For the Fourth of July, we bought a bike
seat for Amelie so we could ride down to see the fireworks at the HB
Pier. The fireworks were great, and we're now biking with her every
day down to the park or just around the neighborhood. Amelie will
point out bikes wherever we go, she's really enjoying it. Even the
helmet is no problem for her. |

I think this is a binky that Sue
accidentally left with us, and I tell you, I just love how Amelie
has no idea what to do with it. We never had one ourselves, so she
just kinda puts it in her mouth and chews on it. It's kinda cute. |

Last month I bought Naomi a new laptop, so
we set up her old one with some Dr. Seuss software, and Amelie goes
insane for it. She gets all still and when it starts she'll just go nuts
screaming. It's totally ridiculous, and it makes me so glad we don't
have TV. I would hate to have to compete with Barney and Elmo. |

The carousel at Fashion Island is a lot of
fun, and Naomi taught her to say "wheeeee..." when she rides it, but
it just comes out "eeeeee". It's a little hard to get her off it,
though, so we buy a few tickets and give her a bunch of rides in a
row. It's also nice the carousel is right outside Teusche's
Chocolate. |

My friend Ed came back to SoCal for a
short visit after being abroad for a couple of years, so he got to
spend some time with Amelie for the first time. Right now he's back
in Argentina living the good life. |

My Dad was also out here for a weekend so
we went to the Orange County Fair. This is at the petting zoo, which
was really cool. The animals were very gentle and well behaved.
Plus, they had a kangaroo with a little Joey in its pouch that
stuck its head out every now and then. |

This is a sequence I shot of Amelie trying
to escape the clutches of the goat. |

Amelie didn't mind feeding the pygmy
goats, though. |

This is a picture a guy I work with took
at the US Open in HB. It seems impossible to pull something like
this off, doesn't it? |

Hey, call me, we'll do lunch! |
