More Ollie Love

Posted on Apr 20, 2013 in Family

Darla is back in town.  And that means one thing.  More Ollie Love.  I mean she just loves to hang out with Ollie.  Babies just love Ollie.  Maybe because he is so gentle and kind to them.

Judge Wapner signed the paperwork on Wednesday making Frankie and James official Fendley’s.  With large swooshy strokes of the pen which he accentuated with a final long and heavily hammered period at the end of his signature he exclaimed, “So be it. You’re a beautiful family. Now get out of my office”.  Here say Judge Wapner and with that it was finalized.  If you want to see all the photos from the event go here.  Frankie and James get Legit.

What a great day it was. And everyone was happy.  You might recall not too long ago the day the babies came home. The Day Frankie and James came home.  Now, the Fendley’s are an official family and that means my Mom is now at something like 21 grandsons and grandauughter’s and it is not slowing down.

And the family is now happy that all of the paperwork and things are behind them.  Now on to more adventures and fun.  What will the future hold and all the great memories that they will collect over the coming years.

One of the rewarding things for them is meeting other adoptive parents and sharing stories.  It can be a rough road to adopt a baby in these times and so knowing your not alone is one of the nicest things in life.  Here is a young couple with the cutest little girl.  She was so happy!

Euradicia

Posted on Apr 17, 2013 in Family

She has worked in the neighborhood cleaning everyones houses for 30 years (possibly more). Everyone in the neighborhood has called her Maria.  But thats because that is what she told them her name was.

She said that because it was easier for people to remember than her real name – Euradicia.  For years, we have called her Maria too – even though I know her real name.

I guess she was right.  It was easier.

The Giron kids are getting older.

Just a few more years and they will all be in college.

Out in the park.  I can’t remember the last time I took a picture of all three of them together.  Well, they are a handsome bunch of kids.

Waiting for Mom to Come Home

Posted on Apr 8, 2013 in Family

Poor Little John.  He wanted to see his mom so he sat by the window for hours just looking out and wondering when she would come home.

She did come home about 30 minutes later and came rushing in the house to see him.  Little John was happy to see her too.

Camp Fire on Fiesta Island

Posted on Apr 6, 2013 in Family

Eoin Blue is in town and Danny finally decided to burn his Christmas Tree about 4 months after Christmas.  To me that sounds like a perfect excuse to have a Camp Fire on Fiesta Island.

It started with Patrick deciding he wanted to drive the Range Rover all over the sand and then next thing I know, Eoin had my car in 4-wheel drive and he was spinning donuts on the beach.  Well not really, he was actually being pretty cautious being that it was his first time 4-wheel driving.

We took some night shots which everyone likes doing and we caught some pretty neat stuff that night.

Easter Sunday was a Fun Day

Posted on Apr 1, 2013 in Family

Everybunny came to the Easter Brunch at the San Diego Yacht Club.  There were lots of high flyers at the Yacht Club and then there was the McKenna Clan.  There was Roast Beef, Shrimp, Filet Mignon, Expensive Hams but all the McKenna’s pretty much just piled up their plates with bacon and then went back and got more bacon.  What a day.  Check out all of the images I was able to take in this gallery.  Ollie and Geno were the only ones hamming it up so that’s why they are in almost all of the pictures. Gallery for Easter Sunday 2013

Tu made cupcakes.  She had all of the bunnies lined up in the refrigerator chilling out until the party started.  The bunnies were standing at attention.

Frankie and James had cute little bow tie outfits on.  Frankie saw my camera and he went oh no, here we go again with that thing and immediately bust out crying.

Geno and Ollie were looking dapper dressed to the nines for Easter Sunday. Geno even wore a tie!

Geno and Ollie are good friends and had a great time together.  They are almost the same age and they like doing a lot of the same things.

Oliver was so studious.  This is not pretend.  He is doing homework in the Library so that he can get all A’s on his report cards.
