You know you all love Ping Pong

KT's personal love affair with ping pong started at a young age in the basement of her Sacramento home. Her dad installed a large ping pong table down there where low ceilings and storage items led to exciting and unexpected direction changes by the ball. It was as if there was a third player on that table. She practiced endlessly with anyone she could con into playing with her. The highlight of her career was the 4th of July, 2002 at the annual Tecklenburg's BBQ party where she beat TV three times in a row on an open table. She retired after that as the undefeated champion of the driveway.

Here's your chance to support a documentary about real Ping Pong Champions. KT's dear friend and roommate at U.C. Davis, Yen Le, is co-producer on this feature film. Join the members of the US Olympic Table Tennis team as they prepare and train for the games. This stunning documentary, however, won't be able to be finished without your support. Take this opportunity to be a part of this heartwarming story about American underdogs taking the ping pong world by storm. See the link below for a preview of the film and ways to become part of their journey.

Bunny

What can we say about this? We think the photographs speak for themselves.

White rabbit

Here is a short video of the bouncing rabbit.

Rubber ducky

SV really enjoyes the water as many of you know, but taking a bath with her toys is such a pleasurable activity for her. She really enjoyed the duck with rabbit ears as they fit perfectly in her mouth. We think she is starting to teeth again and we are on the lookout for more teeth now.

Froggy bowl

SV got a new bowl which uses suction to stick to her table, that way she can't tip it over (in theory). She enjoyed eating out of it with her hands, maybe too much. We weren't quite sure where all the sauce went, but we reckon that at least half of it was in her hair.

In the cot

Here are a few photographs of SV in her cot. We finally had to lower it to the toddler level because when she was pulling herself into a standing position we were scared that she might topple out.

The jailbird

The funny one

The serious one

Flowers and stripes

SV was enjoying herself after coming home from a bit of shopping. She really enjoyed the freedom to crawl around on the floor even before we had a chance to take off her hat.

Monday round up

Here are a few photographs from this past week or so.

Walking around the city as city rangers talked to a couple of guys

Sucking on the drawer knob which apparently looked a lot like a nipple

Brushing those teeth

SV is really interested in keeping her teeth clean. She is very fascinated with teeth brushing and toothbrushes in general. She even likes our new electric toothbrush and reaches for it so she can use it.
