Right after my visit to Ranee’s, I headed down the street to meet up with Steph, Nathan, and Vivian for her 1st birthday portraits. 
This red two-piece was from the Bahamas and has been worn by her older cousins when they were her size and passed down to her.
The second outfit was a birthday gift and the purple in the dress really complimented her skin color.
I went to Ranee’s house on Sunday morning to take some portraits of Avia. She’s 3 weeks old now and has grown so much already! 
Little Vivian turned One last week and we celebrated this afternoon at a park in Walnut Creek. The weather was warm with a nice breeze and Stephanie had a great spot in the shade and in between the two playground structures.
Vivian really enjoyed her birthday cake: angel food cake with whipped cream and strawberry.
Henry didn’t get any cake but he really loves his aunties and his newly-introduced puffs.
It was nice seeing the kids together and Vivian has really grown so much. Hard to believe she’s not a baby anymore.
Pretty soon she’ll be walking, talking, and blowing bubbles like this kid I know.
Henry turned 6 months last week and Teresa wanted photos of him. So, they came over on Sunday morning and we headed out to Brannan Street Wharf for a quick photoshoot. Henry was so smiley and in a great mood.

This year, I worked on July 4th and it actually wasn’t too bad. We had a good group of therapists working and it was a lot more laid back than a usual day. 
Henry and Aaron also stopped by at lunch so that gave us a nice little break in the day.
Meanwhile, Jes took Kumquat for a ride on the train to get to Jason and Jia’s house in Redwood City. I got this photo sent to me with a text saying “Peace out, suckas.”
I drove straight down to Redwood City from work and after enjoying some ribs, corn, and ice cream, we sat down and watched fireworks on tv. It was such a nice way to end the day. It sure beats having to fight traffic and crowds.
I got a text from Ranee on Saturday afternoon saying that she was going in to the hospital due to some minor complications. They decided to do a c-section that night and Baby Avia Ema was born! On Monday, I went to visit them in the hospital and it was so fun to see a newborn again. 
She was so small next to big sister Sophie. Ranee looked great and the baby was already eating like a champ.
