Amara:

"I drew a picture of me and you daddy. It's me and you walking under the sun, mommy and Kai stayed home so we could just walk together because I love you daddy." -- This is now, my most favorite drawing ever.

262nd Face

Another one from Amara's camera. This is quite an expression.

261st Face

Amara is a tough kid to wake up.

256th, 257th, 258th, 259th AND 260th Face(s) Yeesh

In honor of the month, here's a throw back to Amara as chicken when she was 2 and a half. She's the one saying "She's got candy...I want candy!"

Speaking of going back in the photo archive, here's a fun one from 1998 (+ -) when Lynette and I drove up to Oregon to be a part of Brad (Roxanna's son's) wedding. Here we are with a bunch of Clapes family members on a Hellgate Jet Boat Excursion. Help me out here if you recognize any of these folks.
In the front row (closest to the bow) left to right is (one of Karen's kids), Kimberly, Boyd (son of Roxanna), and Roxanna. Second row left to right; Toni, (another of Karen's kids) Karen (daughter of Roxanna), Debbie and Christopher (on her lap).
Next row is...a family unrelated and unknown.
Next row L 2 R: Harriet Clapes' sister, Harriet Clapes and Roxy Clapes (Lynette's grandmother and grandfather - also Roxanna's mom and dad), Jeff and Lynette.
I don't know anybody else in the rest of the boat and so will move on to the next photo.
A recent one of Kai. Here he is saying "What do you mean, 'all done'?"
I spoke at Fairy Tale Town in Sacramento on Sept 27th. That was fun, but more fun to give a drawing demo to the kids in attendance.
Going back in time again: Lynette and Jeff dancing at John's wedding. There's Roger in the lower left.
That should get us all caught up...I think...

255th Face

Nuts! Did it again. I'll play catch up in while. For now, look in your mail boxes for the invite below.
Happy birthday (almost) Kai!!!
