Celebrations and Love

June 3, 2011

This past weekend, we celebrated Mom’s 1st Birthday of her second life here on earth. It’s been an amazing journey since we first found out about her heart tumor in October last year.

Crissy Field Family Day

May 21, 2011

Last weekend DJ and I explored SF. It was cold and cloudy for most of the morning but the clouds broke and we were able to enjoy some time in the sun with Little Miss Bear. Friends say that she is the most over indulged dog in the world. They are correct.

Paris D’Amour

July 2, 2010

Mom and I concluded our 2nd annual Mama-Den Summer Euro trip last week.  We’ve decided to make it a tradition to set aside a week or two each year to spend time together on this side of the world.  After the ridiculousness of last year’s trip, we realize just how good for the soul a […]
