Lost Tooth

Skyler lost her second tooth this last weekend. She was wiggling it while we were sitting in the jacuzzi watching the sunset and it popped out. She was so excited since she had been waiting a long time for this one. In fact, her grown up tooth had been growing in behind it for several weeks, we called them her "shark teeth". Skyler has a special pillow case that has a little pocket just the right size for a tooth, Nana sewed it for her last year. Trixie is the name of the Tooth Fairy that comes to visit Skyler, and this time she left a dollar all folded up tight.

Wizard & The Sorceress

Skyler has been taking ballet classes for 2 years at Seattle Civic Dance Theatre in West Seattle. Twice each year they put on a performance at the Highline Performing Arts Center. Summer 2005 performance was called The Wizard & The Sorceress. Skyler and her class were the "Rainbows". And as with all elite prima-ballerina's.... she received her bouquet of flowers at the end of the evening.

Maui in May 2005

Skyler and Greg on the beach at sunset, a nightly ritual for us. Especially nice when we had rum drinks with pretty umbrella's delivered to us right on the beach. Nothing better.


Skyler really turned into a little beach babe that week, but we finally had to get her a UV-protected swim shirt because her skin wasn't quite ready for the full impact of the Maui sunshine.
