Joseph performed Stayin’ Alive for Napa Valley Dance Center 2008 Recital.  And even though it was over 100… and his timing was just a “bit” off…

Well after what seemed like 2 weeks, we got back from Maui. We all had a great time, and I want to thank those who were praying for us to have a safe trip. Below are the different Photo galleries of pictures that where taken.

Joseph’s Birthday Party was yesterday, and it turned out decent, even though we had rain and high wind (Alternately).
Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.
And here is a video showing off the costume.

It’s Joseph’s Birthday party coming up. So I had to clean up… which would keep me busy enough. But with the weather forecasters forecasting heavy rain so I had to improvise, so with a tarp and some odds and ends I had laying around I created a roof for the patio part of [...]

Joseph had a busy weekend. With 14 performances this month, he’s been a trooper. Today he had three performances plus League bowling in the middle of it. So after bowling 85, 63, 79 we rushed to his last performance. And well, you can decide yourself. Even though he was tapping [...]

I had a pretty good Fourth, with the ability to go up valley to the Yountville Veteran’s home. Where for $4 I was able to take in 3 “championship games” of the DiMaggio League Baseball (guys around 16-19 years old). And then went down to the front of the Veterans home where they [...]

My parents go and help out at the Farmers Market over at Copia here in Napa every week. But this was the first Tuesday I was able to go (since generally I’m working). So I went enjoyed the fresh produce, some sinfully good danish and some good music from a guitarist that was [...]

Joseph is a lucky boy in a lot of ways. As typical parents we try broadening his views as much as possible. Besides going to Baseball and Football games, having him bowl, play soccer and t-ball, we also have him in dance with his favorite uncle Scott. Its really Scott’s mom Sandy that [...]

As my [...]

Not a big surprise, but a big day for Joseph none the less. The graduation was actually Wednesday, and as all Kindergarten graduations, it was very cute. I discovered a bit more that day, as I found out that the school had some 5 Kinder classes. And of those 5 classes they [...]
