More Ollie Love
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.
Frankie and James Official Now
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.
Judge Wapner signing official paperwork
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!
At the end of the ceremony, everyone posed for pictures with Frankie and James. (And the Judge)
The Quick Collar Campaign
I am helping a friend, Kenney Pierce with an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for his new invention the Quick Collar. The Quick Collar is this little ingenious device that we want to get into the hands of every Rescue Agency and Fire Department in San Diego.
Kenney’s story was so compelling to me that I wanted to get involved. He watched a news story over 20 years ago that changed his life forever and got him started on a campaign to develop water rescue gear to ensure that no kid will ever drown again.
Indiegogo democratizes investment by taking those decisions out of the fat cat investment funds hands and puts the decision in the hands of the public. Anyone can donate to help bring a new product to market. Whether it is $1 or $1,000 dollars no investment is too small.
We started off small but managed to raise $100o in the first night and we hope this is just the beginning of something big for him. Check out the campaign here if you can and pitch in if you think this is a great invention. Kenney Pierce’s Quick Collar Campaign.
Euradicia
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.
Giron
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.
Geno’s Limo Service
Geno started a pretty high end limo service, carting people around in Range Rovers.
It’s a pretty sophisticated setup but his prices are reasonable.
