Fun in the tub- October 17, 2007

Little messy dude....

Pasha practices new things he can do with his face every day. This is one of his favorite new expressions- a cross between surprise, disbelief and great delight! He only says about 4-5 words but babbles and makes noises incessantly. However, on October 12th, his teacher Lisa swears he said (clear as a bell) : "I want a nana"....his first sentence of course concerning food!

Visit from Aunt Anna- big fun!

Fall Fiesta

We enjoyed fiesta in santa fe with friends Kelly Alex and Amory- Amory was decked out like a princess and I think looked prettier than the fiesta queen...no offense to the fiesta queen. At the top is Pasha at his first museum visit- we saw egyptian ruins! Cool!

Aunt Jamie and Uncle Harvey come to visit

Grove's sister Jamie and brother in law Harvey came all the way from DC to visit their new nephew...and it was mutual love at first sight! We had a barbq with Maya, Cisco, Joe and all of us- it was great. Hopefully, Jamie and Harvey will come back to visit again soon...or , I don't know, maybe buy a place here?

First road trip!

We also had a visit from good friends Deidre and Hayden Shearer.....all at my mom's new house in Lakewood, CO. We had a wonderful trip.....from the top- all the neices plus Hayden and Deidre; The Family; Pasha playing Mozert's concerto 21 in B flat; the hula hula girls, Lily and Savanna; and hanging with his mom at a mexican food restaurant

End of summer at Vallecitos

Pasha had a wonderful summer up at the ranch doing some of his favorite things: driving the truck, lassoing horses, "peacing out" at the river, and hanging with his parents andnew friends. This photo is of Pasha with Steve Smith, who became best pals immediately.....

Pasha at the International Folk Art Market-July 2007

Summer fun in santa fe

Pasha is now walking 100% of the time. He is very wobbly and falls somewhere around 75 times a day....but he is determined. Its been a glorious summer here- lots of afternoon rain showers and many fun things to do!

More summer in santa fe...

Here we are at an outdoor concert where Pasha insisted on us not taking away his beer, hanging out with his dad, and in a showdown over the ball. Finally, a photo of him catching rays at the pool.

summer visitors

We've been blessed with many visitors this summer....not really to see us, but to see Pasha! Its been a blast so thank you to all who have come so far. Here is our dear friend Stacy M. from Austin, cousin Teresa Beckers and dog Gracie from Brenham, Texas and Beth and Alan Fedman from D.C.
