Fruit! NOM!

August 8th, 2011: Sitting around the kitchen table with Felicia this morning reading the Sunday paper (we had a wedding yesterday – as with most weekends – so we catch up on the weekend LA Times on Monday), we were in the midst of discussing our tasks for the day, including blogging, when we heard [...]

The Sun and Waves at Crystal Cove

August 2nd, 2011: “BALLOONS!” my wife exclaimed as she saw Alisa and John unloading in the parking lot of Crystal Cove State Park.

Mr. Delicious

July 8th, 2011: For the last half a year now, I’ve heard Felicia utter the words “Mr Delicious” many, many times over. She would go “awwwwww!!” and coo and go “Oh my god, Rob, you HAVE to see this!” as she dragged me towards the computer. “Mr Delicious” is none other than the little fella [...]
