i love looking back at old photos of the kids. i thought i’d look at some from a year ago.

so much changes in a year.

they grow so fast.

here’s anya in 2008 and in 2009 – still smiling

here’s stella in 2008 and 2009 – still a petite little thing

stella is almost 2. i can’t get over it. where did my baby go?

busy days means not a lot of time spent blogging.

but, i wanted to share some photos from a recent trip we took to the san ramon kite and wind festival.
though i didn’t take any photos of kites (or wind for that matter)

i did get these pictures of anya on the airplane ride.

she wasn’t having any fun. not at all.

i love this one of john throwing stella in the air.

or catching her out of the air.

depends on how you look at it.

stella really loved the purple balloon.

really, really, loved it.

it was a fun family day.
