Cue Muffled Laughter from the Living Room

This is what happens when Daddy is DONE. FOR. THE. NIGHT.

Brian: What are you doing out of bed?

Ava: I have to go to the bathroom! Really!

Brian: Then hurry up and go. You don't want to pee yourself when I spank you.

Iced Coffee and a Slice of Heaven

That's what I'm having for lunch today. We are Spencer's beach, about 20 minutes from my mom's house in Kamuela. It's a shallow, sheltered beach - almost akin to a lagoon - with hardly any waves, soft golden sand and water that is warmer than the air. It is a post card day, warm but not hot, a lovely temperate breeze blowing in from the surf. Jack and Ava are frolicking in the waves and Cate is collecting lava rocks and some kind of seed pod from a nearby tree.
We may never leave.

Shhhhhh! Don't Tell!

She wants to surprise Tutu, but her big kid tooth is coming in fast, so I'm afraid that cute little space won't be there by the time we arrive.......

I feel pretty.....

..... oh so pretty!

Ava was feeling especially lovely this morning and requested that I take a picture of her so that Tutu could see. So here you go Tutu!
