Fisher has good news to share. Watch for the "baby" sign at the beginning, before he runs off for his ball.

Backyard Makeover

Flush out the misting system, we're ready for summer! Thanks Mike for our new grass.

March 2007

Fisher loves riding on the golf cart. This Sunday afternoon Grandpa took him on a long ride down the ditch banks to Great Grandma Rosie's house where he sees animals and plays in the dirt.

Fisher is wearing special Egyptian cotton pjamas made for him by his Great Grandmother Teta.

The whole family was very entertained watching Fisher eat spaghetti at our weekly family dinner on Wednesday nights at Jill's parents' house.

Caribbean Cruise

Mike, Jill and Fisher cruised the Eastern Caribben the first week of March aboard Holland America's Zuiderdam.

We touched stingrays in Grand Turk, played on water slides at Half Moon Cay, leisurely swam in shady Brewers Bay on Tortola (somewhere we hope to return to in our own boat) and Mike spotted Larry Ellis' "Rising Sun" one of the largest private yachts in the world, in St. Thomas. We all enjoyed the time spent together, away from daily demands and the busyness of life.

Do we have to go home?

February Fun

In Febrauary we visited Los Angeles to say goodbye to our friends the Ansiels who were moving to South Dakota. Our first stop was KidSpace Museum in Pasadena where Grandma Sohair met us for a fun evening of exploration and play. Next stop: Cabrillo Aquarium in San Pedro. Here we are with Melissa, Garrett, Danielle and Josiah Ansiel dressed up as sea creatures.
Off to a play-date in Santa Clarita at the Bernards' home. Emily and Nathan showed us their new pool and Madeline introduced us to her new baby brother Mason.
Fisher surprised his Grandma with a special treat. He took his first steps at her house, on her birthday. They spent an entire evening practicing walking across the room, interrupted by enthusiastic stair climbing. He hasn't stopped since!
Our good friends Jim, Tricia and Isabel McNulty visited us in San Diego. We spent a day at the San Diego Wild Animal Park where we saw elephants, lions, and even a gnu!

We enjoyed dining out one evening without kids while "Fisher's Grandma" and "Fisher's Grandpa", as Isabel called them, graciously babysat.
