My Dad’s Birthday was June 7th. We all headed down to Coastline Church in Carlsbad where my dad has been the interim pastor for the past several months. We enjoyed a great service, then headed back to our house for lunch and dessert. It was great fun to be with my family for a day of church and lunch – It reminded me of my youth.

Betty’s Birthday was June 10th. We all pitched in for a picnic lunch at the Montage in Laguna. We played bocce and ladder golf, and enjoyed the perfect view. After the beach we came back to our house for some appetizers and dessert, and Betty opened her gift. We’d been working for a couple months on a memory album for her with pictures and memories from each of us. It was a great day.

Camy’s 5th Birthday was June 16th. We went to the American Girl Place in Los Angeles. Camy was glowing! She wore a special dress, with her hair all done up, she even got to wear some blush for her special day. The “Place” was an exquisite display of these special dolls and accesories, with a theater, a cafe, and even clothes for the little girls to wear to match with their dolls. We enjoyed a birthday lunch in the cafe where they served glorified childlike fare, and gave the girls little latch on seats for their dolls to sit at the table with us. It was adorable.
