Photos from paradise

Jason and Amelia and baby Rostam recently returned from a two week visit to Maui. While we were huddling under dark and snowy skies they were playing in the surf and strolling in the sand and taking naps on the beach.

Choosing the perfect costume

As the grandchildren get older they become more and more involved in the making of their Halloween costumes. This year Yasent designed and made most of his cyborg creation. His mother did the make-up for this part man part machine creature.


Lucas is a very serious clone trooper.

Fortunately we were able to convince Maya to be Dorothy from Kansas since we bought the dress and shoes months ago. Last year she discarded a gorgeous ballerina/witch costume for something she dug out of the costume box.
I coudn't resist another gorgeous little girl. This is Anne as red riding hood with the cape I made out of old curtains.
