Isabella Got Baptized Today

Posted on Dec 12, 2016 in Family

I was the GodFather of a special ceremony today.  Isabella’s Baptism!   It was in La Jolla at Mary Star of the Sea and It was beautiful.  Everyone came over to the house afterward to eat food and Bobby and John drank Pepsi shots and ate twinkies.

A Little Lad

One of the few pictures we have all together.  We’ll take more.  But it’s hard since I am always the guy behind the camera, not in front.

Finn Loves the Fall

Finn Tu and I went for a visit to the park yesterday.  Finn loved the colors of the leaves on the tree.  Finn loves Fall.  He cannot wait for Christmas.

Darla had her first overnight without her mom.  Erin took Halsey, Darla and Ford on Amtrak to San Diego.  Aunt Bridget took them to Nordstrom’s and bought them an early Christmas gift.

Thanksgiving 2016

Posted on Nov 26, 2016 in Family

It’s Thanksgiving week, so that means lots of the family is down visiting beautiful San Diego.  As the family grows larger – now 26 grandkids – the holidays just get more fun and exciting.   You can check out all the photos from this year’s Thanksgiving here – Thanksgiving 2016 Gallery.

This year was  a 2 part extravaganza at the Yacht Club followed by a trip to the tidepools.  Patrick had big plans for a massive hike to the tide pools to build up an appetite but several things inhibited his grand plans.  1) we had already eaten, 2) most of the girls had high heels on and 3) no one really wanted to hike.

So Patrick’s big hike was reduced to a 50-foot walk out of the parking lot to get a view of the cliffs. It was a great and fun Thanksgiving as always.
