Valentine's

This was Myla on Valentine's Day. The shirt says "love" but the face says "what you lookin' at, chump?"

A Child of the Communication Age

"Better yet, let's webcam 'em!"

Da! Dee!


In the last couple of weeks I've had to travel a lot, so Matthew and Myla have had a lot of daddy-daughter time. I really appreciate him and the extra work he has to do when I'm gone (although Myla did her part by sleeping through the night most nights!). He's such an incredible dad, and Myla and I are both lucky to have him. I can tell she agrees by the big grin that breaks out on her face whenever he comes in the room.


One of my favorite sounds is to hear Myla say "Da! Dee!" I don't really think she knows what she's saying, but it seems to be her favorite syllable combination. So, so sweet.

More Nana and Pop in Myla's future

Yesterday my dad announced his retirement from coaching girls' high school basketball after 24 years and 548 wins. We're so proud of him and my mom, who has spent many long hours in gyms and school buses as well! Here are two great articles in The News Enterprise about his retirement. I especially love the second, with quotes from former players and colleagues. It's great how many different players mention what Dad taught them about priorities.

Congratulations, Mom and Dad.

Family, players, coaches weigh in on Buckles' departure

Happy St. Patty's!

Here is Myla in her St. Patrick's Day outfit. While she looks cute in it, we discovered one morning that the neck hole may be a bit too big. This doesn't look quite right . . .

It's Photo Week Time Again!

It's been about a week and a half since we've posted, which is a bit longer than we like to go. So, to make up for it, there will be a new post for the next seven days in a row!

We'll start off with Myla's 9-month photo. The pictures are definitely more, shall we say, "spirited" than they've been in the past. Unfortunatley I got delayed on my flight back from Merced,CA, and didn't make it home before Myla went to bed. This meant that Matthew had to take the photos himself, and he had a hard time getting a much-more-mobile Myla in the picture with the sign at the same time. In the end, he ended up taping the sign to things and trying to get her to stay in front of it. Here are the results:

Teasing Myla with Her Pacifier

Myla found this game with her pacifier really funny, so I tried to catch it on video. I know it's a bit shaky but that's what happens when you try to hold the camera with one hand and tease your daughter with the other.
