Silas Growing Up!
Miranda is so thoughtful…and clever! She thought of a cute way to show how Silas is growing by taking his photo each month next to a pillow in their green living room chair. Has it been a half of a year already? Here is our little Silas, now 6 months...
Cameron is One!
It’s truly a blessing to have lifelong friends. When the friendship just holds to the time when your daughters become as good of friends that we were at their age…..when that friendship carries on to the point when their grandchild turns one, and you get to be a part of...
Autumn Snow
The trees still have red leaves on them and the weather paid no mind to the calendar at all, and the snow fell. We were only supposed to get about 2 inches, but by night, I would say closer to 4 fell here in Pasadena. Â Mom said that it...
Northland Baptist Bible College
While at Wisconsin visiting my family, we stayed in the White Dorms at the campus, and besides enjoying the beauty of the Camp Lake in the mornings, stopping in for delicious coffee at the Daily Grind, and enjoying the surrounding scenery and wildlife, I got to sit in on...
Back from Wisconsin!
Our family went to Wisconsin to see the newest addition to the family. Baby Silas is so sweet and precious! Likely I will be saying more about our time in Wisconsin over the next days or weeks, but I thought I had better rush out an update to anyone...
Baby Silas (and family)
Baby Silas. Funny how one day you’re Enric and Miranda, and the next you’re “Silas’s Parents” 🙂 Miranda just sent me the first photos of Baby Silas! Isn’t that the most precious face ever??
Miquel’s 18th Birthday Party
Amidst abundant sunshine, a slight autumn chill, and falling leaves, my mom and I held a party in honor of Miquel’s 18th birthday. Mom made a great party tray platter, the band played, ice cream cake served, and presents. For any who checked in during the day, the party and...
Star Quality (Car Wash)
A young man from church, Tony, came up to me at the Teen’s Car Wash and mentioned that he had been on my blog. I was flattered that he had paid it a visit, but he was quick to tell me, that the site was missing “star quality” since I...
The Graduate – The Party
Miquel, my graduate. Miquel had his graduation party yesterday, and even though the sunshine went away for the day, and we actually had a chill in the air, everyone braved the swimming pool, my cooking, Crazy Andrew’s water balloons, and played lots of DDR and basketball. Click here to see...
The Graduate
Soon Miquel will graduate. He has elected to graduate with his class at Covenant. For weeks now, we have been in preparations, plannings, meetings getting ready for the big day. One of the items that was required of us was to put together a few photos and music to...
Past Easters
I’ve been going through old photos and scanning them. I thought I would share some past Easters with you. The first is my mom and I in front of our new house. I guess I was 7 or 8. The second is me in our Baltimore back yard. Next to...
Baltimore Auto Show 2007
 Each year, I take one of my “valentines’ to the Motortrends Autoshow in Baltimore, Maryland. It has become quite a little tradition that the whole family likes. This year we each had cameras, flat shoes (ahem, Laura), ample card space, and plenty of fresh batteries. Also this year, Miquel...
Data Recovery Mama
Laura borrowed my camera last night and after a session with it, she downloaded the photos to her laptop in her usual fashion, then came to my room to put the camera and everything away. Not long after that, I heard a little panic from her room, “Where did my...
Praying Mantis
A recent trip to Kinder Park, Laura and I encountered a large praying mantis in the path we talk for our regular 3 mile walk. This creature let me get very close, I was pleased with the shots I got with my camera. Â Larger photos here and here. Â
Washington D.C. (Episode II) Continued – Sculpture Garden
As we moved from the joyous place that makes up the blue water fountains, and crossed over back towards the Mall in Washington D.C., I heard yet another fountain in the distance. I suggested to all that we investigate. On a hot, humid, Washington D.C. day, it wasn’t hard to...
Washington D.C. (Episode II)
Not even a whole week after going to D.C., we decided to return. Having more of an understanding of how the metro works made a second visit easier. I took 500 photos this time! This time, we decided to visit the National Museum of Natural History. The main building on...
Snow for Winter
After an unseasonably warm January. yesterday all of Maryland woke up to a winter wonderland…
Old Photos: People
“What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.” Karl Lagerfeld So for better or worse, here are some random photos of people doing life. Some candid, a few posed, but all a moment in life.
Our Independence Day
We had a very sweet July 4th. The weather was sunny and great, the pool water was not too cold, and my sister and her husband came (fixed the bathroom fixtures, which was very nice!) and we had a cook out; all the usual, grilled barbecue chicken, hamburgers, corn on...
Snow days…
Snow… This came to my email, one of those inspirational items I subscribed to from BeliefNet. “Snowflakes are one of nature’s most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together.” -Vesta M. Kelly Very beautiful and profound, but I don’t know if that is what...
