July 18th 2006 - Kaya is 1 !!!!!!!

A gift from the Tooth Fairy for her 1st birthday!

Me 1 years old...ahhh shucks

Celebrating in style with a Sacher torte sent by Omi directly from Austria

Blowing out a candle is harder than it looks

What is it that you are all trying to get me to do?

Me and my great uncle Lloyd

Cousins and more cousins

The obligatory spoiling by grandma

What is wrong with you people? Can't you get it together long enough to take one group photo? Are you all ReALly related to me?!?!?!

What better way to turn 1 than at the beach!

Is that a beaver? Crazy Canadian wildlife.

Already in gear for year #2 - let it roll

Eat my dust Daddy!

Will someone turn the light green already, I'm revved up and ready to start this race!
(yes, everything IS a competition, well that is what mommy has been teling me anyway)

We're BBBBAAAACCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!

Hi, well we've been living with dial up internet for the past few weeks, meaning that posting pictures on the blog has been a near impossible task, unless one has heaps of extra time to waste and oodles of patience. But by the end of the week we should be back in the land of highsoeedIcanpostaphotowithoutwantingtohurlthecomputeratthewall so there will be a bunch of backlogged photos to be seen.

We're getting used to life on this side of the Atlantic: the 65 choices of breakfast cereal, spending half our lives in a car trying to get somewhere and the friendliness (have stopped giving strangers the evil eye when they talk to me).

Kaya isn't walking yet but has been busying herself with mastering the art of stair climbing and the famed bouncing descent and annoying Zipper the family dog.
