So proud of my sis in law, Sara. She is the senior designer for Ralph Lauren and designed the opening ceremony outfit for this year’s Summer Olympics! (She had designed the last winter one as well…)
This past year she was also busy creating this little precious jewel! I have known Sara since she was a teenager. It’s been lovely to be witness to her grow into the incredible woman she is and knocking out high level accomplishments in her field.
Good Times with Alex
Apr 29th, 2021 by leigharev2
We have a licensed driver! Dad took him out a bunch, preparing him for all the scenarios, and he scored really well. He is very responsible and mature behind the wheel. An excellent defensive driver.
Alex loves movies whereas Ryan prefers TV series. I enjoy watching TV with Ryan, and movies with Alex. this year, Alex and I made a strong effort to watch all the movies that were nominated for the Academy Awards. There were a total of 41 movies and 15 shorts. Due to Covid, none of these were seen in the theater, EXCEPT…on the Friday prior to the awards, a local theater had the 10 or the 15 award shorts (live action and animated) playing. 5 hours of film watching. This was the first time in over a year we were in a theater. They have those comfy lounge chairs and a couple intermissions, so it was easy.
By the time the awards came around, we had watched 25 movies and 10 shorts. It was a great year for quality film. Everything that was nominated was worthy of nomination, in our humble opinion. Too bad they were limited to a small screen, but grateful they exist nonetheless. I popped open a bottle of prosecco and Alex had ginger ale.

Graduation Photos – Alex
Apr 29th, 2021 by leigharev2
(Similar text ) 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 full of beautiful murals. We went early Sunday morning while it was still cool, and no traffic. We had the city to ourselves until about noon.
It was so hard to pick photos for the boys’ graduation announcements. They turned out great and we had so much fun! I love seeing the outfits they chose that represent who they are. Alex is all about varying shades of gray scale. Classic. Sophisticated. Here are a few of the shots for Alex…

Spring Break sans TJ, due to college. But we had a good time celebrating Easter together, recording and videotaping a song…
Tim and Josiah sang. David mixed the sound, and Alex did the video!
Tim and Josiah bought us a sushi kit and picked up some amazing fish for us to make our own sushi!
Ryan’s 17th
Apr 9th, 2021 by leigharev2
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 a watermelon flavoured beverage. I had a little fun with that…
Alex sent Ryan on a scavenger hunt. The prize at the end of the hunt was the t-shirt Ryan is wearing…
Later in the day, Ryan’s friend, Zach, came over for an afternoon/evening of snacks, video games, and dinner delivered from the Cheesecake Factory!
Ryan’s Uncle Charlie made him a custom piece of art!

Visit with Dado and Dada

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…
