Were they ever that little?

I found some old files from our old webpage.  Pictures abound.

This is Vi from a camping trip to Mt. Diablo.  Vi LOVED that purple flashlight, my god, did she ever.

Wow. This is me at Viola's preschool for the end-of-the-year picnic.  That would have been 2003- beginning of June.  That's Ave and she would have been about 3-4 months old.  Yes, yes, look at that hair... how fabulous is that.  Yes, that was back in the day when I wore my hair exactly the same way I'd had it since... high school? Heh.  Lord.

One of my all-time favorite pictures of Ave.  Man, was she a cutie or what?  So funny because she never had half as much hair as Vi and even now, hers is so much lighter and finer than Vi's.

And, of course the best picture ever of Vi and Lila the pig who she used to follow around constantly at the ranch.  Yes, it was a luxurious life.

Vi on a hike up Mission Peak.  There is real photographic evidence that I schlepped that baby Avery all the way up there in the front pack.  That was a fabulous day even if it did take us forever to get up there.  Pretty fantastic.
