Hecho en Mexico

Picked up this top at the local panaderia (bakery).  John W. helped us figure out the right technique, as here illustrated by our 3 yr. old.

An old toy, but still fascinating.

The Godfather

John W. is visiting for a third time this summer, this time to be Naomi's godfather.

Baby Face

After!

This picture is taken from the same spot as the one of Laurence in the potty (above).  There was a lot of work done this summer.  Thank you, Peter!

Mother Teresa at the College

Mother Teresa gave the commencement address at the College in 1982.  As always, her words were very inspiring.  The college now has a video on its website.  While there, you might also have fun with the new Interactive Panoramic Tour.

Little League Champion

My nephew and godson, Michael, was part of a Little League All-Star team that won the Southern California championship and was just one game away from going to the World Series.  We watched him live on ESPN2.  In the last game the announcers were talking about Michael's participation in competitions playing Bach on the piano when he brought their attention back to baseball by crushing a home run over the left field fence.  It was the only run Michael's team would score, but what a way to end the campaign.  Way to go, Michael.  I am sure that even greater things are in your future.

The World Needs Another Blog

My sister, Rachel, has a blog.  She is awesome.  Ergo, I will be closer to awesome if I have a blog, too.
