Daddy's Birthday

Deric's meets his Grandparents for the 1st time

Deric's 1st trip to California to visit Grampa & Lola Parkman.

My little man did so well in flight. While other babies were crying, Deric kept his cool & did not make a peep. He totally exceeded my expectations.

Thank you for the hospitality, we really enjoied
our stay.

Elisa's Birthday

All us girls gathered together to celebrate Elisa's B-Day at the SandBar in Peoria. It was great to see everyone. Lisa's husband rented a Cabana, in which we're sitting in this photo, & we had an absolute blast.

Poetic ode to our 1st born

Do you know that you make
each day of my life more meaningful?

Do you know that you are
the flower of my existence?

Do you know that you
helped me rediscover
who I am with each step you took?

Do you know that you are my lost dream
& my greatest hopefor the future?

You are all of these things,
because you are my child, & I love you.

DJ's Birthday at Joe's Crab Shack

Some of the Gang drove down from San Diego to help celebrate DJ's B-Day.

Momma I'm comin home!

We told my Parents that we were not going 2b able to make it "home" this Christmas but little did they know we were planning a surprise visit.

Mom had retired for the evening when we arrived at 9:37 PM. So it was much to her surprise to

here that we arrived.

I'm in the Philippines! This authentic portrait is displayed in the guest bedroom & I thought it was the coolest.

With our love,

just like our dreams,

there are no impossibilities.
