Here is a random photo of my family and Heather as she is progressing in the pregnancy number 2...5 weeks and counting until our baby girl! Yeah!

We recently took Ellis and his Abuela (grandmother) to the Monterey Aquarium. It was Ellis' first trip to the Aquarium and he greatly enjoyed seeing all of the "Ishies" (fishes). It is all he talks about now, even a few weeks after the visit. At the aquarium we were fortunate enough to be able to see one of the only known Great White Sharks in captivity. A truly amazing animal. All in all, it was a fun outing and one that Ellis will not forget for some time...enjoy the photos...

Mystery writer Jeffrey Deaver recently did a reading of his new book "Roadside Crosses" at our nearby library (Belmont) and I had a chance to meet him (as well as Heather and Ellis). If you are at all interested in mystery writing, he writes some great and compelling stories...Side note and one that you are undoubtedly thinking, I have a really large head or cranium in comparison to Mr. Deaver...
