Alex and Ryan are graduating high school this year. They have both worked hard and nailed their courses. I am so proud of them. When it was time to have their photos taken, I thought it would be fun to go into Sacramento and take urban shots along with some of the murals. Sacramento is […]

His second birthday under Covid….well, we still managed to make it a good one… I purchased 17 balloons and had Alex place them in his room while asleep. This is what he woke to… The annual traditional “whatever you want for breakfast”…suprisingly “normal” this year. Steak and eggs, bacon, hash browns, toast. He also wanted […]

Fabio and Esperanza joined us over a long Valentine’s weekend! IT rained a lot, but we kept ourselves occupied with puzzles, and movies. We were able to get out on a few long walks when the weather cooperated…
We have not been able to meet the little guy (our nephew) in person yet, but enjoy seeing the regular photos and occasional FaceTime visits. His dad, Charlie, made a really neat plastic 3D engraving based on a photo of L. On it’s own, it’s OK, but holding it up to the light….it’s amazing…

This will go down as the most unique holiday to date. Due to Covid, we did not host or visit anyone. We spent Christmas in Manzanita. Quiet, with Facetime and Zoom with family. David made the awesome turkey dinner he had made for Thanksgiving again. It was such a treat.

This incredible human. Our Alex. From his dramatic entrance a month earlier than expected, to his launch into adulthood, he has not ceased to bring joy, drama, and laughter to all who cross his path. He does not do anything half way. His head and heart is all in with whatever he sets out to […]
