed up! but anyways...

here is one photo per month since i last posted.  or maybe more, if i can't help it.

MARCH

We went to san diego to see our friends. D couldn't get enough of the beach.

And this is in redondo beach.  it was cold.

APRIL

LA temple and the big moon at griffith observatory.

MAY

Malibu.

JUNE

 we didn't discover Three Strike Park until june.  we went there so many times to make up for a year of not knowing about it!

Dahlia.  moving in style.

JULY

we moved.

 AUGUST

 SEPTEMBER

happy birthday, me!

OCTOBER

 And there you go.  eight month in one post.  Didn't even know it was possible, did you?!

One of Dahlia's favorite things...

is Photobooth.  She could take pictures for hours (hours in baby time is more than 10 minutes)!  She loves waving, and saying hi to her 'baby friend' (aka, herself).  She even says cheese at the right time!

oh yeah, and i cut my hair ;)

(as if that's not really what this post is about!)

it's been awhile...

 we went to the san diego zoo wild animal park not long ago.

and a real blogpost/update is coming soon. 

soon-ish.

probably!

a baby, a broken rule, and a quick before and after

Bumbo time with Daddy!

I don't even know why this is a 'rule' of mine... but I usually steer clear of these super flared jeans with vans.  So, I got all crazy one night, and just went for it.  I know, right?!  Living so close to the edge! 

This one's for you, elaine!

And then i was having so much fun with the tripod, that Dallie wanted in.  It took about 5 tries to get a photo of both of us. 

 Before:

(Doesn't it look like one of those Where's Waldo books?!)

After:



m.i.a.

Tyson wrote this description of what has been happening to our little Dahlia for our family blog.  Here is why we have been missing in action.

This poor girl has had a tough time since her hemangioma (big, puffy birthmark) ulcerated almost two months ago. This happens to a very small percentage of babies. We've learned around 10% of babies get hemangioma s (which are benign; they run their course and go away over time) but an even smaller percentage of those babies have them ulcerate, which is, according to our pediatrician/dermatologist, one of the most painful things that can happen to a baby. It's up there with third degree burns... hence the "poor girl." After a lot of dr. visits and failed attempts at remedying her heartbreakingly painful condition we finally found an ointment used for diabetics with foot ulcers that seems to be doing the trick.
