Bowling part 2

Aloha.

So back to the bowling alley. Let's see how we're all doing...

Waiting is always better with a friend!


"What? Get that camera outta here!"


"Cheese!"


"Forget bowling. Now... We dance!" (I didn't realize my kid looked like a baseball player here! Lovely)


I was winning at one point... but it didn't last.


"Ring around the rosy..."


"...we all fall DOWN!"


Sonya says Zoey wasn't beating Ava up... you be the judge. Ha! ;-)





Looks to me like Zoey walks away ... "1 more win on my record chumps!"


Alas, we're all friends still by the end of it. Albeit I can't keep my eyes open apparently!


And for Ava's 1st bowling experience, mama even showed up! And Zoey just loved her!


"Horsey, horsey!"

So there you have it. Bowling. Thanks to Sonya and Zoey for the idea. We had a great time. I'm trying to take my camera with me wherever we go. Hopefully I'll get more pics up often. We love to go to playgrounds. Maybe I'll capture some of those moments too. Much love all.

Cheers.

Bikini, bikes... bowling!!

Aloha.


The other day Ava and I went for a walk/ride in her neighborhood. She wore her bike helmet. And a bikini!


Look dad, 1 hand!

Pushing up the hill. Too much to pedal :)

Pose!

Look dad, no hands!!

So Ava had her 1st experience at a bowling alley... check this out!

You are about to meet our friends Sonya (mom) and Zoey (daughter).

Ava & Zoey figuring out the ball return...


"This one's mine? I don't think the 8# will work. I need a 12er."


Sonya teaching Zoey how to bowl. That's how she does it :)

There it goes...


...down the lane...


... such concentration!


"Okay. So, can I just walk it down the lane?"

"Look dad! I laid an egg!"


Waiting patiently. (Seriously, ever waited for a 4 year old's roll?!)


Still waiting...

So that's part 1. I'll being you more soon. I must say, it's good to be back.

Part 2 includes a surprise visitor! Much love. Cheers.

Getting ready

Aloha.

So, after MONTHS AND MONTHS of silence, I'm going to try and update this blog. First of all, you may or may not know this, but Ava's mama and I are no longer married. We are still cooperative, collaborative partners as Ava's parents. And no matter what happened or what you may have heard, Becky and I are working together very hard to make Ava's life as full, stable and happy as it can be. We respect each other as parents, and our daughter is our focus. So now you know. And that's a big reason why the blog has suffered.

So with that said, I'll be organizing photos and taking more (hopefully) as I spend my time with Ava. Or you can join Facebook and see a bunch there!

Anyway, I'll work at getting pics up soon. Much love all.

Cheers.

BTW - Here's a recent video
