Grandmaster Sequoia

"You wanna take me on?" the smug baby inquires.
The answer is: Oh, helllllllll no, you're goingta get served by my mad chess skills. Let me break it down for you:



Sequoia and her double chin concur on the wisest approach.



With her ruthless strategem in play, Sequoia looks her opponent in the eye while executing a wicked checkmate.



Sequoia gleefully bathes in her fallen opponents.

Sequoia's first meal

Sequoia enjoys her first bite of food for the second time.

Sequoia's first first communion

Sequoia tutors her parentage

Envious of Sequoia's aerodynamic cranium, pater familias Dan mimics Sequoia's subtle hairstyle.


Trendsetting Sequoia teaches the lady of the house the newest lounge move combining a hearty chest thrust and easy smile.

Pygmy Sequelephant

The Pygmy Sequelephant is a fickle and reclusive beast whose natural behavior vacillates from blythe tranquility to frantic fussing.


In its native habitat the Sequelephant glides elegantly grooming the tender shoots of the suburban grasslands.


Sensing nearby danger, the Sequelephant rapidly ambles throught the thickening underbrush.


The Sequelephant squirms uncomfortably as Stephanie of the Savanna is doubly attacked by the nostril-drawn Ticklegrass and the cerebrum sucking Airoctopus.

Sequoia finds her tongue

Sequoia's tongue demurely emerges.



The emboldened muscle further encroaches outward causing disgruntlement amongst Sequoia's facial feature community.



With the tongue now completely uncontrolled Sequoia endeavors to enlist her hands assistance.



Sequoia's defeated eyelids reluctanltly drop to half mast as Sequoia's mouth and tongue relax into a taunting smirk.

Sequoia and the easter tales

Securely seated on her great grandmother's supportive lap during a blissful easter Sunday Sequoia is enraptured by her great uncle Jim's tales of adventure and adversity.



Sequoia dutifully responds with her own tale of woe "The day the diaper overfloweth". Uncle Jim politely settles in and pretends to listen.

Sequoia anticipates Easter

Sequoia searches the heavens above for the answer to that burning question "When, oh when, will Easter arrive?"



Ever the festive infant, Sequoia leaps into the Easter spirit as her feet swell with excitment to gargantuan proportions.

Pea Baby and the Spring Inspection

Spring has arrived and that gentle guardian of the garden "Pea Baby" is busy readying her charges for the season.



" All right you chard," barks Pea Baby " Frost time is over and I wanna see you looking your best. I'll have no shaggy leaves in MY garden patch."



As Pea Baby berates the chard, her trusty sidekick Stephanie blythely serenades an aging collard.



A message from Pea Baby: Peas require both sustinance and discipline. Take control of your garden before your garden takes control of you.



Having completed a super job on her vegetable patrols, Pea Baby rests securely in her leafy Foliage of Solitude.

Moooooooo!

Sequoia basks in the contentment of her happy california cow comrades.



Sequoia is suddenly dumbfounded by the massive magnitude of the bovine bounty surrounding her.



Sequoia supports the dairy industry.



Calf with a Laugh
by Nancy Hover
(as per Stephanie's memory)

I once asked a calf
How to make half and half
But the calf said he didn't know how.
Milk and cream,
Said the calf with a laugh,
Come from my mom the cow.
