About three weeks ago we went up north to the foothills east of Sacramento for my sister’s 30th birthday. My parents threw a great pool party at the house of some long-time family friends and all of Auntie Michelle’s friends were there. Charlie especially enjoyed the toy area that our friends had assembled for her. We hung out with the family for a couple days and then headed to wine country to see our friends Josh and Mara and their 8 month old baby, Tibor (who we’ve never met). The whole time Charlie could not stop talking about “Auntie Chelle” and “Baby Tee-bor.” Now, every time we mention someone else having a birthday and try to practice saying happy birthday, Charlie says, “happy birthday Auntie Chelle.”
