Happy Birthday Raven!!!

Here's a little photo journey of your life so far!

(with a few of your accomplishments thrown in!)

Here you are in my tummy, where I think you were very comfortable! That is why you were two weeks late coming out! And maybe its why you took 30 hours to make your way out of there!

Here Mommo came to visit when you were just three weeks old - in our little gypsy camp! I think James took this photo from the loft, which you could climb up the ladder to when you were just 10 months old, even before you could walk!

Wrapped in your organic cotton blanket from Kimberly, with your new Momma!

Taking a break in our hike up the river loop in Ojai

Party on the beach!

Hmmmm, what kind of parents would leave me up here on this rock alone?

Chillin' with Dad up Rattlesnake Canyon

Little nature goddess

So many fun things to look at on our walks in the park right outside our condo!

My smile is kinda forced becuz I only have these stuffed animals for company!

First bicycle!

You always did have good self-esteem!

You loved to catch snakes, lizards, and spiders.....

The first of your minions arrives....

New house, new country, and a pony in the yard...

Did we go to sleep and wake up in Beatrix Potter land?

Front and center with your BFFs, Emily and Chloe! I found this in a write-up in the local newspaper...

"The Pine Mountain Drama and Performing Arts Company dressed in their Victorian regalia strolled from shop to shop performing holiday favorites as well as a memorable recitation of the “Twelve Days of Christmas.” Under the talented direction of Ferdae Garami such wonderful performers (carolers) as Trent Ladin, Emily McLoughlin, Chloe Ladd, and Raven Talifero brought smiles and applause from all who were present".

Your 10th Christmas, Pine Mountain Club....

This is around the time you produced your first Public Service Announcement for The Take A Fruit Break Campaign, which was "almost" accepted by Nickelodeon TV! If only your subject had been a 13-year old! Guess what! I found the video on google! I thought it was lost for good! Here it is!
