BIG SINK

BIG SISTER LITTLE DOULA

Oona was by Mama's side the whole birth. She had told the midwife for the past few months that she was going to be the "catcher baby" (baby catcher). Boden was born on Tuesday 7:25 am at home in Topanga. Oona just adores him.

ALMOST A BIG SISTER

These pics were taken when mom was 38 weeks pregnant by Cynthia Perez.

BOW RIDING

BIG TENT BIG AIR

Oona is all about jumping these days. This is her third summer camping on Slocan, this year, we have a family size tent! We were with Deb and Miles, who were visiting from South Pasadena.

FISHING

Ok, I thought about cropping out from my belly button down, but art won over vanity. I'm only 6 months pregnant if you can believe it. Here we are on our way back from fishing.

BEACH BOUND

BOO

WEDDING PHOTOS

This is Oona and Ivy's wedding photo, I'm not sure who took it.

JET SET

Here's Oona on the flight up here eating peanuts watching Little Bear.

HOTEL

Oona and Oma built several "Ho-towels" this one features a pool big enough for Oona to sit in, and a doll size hot tub.

FLOATING

LIBERTY

One of Oona's favorite past times is dress-up. Here she is as the statue of liberty.

PINK and BLUE GUY

The Groundwaters came to visit, and Oona remembered their last visit in the winter, and called the girls by their winter jacket colors. "Where's the blue guy?"

DAY PARK

The water level was so high this year, that one of the only drive to beaches was Silverton Day Park.

WATER(MELON) GIRLS

Oona and Eden sharing a snack in between dips in the kiddie pool.

SUMMER

It was a long wait up in the Koots, but summer is finally here!

FAREWELL CHAR CHAR

Oona's best buddy Charlotte, and my best buddy Sabrina just moved to Palo Alto. This was their goodbye party. Boo hoo!

THE BIG SHOW

Oona had her first ballet recital at a theater at Pepperdine University here in Malibu. It was terribly cute and funny. Oona danced with Pocahontas who was sweet enough to carry her on and off stage in the dark.

DANCE

TULUM

We made an unexpected trip to Tulum, Mexico in April after our stints in Toronto, and NYC. Oona's on the beach with her dad outside our cabana, and at the ruins (notice the gigantic iguana blending into the background).

TORONTO IN APRIL
