Once again, October gives us another birthday. This one is special in that Enric turned 30. It's so hard to believe that I now have a son who is 30 years old. Even though it was an important event, Miranda had a few events to schedule around and finally decided to invite friends the day before his actual birthday. It was to be a surprise, and he was surprised. :) Enric is kind of curious as to why people are in ... Read More

Today after church, we went to see Jim play with his band for a benefit. This was my first time hearing him play, ever. I was very glad I got to hear them! Here are the movies I took with my phone. Not great quality but it was the best I could do. ... Read More

I had a ball at the reception getting to talk and be with friends and family and capturing some candid and posed shots of everyone. (Click on photo for larger image)   Rubí was a bit of  a show stealer. Mom joins the family table. Mom with Uncle Arthur Jim, Chris, and Britney. Amy (our personal cat whisperer) and Forrest. The groomsmen's table. Groom and Best Man. Brothers. Two Sillies. After being held a long time during the ceremony, Rubí was ready to take off on the open floor. So ... Read More

During my birthday Chris suggested for us to go out to eat as a way of celebrating the occasion. Sounded good to me. Jimmy jumped on board with the idea too. Chris's idea was to go to the Cheesecake Factory, and since I had never been, sounded perfect to me. We postponed going out until after all the wedding chaos was over. Jenny and Miquel well into the Bahamas and all the wedding over, we set a day to go to ... Read More

Seems like yesterday we went to Britney's second birthday party... Today she turned 21. Earlier in the week Britney messaged me on Facebook to see if we were coming to her party at Cheeseburger in Paradise. I had never gone there and all week, my mouth was watering to try one of their cheeseburgers. We arrived a little late (I left home and forgot her present!) A second attempt and we arrived with everything. The birthday girl was even later than I was, so we ... Read More

Last night my son and his band, Embers for Ashes, played at Recher Theatre in Towson. Since I got my new 50mm f 1.8 lens for my Canon, I was anxious to get photos in these low light conditions. I was also happy to go with Jim and Heather! I was very pleased with the result of the photos! PHOTOS HERE (2 pages) ... Read More

Our July 4th started with a sit-down family lunch of Tortilla de Patatas. With everyone's tummy happy, we decided to get some tennis in before heading out to the harbor. Already happy to have spent most of the day with my two children, I showered and looked forward to meeting the Kucha's to go to Baltimore. Harborplace was filled witih people and fixed up for the holiday. We relaxed at the Hard Rock Cafe... The girls had frozen virgin drinks. Chris sipped on the real thing. Jim, ... Read More
