Charlie Meets his Godparents

 

On Memorial Day weekend, Charlie's Godparents, Emily Gasner & Greg D'Amico, road-tripped down from San Francisco to meet their godson. They brought the whole crew- Kim, Josh, Caren & Adam. The crew actually managed to bring the San Francisco Fog with them, so our beach day turned into a front yard bonfire. Auntie Kim (pictured above) reminds us to stay hydrated when taking the baby for a walk, even on a cloudy day.  We had a big party on Memorial Day at the house and a pool Party at Greg's childhood home on Sunday, hosted by Sue and Great-GodFather, Dick D'Amico (pictured on the left, reading stories to Jude, Seth, and Veronica). The God Father takes a break from being the star of the party to give his Godson a bottle. Marson and Arabella still ask when Uncle Greg and Uncle Josh are coming back.  Soon we hope. 

My First Easter

I celebrated my first Easter today. I got dressed up in my new Crocodile outfit from MoMa and went to Mass at Santa Monica's Cathedral. It was so crowded that we sat in the auditorium and had a separate mass from the main church- complete with a band and singers. There was another outflow mass in the gym. It was packed! There were 2 other babies my age sitting right by me. We all pretty much behaved. But, I had a blow-out near the end and Daddy had to change my outfit in the parking lot. The priest was really nice and welcomed everyone and thanked us for coming-- no lectures about why a deluge of souls come on the holiday, just a warm welcome. We had a nice brunch on the beach after Mass at Casa Del Mar. Then, we went home and relaxed on a blanket in our front yard. It was a perfect day. We played lots of airplane and said hi to the neighbors walking by. Sophie the cat even hung out with us for awhile.

Spring is here!

I got back from my Colorado trip and found the Jasmine in full bloom. The whole neighborhood smells amazing and we do stop and smell the roses on our ambulatory outings.

Me and Daddy

Happy 4 month old baby!

First Trip to Colorado

I took my first vacation EVER to Crested Butte, Colorado. I flew in the plane with Mommy (Daddy was skiing with the Dartmouth boys in Vail). Mommy was worried about my ears, but I did fine. MoMa picked us up from airport in the Jeep and we rode up to the house. I got strapped into a red sled and went for my first ride on the mountain! I even got a ski pass for the 2007-2008 season. Later in the week, Daddy joined us. I spent lots of time relaxing by the fire. MoMa and Bart babysat me so Mommy and Daddy could go snow shoe and go out to dinner on a date. I played on the couch. I took naps in my bassinet. I can't wait to go back! I love the snow!!

Marson & Arabella

Marson & Arabella are the kids next door. Marson took care of Sophie when we went on vacation. He has a pet snake at home named Lightening, but he can still take care of the feline's. Marson and Arabella have a "circle park" outside their house with a climbing tree and swings. On special days, we walk outside and Andrew & Lisa (their parents) are throwing happy hour in the park while the kids play-- Marguerita's get passed around and everyone has fun. Last weekend Arabella turned 3. She had a pinata in the circle for her birthday party- that's Jude at bat. After the pinata there was a cake and Arabella blew all the candles out!
