Charlie's first birthday!


This photo, tragically, is the Only record we have of Charlie's actual birthday -- thank goodness Gagada snapped it on her camera. Hundreds of photos were taken by Charlie's parents on his big day, and at his party the next day, but then Charlie's mom (to her eternal chagrin) lost the camera's memory card in the bowels of Fred Meyer -- likely flung out of her pocket while digging for a pacifier. None of those photos had been downloaded or printed, and it appears they will never be seen again; unless by a lucky person who may have picked up the memory card and is even now enjoying photos of our beautiful baby blowing out a Big Bird "I'm one!" candle, surrounded by friends and family. But we all decided to lift up our chins and re-enact the birthday a couple days later, sticking candles back on his leftover cake and opening a couple new cards and presents. Hope you enjoy the "do-over" photos above.
