I’m on a photo retouching roll! I got to finish a few photos taken a few weeks ago. Apparently, my new niece doesn’t even look like she does in the photo above. Babies grow quickly!
More photos are in my Flickr album.
Good news, everyone! We finally uploaded the photos. We’ve been out & about entertaining out of town guests since the conclusion of the party, so but now we’ve finally found the time to upload these lovely photos! We even hired a photographer this time around!
Check them out on our wedding page.
Everyone but my mom has seen our new place. Mother’s Day would be the perfect opportunity to show her our new digs, so we invited the family over to come celebrate with a patio barbecue.
It was the best day ever. Not only did we have good food, but A’s pitcher Dallas Braden throws a perfect game! Being a good son & a gracious host, of course, I TiVo-ed the game while I had company & watched it after they left.
Crazy thing after that: my sister has a her baby 10 days earlier than expected! Now she’ll get to celebrate Mother’s Day with her new baby.
A few weeks ago, our office video expert & former teammate Brendan left the company for bigger opportunities. Since we love him so much, the company threw him a nice party in the middle of the day. I photographed most of these shots using his Canon 7D. A truly bittersweet moment: sad to see him leave, but he has a sweet camera (did I use that word properly?).
We’ll miss you around the office, Brendo!
Even when I’m not in Oakland catching an A’s game, I’m always trying to find a way to get my baseball fix. When my uncle told me my young cousin started little league, we didn’t hesitate to catch his early morning games across the bridge in Hayward. My little niece Ava shared our enthusiasm as well, so we took her along to go see him play for the Hayward Athletics (can’t go wrong with a name like that!).
At the game we watched, he was the only player to hit a home run, & he caught a good game to boot.
Ava didn’t understand the rules of the game, so she made friends with a five-year-old girl she met at the ballgame. She didn’t absorb as much baseball as we did, but had just as much fun!
