eye of the tiger

City of Angels for family, food, and little gilded envelopes

filled with fresh bills for the New Year.

silver surprise party

mama and daddy turn twenty-five

height ain't nothin' but a number

disgruntled baby

happy baby (because of my cupcake)

to another twenty-five years!

a few of my favorite things: Người Đẹp, fire, and cake

our house

christmas morning on santa's lap

teeny friends at birch aquarium

kimee in a shark's mouth

bread pudding baked for the family, eaten solely by yours truly

daddy found the slide projector! visions from our family vacation to puerto rico (not pictured: sierra, due to nonexistence at the time)

my room with a view

balboa international market produce(s)

kimee captured the beloved rainfall quite elegantly

mama and i planted a flower bed in the front yard! i love home depot.

mama's planted and thriving beets

There is a magic in that little world, home; it is a mystic circle that

surrounds comforts and virtues never known beyond its hallowed limits.
