Wedding weekend in Napa- Part II
On March 22nd, my sister, Susannah, and her fiance, Tony, finally tied the knot in St. Helena, Napa Valley, CA. Grove officiated and their 4 daughters were the wedding party. It was a gorgeous wedding with perfect weather and in a perfect setting. We had a really wonderful time with both families! Congratulations to Susannah and Tony Macaluso- a match made in heaven! The best part is that Grove and I now have 6 adorable neices. Here are some photos from the rehearsal.....
One year anniversary with Pasha....
On March 23rd, we spent a gorgeous spring day in the garden of Wendy Johnson and her husband Peter, and on Muir Beach in California. It was Pasha's first glimpse of the ocean and the one year anniversary from the day we first met Pasha in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan. We've come a long way, baby!
Big snow at Vallecitos Mountain Refuge
The ranch had more than 5 feet of snow....and Pasha loved it. He falls asleep on the snow mobile and loves walking and playing in the snow. We had a wonderful long weekend there. It was really gorgeous!
Very bad hair cut
In February, Mama took Pasha to get his hair cut at Great Clips (NEVER GO THERE!!!)...the result was a sort of shag-mullett. Truly, the worst hair cut we had ever seen. We told Pasha that he had a terrible hair cut, and he would shout back with excitement, "TEAR BULL, TEAR BULL !!"

Jenny and Grove- New Year's Eve 2007
We had a great New Year's eve dinner with Bob, Dawn, John and Mona Loewen in Santa Fe. Thank you to Lucy and Will Loewen for baby sitting. A great start to what we hope will be a great year for all of us! Blessings and love to you all!
New Year's at the Vallecitos Ranch
We spent new year's day and the following 4 days at the ranch. It was a winter wonderland! Pasha got to go on his first snow mobile ride. We were afraid he would be afraid, but he didn't make a peep! We skiied, hiked, sledded and got a lot of rest. It was truly wonderful!
First Christmas- 2007
We had a really wonderful first christmas with Pasha! We went to lots of parties and saw many great friends. Pasha also got to go sledding for the first time with the Loewens. He loved opening his presents and all the snow. We had a very special christmas night with Jerry, Susie, Wilile, Kim and new baby Audrey!!!
More traveling in December
Continuing his jet- set lifestyle, Pasha went to Los Angeles to visit Marilyn, Avery and Sebastian. These first two pictures are of Pasha and Avery taking a bath. We then went to Austin to see good friends! Here is Pahsa with Will Loewen dancing the night away. The last picture is from the lunch we had with Kit and Allen Spelce, and their kids, Carson and Zach (aka Power Ranger!). Pasha really likes to travel and had a ball on both trips (and so did his parents)!
November- first hair cut and first snow!!
Pasha got his first haircut, which he hated...... and experienced his first snow while in Denver for Thanksgiving, which he loved (despite this picture with Uncle Bo)!
