The second of five girls and the fourth of 10 children, this is my middle sister's daughter, Chaya. She's been on holiday visiting my family until some of us go to her oldest brother's wedding later this month in Canada.
Mattie & i (and Heidi one day as well) have been pleasantly occupied taking her around San Diego County. The top two photos were taken in Coronado, the bottom one in La Jolla.

What sweet pics! Looks like you guys all had a great weekend. Is'nt nice when you can spend time with family like that? wow, ten kids! That's going to be quite the wedding with all of the family. :)
I'll have to take a look at that .pdf file about nutrition for athelets. The trainers at the gym are always asking if I'm getting enough protein. They just can't beleive that I can work out and not eat meat.
the girl is so cute! looks so sweet! love the photos!
Mattie is very , very cute!
wishing you a good time with your family!
Chaya is beautiful. Your family has good genes.
Hope you're doing okay, Kleo.
omg, those dogs are just the cutest things.
It must have been so nice to have your beautiful niece visiting you. And the pictures are so gorgeous. Please, please, can I be transported to CA for just a few minutes on the beach?...
You are surrounded by beauty, cuteness, and love! ;-)
Chaya is very pretty, great photos.
Ten kids....wow, as an only child that is beyond my comprehension. It must be great fun when everyone is together.
Your niece is so beautiful & the picture is complete with the ocean & the girls. Must be wonderful to have family close and it sounds like you have some happy events coming up. ahhh, La Jolla! & it's great to see you, Kleo. :o)
Your niece is beautiful! Looks like you had a fun weekend.

Your dog loves to be babied, huh? So cute. I wish I was out there by teh water! Cherie
Your neice has a lovely face, how great to be sharing time with her.
So special to rediscover your local area through new eyes.
Mattie is so so sweet. Such a happy baby!
Your niece is gorgeous...runs in the family!
Wow, I didn't know you had so many siblings!! Lucky you! I only have one sister, so the idea of a big family sounds really great to me!
Thanks for the comment today on my blog. With Mattie's and your hugs, we are sure to get better here!! :)
Thanks for your comment on my blog, as always.;-) I really appreciated it.
Chaya is a beautiful name! And Mattie is looking lovely, as always.
You're coming to Canada later this month?! Woo hoo! The great Kleo arrives! If you're going to be in Toronto, let me know - I'll send you a list of all the veggie places you must frequent.
Your pictures make me want to go to the beach. Thanks for the sports nutrition link. As an aspiring dietician, I find information like that very interesting.
those dogs get the love, don't they?
wow it sounds like you have HUGE family. i didn't know that
cool!
Great pictures! I wish the weather around here was more like that...and I love your niece's name!
I'm glad you and Mattie and Chaya are having a nice time. Chaya... that's such a beautiful name!
your parents are adorable too!
beef fat? that's disgusting.
i hav emixed feelings about the girl in the article. if everyone gave up one meat meal a day the world wuold be a differnt place. if she eats meat once in a great while becuase she loves it so much, then i guess that's better than eating it 3 meals a day? i just wish she didn't end her article liekthat.
The photos of your niece and the "kids" are adorable. She is so beautiful. And I love her name. Chaya! What are her siblings names? Ok, you really don't have to tell me if you don't want to. :)
Your note to have a healthy and upbeat week struck a cord in me. I am going to write that on my mirror. Those are two things I strive for on a daily basis.
I hope you are doing well. I've missed you and blogland these past couple of weeks.
your neice is SO CUTE!
Great pics!!! ;)
and thanks for the link for athletes. I am only one in my dreams but I am keeping the hope alive!!
