spring has come .. and gone!!

oh my, but it has been a while, hasn't it?!!? spring has come and almost gone by now!! and i realize that i actually never updated the last post with more pictures! well, things have been sort of busy .. what with me trying to get the website up, once and for all!!! thankfully, i am not doing it alone, but with the very helpful guidance of my friend super dave. [thanks dave!!]

in the meantime .. here are a few snaps from my niece's 1st birthday party that we had for her back in april. the overall feeling of the party was one of organic growth, life and spring. the location is orange hill restaurant in the city of orange, in orange county. i know, lots of oranges in that sentence! ha.
