The Moriyasus' visit and strawberry cream cake

The Moriyasus' came to visit and brought a strawberry cream cake!

Emi actually baked the cake.  Theo and Cima helped decorate with fresh berries from the farmers' market.

Trying on Daddy's Shoes

Melia seems to love shoes!  Trying on a pair of her dad's shoes.

The Ishiharas Return

The Ishiharas returned for Nicole's basketball tournament.  Melia was actually able to go to Aunty Nicole's last game (which her team won!) and took in her first sporting event.  We didn't take any pictures at the game, but the Ishiharas came over for dinner afterwards. 

 Melia loves Asian men!

Pool

For Melia's first birthday, her aunty Elaine sent a watermelon swim suit and an inflatable pool.  We had to wait for the weather to get warm enough, but it finally hit over 80 degrees so we set up Melia's pool.  She had a blast!  Thanks Aunty Elaine!

the pool has a mushroom top for shade.

 Finally willing to sit in the pool.

 Running out in the yard to warm up.

 Trying to drink the water.

The next day, Jason and her ran around in the sprinklers.

Subway

Following Myoga tradition, Melia is a huge fan of sandwiches.  Here she is enjoying a 3" turkey sub on wheat.

She soon decided she could eat it herself and didn't want my help.

 Yum!
