The neighborhood trio sent off to trick or treat. That trio would be Cole, Martin and Mason. Halloween was quieter this year. We handed out pretzels and chips and we had loads left over. Frankie and Camille were a unicorn and Winnie the Pooh while this little piggy went to school. If the weather had […]
For the first time, I dropped a child off at trunk or treat and, by his request, I returned when it was over to pick him up. If I hadn’t made him stop for a moment before running off, I would not have even gotten this photo. Boy, are times changing.
It shall never be said that one child of ours has passed up an opportunity to spend time at Camp Ondessonk. That being said, when the call for help with the First Camp Ondessonk Haunted Forest Hayride and Trick or Treat Event was heard, said child started vying for permission. The weather this weekend was […]

Sunday was a family day for Bill and Mason. They left the hotel bright and early and met Rachel and Jerry at the Original Pancake House in Anaheim for breakfast. Bill had driven out to see Rachel and Jerry Friday night for dinner but they didn’t get to see Mason. It was really nice of […]
Bill discovered a women’s and pediatric dermatology seminar in Newport Beach and it happened to all over Mason’s break. Bill made plans to go and we worked out the details so Mason could have a sleepover with Gramma and Papa. They left Evansville early afternoon on Thursday and flew out to Irvine. The layover in […]
