Stay Wondrous

Happy 3rd Birthday to our little girl. It's all happening so fast. While we miss and cherish moments from only months ago, we're excited about tomorrow's offerings. We love you. Keep loving life!

The Kingsbury Manx at Duke Gardens

It was a wonderful show. Cadence enjoyed it thoroughly. Thanks for the lens, Duane.

Summer Fun! July 4th 2010

Cadence and Aunt Tia had a blast cooling off on a hot 4th of July. Simple fun!

a girl and her bike

Cadence has been really interested in riding her bike recently. Here is her first actual go at it outside. She did really good and I think she will continue...

Birthday Mix with a Heavy Texas Influence

In honor of my three, Texas-born, amigos who share birthdays quite close to one another, I've created a compilation of songs that I think they'd like.  Some will definitely be familiar or favorites, but others are those that I envisioned them listening to and enjoying.  Happy Birthday, fellas! Looking forward to seeing you soon.

MADD Walk for Powell "PDUB" Williams

PDUB: HB, CA

Artist and friend-extraordinaire, Mr. Duane Fernandez, is currently visiting our old stomping grounds of Hermosa Beach, CA.  While having lunch at Los Muchachos, he came across a PDUB sticker placed about 5 years ago.  Duane produced these stickers from a stencil he made shortly after Powell "PDUB" Williams was killed by a drunk driver in March of 2005. For both of us, he was as close of a friend as you could have. He is no less missed today as the day he left us. 

In honor of Powell, Corrina and I are volunteering and walking with MADD in Raleigh, NC on March 20th.  We'd love for you to join us! If you're able, we'd greatly appreciate a donation to support a charity so dedicated in ending these daily (and avoidable) tragedies.  Please visit Corrina's MADD page for more information.

Annual Winter Walk in Duke Gardens

This year the winter weather pushed this walk back a couple weeks. Today was beautiful and we were glad to spend a couple hours walking around Duke Gardens. Cadence is 2 1/2 years old this winter and acted as if she remembered taking these pictures over the years. There was a nice student sitting in the chair reading today and Cadence went up to her and said "you are sitting in my chair." We then asked her nicely if we could bother her for a couple moments while we took our picture. She was fine with moving and Cadence and Raleigh did great.
