Happy 5th Birthday Maya!

Birthday party hats are on, let us eat cake!

Dharma the helper... helping with everything... thank you Dharma.

U. Steve showering Maya with gifts.

The next series of photos tell a funny story... check out the faces on us.

Calm..

Candles blown out, but not by Maya.  Who looks suspicious?

Maya pointing her finger and death rays at me.?... or maybe that was directed at Ethan who has conveniently left the scene.

Everyone is happy again... for the moment anyway.

The party is over.

What a wonderful weekend, full of good company and good food!

Happy New Year!

We wish everyone a happy and healthy new year... a year full of patience and prosperity... a year full of wonder and joy!

I have added some action photos from Christmas morning.  Unfortunately, we have no photos from our New Year's Eve festivities... one of movies and treats, the kids in bed by 8pm, more movies and more treats (belly hurting by this point), and finally Todd and I hittin' the sack by 10:30pm.  Oh, we were a lively bunch that night.   ;0)

The photos are random... completely random... I think Blogger should work on a user friendly layout..  I just want to keep things organized and systematic... a world where photos come after greetings and photos are in an order dictated by me.  

New Year's Resolution #1:  don't hold on to the negative, just let it go!

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!

Photos to come someday.  

Happy 2nd Birthday to Dharma...

A little late on the post.  Dharma celebrated his 2nd birthday on November 23rd.  We had 3 birthday parties, as we do every year for each child.  We celebrate all weekend long... and sometimes all week long.  Lots of cake and yummy food.  I did most of the baking this year... and I think the cakes turned out pretty good (I substituted eggs with Apple Cider Vinegar).

No fun designs this year for Mr. D's cakes and cupcakes, but I did add some Chocolate Nascar Race Cars around the cake.  ;0)  I think the kids approved.  Anything chocolate usually goes in this house.

Vegan Lunches for kids

I decided to start a journal of some of the lunches that I have prepared for my Daycare children.  Here are a few different plates, all balanced in nutrition.  Mostly Organic, Vegan, and Yummy!
