A Daddy & Brandon weekend

I have not been very good about posting lately. Upon returning from NY 2 weeks ago, mommy had a bummer of  a cold so Brandon and I stayed out of the house to let her get her rest. We started our adventure by visiting a cool park over by his Meme’s house. This place is [...]

The Peruvian Festival at Civic Center Park

Today, the family spent the morning and afternoon enjoying some music, food and festivities at the annual Peruvian festival at Civic Center Park in San Francisco. Late July provided beautiful blue skies – but the refreshments were all of the South American variety! My little half a Peruvian brings honor to his momma’s home town [...]

Happy Birthday Brandon!

Amazed to think that it has been 4 years since our lives changed in the most incredible way. Watching our little boy grow into such a sweet, imaginative, sometime stubborn, but always caring and sensitive little boy has been the most wonderful and awesome gift life has brought our way.  Brandon, we love you for [...]

Flying high on a hot summer night!

Thankfully, Brandon is not a huge Daredevil. (This coming from dad who broke many bones, cut my femoral artery, cracked my head open etc etc.. I appreciate this about him!) Our Saturday boys night out included time with MY childhood friend who helped bring out the inner daredevil in him! Brandon fell from a swing [...]

Oh No!!… he want’s to be like Daddy

Brandon was at Discovery Kingdom last week with mom and some friends where he apparently wanted to get a temporary tattoo. While I went to the store to pick up some flip-flops – he was of course thrilled to show it off while trying on a new hat. What a ham! God help us!

Spring has Finally Sprung!

This winter has delivered enough rain to cause California to officially proclaim an end its 3 years of drought. Great news for farmers, but no fun for a father / son duo who love our evening walks. That said, spring seems to have sprung and Brandon and I have been to get outside to enjoy [...]

A Fall Morning at the Park

Fall in the bay area is a wonderful time year. It is still nice and warm during the day – yet the air is somehow more crisp and filled with the smell of tree’s which are about to loose their leaves! The below captures a few moments at the park after a morning visit to [...]

Celebrating Daddy’s Birthday – Island Style~

Yesterday – I celebrated my 39th birthday in the best possible way. I spent the day with my beautiful wife and wonderful little boy in what is likely my favorite spot on earth – Polihale beach in west Kauai! It is a remote beach that sits at the southern base of the Napali coast line, [...]

Starting Fall by spending a week in Kauai!

Fall is such a beautiful time of year – and even more so when in the tropics! We have been in Kauai for the past few days, and still have the rest of the week ahead! Brandon actually has been here before, however it was when Lourdes was first pregnant with him during our thanksgiving [...]

A Sunny Day labor day weekend in Marin

Today we had a wonderful labor day off together. We have family in town visiting from France, so we started our sunny afternoon tour with some lunch at Guaymas in Tiburon. Everyone loved the view of San Francisco – and Brandon LOVED seeing all the boats in the harbor! Lourdes and I were actually a [...]
