Walking the halls of academia

Dinner with Dad 

Our little GRRRRL (glad I still have these fingers to type with).

The advantage of having neighbors with a pool

The three stooges 

In the blink of an eye. 

Rivi is one year old.


Rivi's second first birthday.


 

Rivi's first first birthday. This is not a typo.

 

The many face of Rivi...

Enough!!! 

Pinery Provincial Park, Ontario
It's not the Jersey shore, but the beaches of Lake Huron aren't so bad.

Fun in the sun (and sand)

Oh my gosh, there is a snake down there.

Balance beam practice 

We took Rivi to an outdoor reggae concert Thursday night and thought she'd be lulled to sleep by the music - yeah right

Here Rivi is sporting her new hat from Monica and Kevin - thanks guys. 

Through the window.

Let me pencil you in for lunch.

We had a stowaway.

Skies of blue, clouds of white.

Corn-ered (Corny?) 

It was Canada Day (July 1st). Rivi wore something red, showing partial patriotism. Total patriotism also requires wearing white. Super-patriotism means you only wear red and white, or better yet, you only wear a Maple Leaf toga.

We have no lawn. Rivi mowed it.

Rivi climbed into the cubby. Then she tried standing up, over and over. We still don't know what she was trying to do, though there was a definite (though probably impossible) goal.
