Our babies having breakfast

Bri enjoying her breakfast of organic rice milk, organic Cherios and bananas. All this food and love are going straight to her speech development! She's finally saying quite a few words and expanding her vocabulary daily. We'll post a detailed video soon!

Malek, pictured enjoying the same breakfast! We have come to the conclusion that this kitty is a human being trapped in a cat's body. He LOVES and WANTS our food. He favors bananas, organic cherios, tofu, rice, and absolutely any crumbs that fall from the table. He is very playful, perceptive and mischiveous!

Hanford Wonder Park

Thanks to Grammy, we can now go to this fabulous park in Hanford where Bri can find lots of things to do for a long time!

Jeremy and I could not remember attending a more fun wedding in our lives! Everybody had such a great time celebrating the love of Drew & Vanessa and enjoying the beautiful Amada Plaza, where the wedding took place. About 200 friends & family were treated to a multicultural feast of delicious Cuban food and a mix of Chinese and African traditions weaved through the ceremony, officiated by Dr. Ken Pierson, and the reception.

An amazing weekend in Carmel

Our favorite beach babe playing with Daddy

Kenny and Crystal were with us for a few days on furlough from Saipan. It was so much fun to spend some time with them and also with Tim, Jen & Natalie Trujillo who also joined us at a beautiful cottage in Carmel owned by Eric & Darlene Hanson.

Introducing Malek

Bri playing hide-and-seek with Daddy

Bri is also ecstatic to have a little kitty to play with ... his name is Malek and he is 9 weeks old

He seems to be surviving a toddler very well. He even looks cute inside a pitcher!!

A serious moment in a toddler's life

This all happens when you leave Daddy and baby by themselves in the house for a few hours!!
