Ian's 17th Birthday


The day after 4th of July and before our Orlando/Jamaica trip. Our baby boy is now 17. Ian is the youngest amongst our 3 boys. He is taller than I am now but will always be my baby:)

Red Rock Canyon State Park

We have been very busy after Phil's graduation (an excuse for not having been able to blog since). There were the preparations for CDMA's studio show last June 28th and our summer trip to Jamaica (photos from our fantabulous trip available here). In between we managed to take a mini trip to China Lake/Ridgecrest to visit the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division NAWCWD (Phil's prospective employer). On the way back home we were fortunate to chance upon this gem of a state park...the Red Rock Canyon. It was extremely hot but it didn't stop us from taking time for a photo shoot...to admire and capture a magnificent wilderness...and we are grateful.

Father's Day 09


We had an extended Father's Day celebration this year. The kids and I visited Russ at work Monday following Father's Day. We had a very nice lunch at Buona Tavola in downtown SLO.
