It has been a year since Kaya’s heart surgery and I am happy to say she is doing excellent. I am almost ready to give birth again, this time to baby Ava. It is uncomfortable for me to move about with the strong and slitherly Kaya. She can snake out of anybody’s arms.

The weather in Northern Arizona is gorgeous and we are just about to go to the park to meet Kaya’s cousin, Everette (18 months), and a few of his sassy gal pals.

The teacher has a nifty purple guitar with stickers.

Kaya in our fifties era tub. We have a twenties clawfoot tub as well.

Kaya has become a daddy’s girl.

The two bed buddies, Kaya and her Daddy. Don’t they look alike? I sleep alone with big bed pillows.
