My sister and her husband and their almost-one-year-old drove all the way from the Bay Area to San Diego, stayed for two days, then drove back up to LA for the little one’s first birthday party at the in-laws’ house. It’s too tiring for me to make that journey for the party, so I’m extremely grateful to them for making the extra journey to see us SD folks!

We spent one day just hanging out and chatting and trying the make the baby EAT something, lol. She was very distracted by the cat (so soft and fascinating) and all the unfamiliar people. She has just learned to walk, so naturally she walked non-stop around and around and around the living room! And tried to eat the cat’s dry food whenever we stopped watching her for a split second. Yum? Sweet girl! Here she is in the cotton lace dress I knit for her:

The next day we went to the fair. First we looked at the big Beatles exhibit and posed on the life-size Abbey Road crosswalk:

Then we ate (Roxy!) and looked at the woodworking and the animals and the slicer-dicers and watched the Swifty Swine pig races. It was a long and tiring day, but very very fun!
