We had a wonderful time playing and talking as well as exploring the Edgefield resort together. My friend, Shanna, recommended that we [...]

We have returned from a lovely trip to Oregon to visit my relatives. I hadn’t seen my grandparents in an appalling 10 years and even worse, my kids had never met this set of great-grandparents. It was wonderful to see everyone again, here are some photos and favorite memories from our visit: My mom’s brother [...]
We were driving through Mission Bay earlier this week when Oscar suggested that we buy a boat so that we can go out in the water. Instead of a whole boat, we bought ferry tickets so that the kids could experience a boat ride. It was actually our kids’ first time on the water and [...]

Fun photos of the kids here: We didn’t always know that we wanted to have two kids. I honestly believed that I wanted to have just one. When I realized that I wanted to change that plan, it was really all about me. I often heard people say that they wanted to “give” their first [...]
A few weeks ago, I saw a request for volunteer bloggers from Volunteer San Diego. I answered that call and have my first post up at VSD. This is a great volunteer position for me right now for a couple of reasons. 1. The best job I ever had was for VSD’s sister organization in [...]

Brian has plans to see “Dark Knight” tomorrow, so we had to move our family fun afternoon to Wednesday this week. Here’s my crew hiking up Cowles Mountain. Oscar really enjoyed the climb and when we decided to turn back halfway (that backpack is heavy) he cried and told us that he wanted to keep [...]
