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!

Trying on the watermelon swim suit.

the pool has a mushroom top for shade.

 Finally willing to sit in the pool.

 Running out in the yard to warm up.

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!

Quality time with Daddy

Melia's getting to the age where she is beginning to mimic us.  It's amazing how much she can comprehend these days.  Here are her and Jason enjoying the morning paper.

 Yep, she's over it.

Not so much mimicking, but I thought it was cute they were both wearing purple.

Professional Pictures

We had pictures taken from Frank Ha, who also did our six month pictures.  He is so talented and loves to do this as a hobby.  We took these pictures at the Jenkin's Estate, which has beautiful grounds.  Needless to say, these pictures turned out amazing.
