This was a wonderful little moment. Netta, with birthay balloon stapped to wrist, draws a rainbow with her baby (dressed in some new clothes) nearby.

Sorry, a little late (their birthday was October 8). Love these photos.

A couple weeks ago Art and Tsundi, our former neighbor and Art’s friends since birth, celebrated their birthday’s. They were born at the same hospital one day apart. Here they are at Tsundi’s birthday party, day 3,651 (Art) and 3,650 (Tsundi):

And on day one and two:

and while we’re here, some more photos from their years together!

And Tsundi with his grandmother Nima, our former neighbor. They invited our whole family to his birthday party a couple weeks ago, a smorgasbord of tasty Tibetan food (and karaoke).

can’t remember if I’ve posted this before, so…. A friend rents a boat all summer and we got invited to go tubing. FUN! THE FEAR WAS REAL!
