BIG FOOT!

Literally - The Fortes Toe!

Visiting Chris and Mike!

We visited Chris and Mike in September. Chris is my roommate from college, he and Yvonne and I lived together in Mustang Village. He and Mike got married (again) during the summer and celebrated their marriage on October 19 - there 13th Anniversary...which also happened to be a certain princess's birthday (see other post.) Mike is not in the photo because he was off making a real estate deal in Mill Valley! Chris cooked lunch, homemade carnitas and corn salad - it was fantastic.

And..We also...

Visited Sue in Pismo Beach. She does Search and Rescue with her dog Jackson. It was a short, but very sweet visit! For some strange reason.....hhmmmm...we do not have any pictures of us with Brad and Nathan....but we were there and they graciously hosted is.

Flashback to August....A Late Addition!

We visited Ojai in August and have been pretty much insane since then chasing around a baby that suddenly walks and keeping up with John's art openings, work, cleaning the house..(.at least some of the time.) Sharon gave Coco her first doll, which you can see in a previous post. I met Sharon and Jerry when I lived next door to them on Signal Street in Ojai in 2003 or so. That's where my my lovely dog Buddy died, but also where I found Oliver, discovered Yoga and met the most wonderful people. Sharon and Jerry were among them....I miss them and there wonderful family!

Coco's First Hair Cut!

In late SeptemberMiguel of Oz in Benicia gave Coco her first haircut. As with most things, she was simply curious and was checking it all out.

Post Birthday Presents....

Coco loved her new play table from Cousin Ava and Uncle Jay and Auntie Laurie that she climbed right up into it!

Coco's First Birthday!

Coco turned 1 on September 9! Her first birthday after a year of so many firsts. Daddy made her a felt crown and I made her a bear cake and she got lots of presents that make sounds and light up, she was so ecstatic i thought she might need a sedative! She enjoyed the cake so much she got a bath and a wardrobe change, though her hair took days to recover!
