Ezra Walks!

Ezra has not been in a hurry to walk. However this morning, with Rubí as my witness, he seemed to be ready to make a big effort. Later in the day, he took some steps to my arms. I have to say, I have had many happy days in my...

Perth Royal Show 2014 : The Fireworks

Last year the biggest surprise after Horsepower was the how amazing the fireworks were. This year, on our second attempt of that week, I tried to get some photos and a movie. The video camera battery died on me or something went wrong, so here are the photos, and a...

Road Trip part 2

We went to Lake Ninan before, when it was spring and there was water inside of it. This time as we decided to stop there again or not, we were both pretty sure it wouldn’t have water. It didn’t.   Lake Ninan on video:   Keep on seeing our road...

Laura is 20

My little girl is sliding out of the teen years today and turning 20. She has always amazed me, from the moment she was born and announced she was a “10” and all through her life, and even now, escaping death in a car accident. I know she is a...

Rainbow Bee Eaters

So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.  ~Genesis 1:21 I feel like, in Australia, I guess because so many animals...

John’s EH

John has a 1964 EH Holden. He doesn’t drive it much when I am there, but Dad was having issues with his KIA, and it looked like John was going to have to share his primary car with Dad, which left him to use his EH. So, we took it...

Kings Park Flower Show Second Visit

Another weekend, another flower show visit. Any why not? The variety of flowers seen here is not to be believed. So many representing all over Western Australia, which really should be another wonder of the world. (Someone needs to get on board with that). Today’s visit we also took in...

Caversham Wildlife Park (part 1)

Features

Since I tease (and complain) to John regarding his bachelor pad, I thought it only fair to point out a few features I like. Given that your every day automatic ice maker usually breaks (like ours at home), I thought John’s ice tray was pretty neat. Video showing how it...

Happy Birthday Daddy

My dad loved recording with his reel to reel tape recorder. One of the things he liked to tape was me. Here we are together singing, “(I’m in Love With You), Honey.” I was about 4 years old. I couldn’t find much information on this song, like who originally recorded...

Silas On Stage

Silas has been participating in a Patch the Pirate program for his age group. Today at church, was the season’s end performance. Last time he did something like this it didn’t go very well. This time was an improvement. 🙂 Laura took a video!

Rubi likes John's whiskers 2

She Likes His Whiskers

I am sometimes slow to download content from my phone to my computer, so recently, 2 months AFTER John was here, I downloaded and watched this video of Rubí on John’s lap. She was quite fascinated with his whiskers. (John was very much on vacation). Oh, Rubí, I like them...

Rubi Takes a Step 1

Rubi Takes a Step

Rubi­ has actually been taking steps for a little while now. These occurrences are random, and we never know when they’re coming. Often I think they happen without her realizing it. Today, though, it seemed like she was actually TRYING to walk.

Montserrat 2

Montserrat with Marta and Pepe

One of the most memorable parts of our last trip to Spain was a visit to Montserrat with Marta and Pepe. Montserrat is a mountain top monastery in Catalonia, Spain. Situated atop an unusual rock mountain, it is very popular among Catalans, and Catholic pilgrims come from far and wide...

Embers For Ashes Video and Photos

I finally was able to put up all the photos of Embers for Ashes, (well not all as I took 700), but rather 40 photos of their last gig at Ram’s Head Live, Miquel’s last official gig with the band as lead VOX. You can see the photos HERE (2...

While in Australia, we stopped by Yallingup Beach. It was breath-taking. I finally put a few photos of this wonderful place >> HERE Yallingup is a coastal township positioned on a hill overlooking the stunning Yallingup Beach. The coastline here is dramatic, as jagged rocks and high cliff faces are...

Talking With Rubi

Lately, Rubi has a lot of things to say. I just love all her little sounds. This evening, I caught her chatting with her daddy on my cell phone’s video recorder. He worked so hard to entertain her. She adores her daddy! As she should!

Video Tour of the Baltimore Aquarium

While going over our home movies, I found this clip I thought would work well for a small video tour of Baltimore’s Aquarium. It truly is a wonderful aquarium, but the video only shows a small part of it. Since this was created in 1992, they’ve added so much to...

Little Miquel with his Arsenio Hall Fist Pump 0

Little Miquel and Arsenio

For weeks and months I tried to establish a bedtime for Miquel. He wouldn’t have it. He busted out of his crib (literally), he tried everything he could. He wouldn’t even THINK of sleeping until he got to watch the late night talk show starring Arsenio Hall. Finally I had...

Miquel amb Formatge

So a few days ago, I blogged an old home movie about a young Miquel and his love affair with food. The video showed his struggles as he tried to eat a bowl of potatoes. The video that follows, he is about the same age and we are at a...

Sting Wants Big Government

Love Sting’s music. I can even agree with his stance on the rainforest. After that, I guess we would part on most other topics. In a recent interview with Sting and his wife Trudie Styler for Earth Day, he says a few times that the we need Big Government. That...

The Best Part

Even though I loved showing John my part of the world, and even though we both enjoyed all the places we visited, the best part for the both of us was finally meeting face to face after 9 years chatting on the web. I have to say, John was a...

Tumalo Farms Cheese wins First Prize

    My crazy Brazilian “brother”, Flavio, tells a local news all about his cheese and goat farm. In a very charming way, he compared herding goats to the milking parlor to his days in the boardroom with engineers, that was funny. I am proud of Flavio, he works hard along...
