Run for the border

Here I am with my godfather, Alx Meza. I am wearing a towel because the one day it happened to rain in Los Angeles County all year was also my birthday party. He thinks this picture will help him pull birds, because I am so goddamn cute.

Korbel

Prior to my third birthday party I was told to pose with this bottle of champagne, with which my father would later make mimosas. His fear that I would drop the bottle was overcome by his desire to have me pose with a bottle of alcohol. I suppose I should be grateful that he never took a picture of me wearing sunglasses, because everybody knows how creative a picture of a baby wearing sunglasses is.

Myself: a photo retrospective

Marisol says:

It's important you know that I neither took any of these photos myself, nor did I ask for them to be taken. That I am smiling or looking at the camera means only that I am polite, not vain.

Happy Birthday to Me

Marisol's third birthday was also her first day at pre-school. Her teacher made this video, and it is Mrs. Harvey who you hear laughing in the background.

Marisol is already developing a signature Delta Blues singing style.

I was the only parent on the first day of school without some recording device (other than my mind) but, as this is a Presbyterian outfit, I knew that God would provide digital imaging.
