beach bums

Kiana has been growing and changing faster than she can dirty a diaper. She is now the proud owner of two gleaming white bottom teeth! She is working on the crawling thing, and I'm sure will be a real handful after having completed that feat.

These shots were taken last weekend, on the majestic south coast of Java. I'd be happy to show additional photos of Indonesia upon request. Kiana takes after her dad in her love for the ocean - evident in her shrieks of excitement while taking a dip in the warmth of the Indian Ocean. She is able to say "mama and dada" but I have yet to be convinced that she realizes the connection.

I really appreciate all of the emails coming our way - if I'm slow to respond, please forgive.

Now for some bad news - I have lost my wedding ring. I've looked everywhere to no avail. Due to it being white gold, I'm sure someone picked it up and thought it to be silver. What I don't understand is how someone could actually find it useful - as it has my name engraved on the inside, not to mention the fact that it's much too large for most of the Indonesians to wear.

The good news - you may have noticed that the site's archives and comment sections haven't been working for some time. I have taken the time to iron out these problems, so feel free to comment away! I know, this has absolutely no bearing on my wedding ring. You thought I was going to tell you that I found it huh? Not a chance in this place.
