Really? It’s been 10 years since we started doing the family photo booth at the fair thing? It really is crazy to think that it’s been that long… time definitely does fly.

When Melanie and I first started dating, we went to the Orange County Fair to waste our money on un-winnable games, Read the rest of this entry »

In 1971, my mother decided it would be fun to pick up and move the whole family to Australia. In March of that year she had heard some friends talking about the Australian consulate and some sort of program to bring workers to that country. By June, we were packed and heading to the airport. I was just barely 11 months old, so I do not recall any of this.

In 1973, we befriended some neighbors of ours, the Graveson family. Parents David and Anne had 3 kids…Two girls, Anita and Karin, who were close in age to my sister Stephanie, and brother Derek; and one boy, Erik, who was very close to my age. We spent lots of time hanging out together at the beach and having lots of fun. Both dads were very fun, and made sure that all of us kids were always entertained. Read the rest of this entry »

I think we need to take more family photos… especially at the beach!

Our baby Brody just celebrated his 2nd birthday on June 7th. We had family and friends join us at Disneyland, where he and his cousin Jake enjoyed their first ever visit to the happiest place on earth. Brody’s excitement over all of his Thomas The Train gifts was just so fun to watch. He actually turned down cake so he could play longer with his new trains! I presented him with a plate full of cake and he said… “no, no cake…. bye, bye”.

We now have the living room filled with trains! Here are some photos that I took at Disneyland and him opening and playing with gifts. I have some videos as well, but haven’t processed those just yet. Stay tuned.
