Happy First Birthday! (9/14/07)
A bunch of folks came into town to celebrate the first birthday on September 14, including Aunt Trudi, Matt and Jess, Grampa Bull, and the usual gangs from Modesto and Fresno. Charlotte got her first taste of sugar, but generally cranked through the festivities. There was a large haul of gifts and a wickedly fought game of croquet.

July
hanging out on the hammock
We took the kid out for her first swim at our friend's pool in Santa Monica -- it was a little rugged at first, but before long she clung to her octopus like a pro

Charlotte's best buds Doris, Stephanie and Katey moved to Houston, which was sad for us all, but we'll see them again.
GOOD LUCK IN TEXAS!

the new yorkers
a little after we got back to LA, my mom and Allan came for a visit -- Charlotte got some new outfits (de rigueur)
later, Mom read Big Red Barn to her, but she seemed distracted, while Allan tried to get her into Isaac Babel, whose individualistic voice raised high against the forces of tyranny and repression seemed to strike a chord in her ten-month old soul

on the way back from mendocino, we made a quick pitstop in Modesto (and Charlotte just happened to be wearing another of the outfits Rebecca made for Erin)
Mendocino - mid-July
It's been a long time since the last post -- we've been moving around a lot, paying and receiving visits. Here are some shots from Mendocino where we rented a cabin in July on a ridge over the ocean. Charlotte was not totally into the hiking scene, but she seemed to like the beach, the seagulls in particular. It was a nice break from the heat, we relaxed and Peter and Maria stayed at a nearby B and B for awhile so they could spell us and get some quality time with kid. She got to feed the goats there.
