James and Family

Adventures in Costco. We ran into Allan and Pie (over there in the middle, Allan, in the dark blue shirt and Pie in the light blue shirt). Pie just gave birth to a little boy Ernez (under the striped blanket) -- their second child.

As you can tell, we had so much fun in line for hotdogs.

Every day is a happy day.


Baby Caterina with Joyce. There was no way to separate them.

Joyce actually had, in the past few weeks, just given birth to beautiful little Juliana.


The best things in life...


Warm summer nights in Sacramento. There are plenty of clear skies at night. It looks like about time to start teaching Isabel about the stars and stuff.


Swaying leaves. The crepe myrtle trees in the backyard have started their beautiful, pink mid- to late-summer blooms. I have been waiting all year to see them again.


Bye for now!
