Cowboy Kid
The kid is serious. He is a cowboy. The cigarette is just candy. The whiskey bottle filled with Apple Juice. So, it’s all just for fun shots.
Welcome Home to Frankie and James
My sister adopted two babies. We put together a video and song to welcome them home. Welcome home to Frankie and James.
Midnight Snack
We’ve all done it. The midnight snack. Tu didn’t see me but I caught her raiding the fridge in the dead of night.
Birthday!
I celebrated my birthday yesterday. It feels good to finally be in my 30’s since I hear they are the best times of your life. Tu bought me a bunch of presents and an ice cream cake from my all time favorite place – 31 Flavors.
Warm waters in La Jolla
It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it is awesome. The water off the coast of La Jolla is a bit like Hawaii with temperatures that are over 70 degrees at the moment. That means that the beaches are packed with swimmers and surfers and Tu and I were there to join them. The water was so warm and nice that we swam for awhile. I even wore my sun glasses in the water – and of course I lost them. It was another beautiful Sunday at Sea Lane Beach in La Jolla.
Grunion Hunting
I always thought Grunion were just a mythical creature like those “Skype” hunts that you used to go on in camp. It wasn’t until I was older that I discovered that those Skype hunts were just a fancy way of getting kids to do some activity at night and that Grunion were actually real fish that people caught on the beaches after full moons in summer. Well people do catch them, but we didn’t. We all headed out for a late night trip to Coronado to catch some of those elusive fish but we didn’t catch anything. It was a fun night, but no fish.
At first Geno was fightened because he heard that he might step on Grunion
Later he became the Grunion Hunter.
Geno.
A common mistake people will make – confusing seaweed for Grunion. Here, Eoin is pictured eating seaweed not yet aware of it thinking he is eating grunion.
Tu manages a smile even through the sadness of not finding any grunion.
The hunters at work.
Irish Giron’s Graduation Beach Party
Irish is about to move to Los Angeles to go to Loyola Marymont University. To celebrate his moving on to college we had one last party. It was great and everyone had a fantastic time. What a great day we had.

Frankie and James
I went to Bridget and Michaels house today to photograph their new little babies – Frankie and James. Bridget just returned from New York City with the twins that Michael and her adopted. Each of them has their own personality. Frankie is more of the emotional one but he loves to hug and snuggle with his brother James. James is more calm, cool and collected and doesn’t like to be snuggled up against by his brother. When Frankie tries to hug him, he cries and pushes him away. And they are both super strong. James grabbed my finger when I was trying to move the blanket out of his face and he practically cut off the circulation to my hand. These little guys are very healthy and very strong.
Frankie is hugging James here, James probably doesn’t realize it because he is sleeping away. if he was awake it might be a different story.
Bridget kisses there feet. They have cute feet don’t they? I think their feet are so tiny.
Oliver says that he loves having two younger brothers. He is a great older brother and takes great care of his younger brothers.
Even if they sometimes scream and cry a little too loud for him.
Welcome home Frankie and James
