I truly believe you can meet thousands of people or just a handful, and you can be of any age… When you find [...]

Derek is 7

He is my nephew, and he turned 7 years old today!  WOW.  Seven!
Here are a few photos from his party today…

Experiment: Low Light + No Time

So in my “extra time” (whatever that means), I did an experiment with my rings.  Please disregard how they haven’t been cleaned in about a year and the table I placed them on is scratched up & dusty!  Who has time to dust?!!

A Playgroup Baby Shower

Awwww… I am so touched.  The moms in my son’s playgroup threw me a baby shower!
Since I move as smooth as a Weeble Wobble (do those toys even exist anymore?), I brought my camera, but only goofed around for a few minutes…

Bagels and Cream Cheese
The kids loved the bagels, especially the chocolate chip ones!

Ryan’s Birthday Party

Ryan turned 5 years old this week and today he celebrated his birthday with some of his close friends.

No More Beating Pinatas
Thank goodness pinatas have ribbons to pull now.  I always thought it was wrong to beat your favorite character with a stick!

It was a Father-Daughter Prom for Cornerstone Fellowship in Livermore.  The event was held at Super Franks in Pleasanton — a kid-centric entertainment center.  I was blown away by how fancy it looked because it was all decked out.  Everything [...]
