An Island idyll at East Brother Light Station, June 8th.
This one-acre rock near the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge boasts a light station and a Victorian house which is used as a bed-and-breakfast. The station still warns seafarers with loud blasts of its fog horn. It was an incredibly gorgeous weekend, San Francisco Bay at its best. We want to return!
A night on the Monterey Bay hosted by Nick and Celeste's friend Scott. Mariana loved playing the part of "Rose" on the Titanic.
"Camp Babi and Papa" in the middle of June was a time to explore Santa Cruz with Clare, Sam, Max and Henry. The beach, boardwalk, Seymour Center and here, Wilder Ranch, provided rich summer camp experiences. 
An example.....we walked by an agitated seagull protecting its egg (can you see it?) and returned twenty minutes later to discover . . . the chick had hatched! 
A baby of a different variety arrives to bless our world on May 31st. This was our first look at Lily Bliss Chappins. You can see more of Lily on her very own website, http://lilpoppyseed.blogspot.com
