Colorful birds

Ethan and Yo Pa fed these birds at the Wild Animal Park. They look pretty but they are aggresive when you hold out sugar water.

Wild Animal Park

Taking a little break. Couldn't get on the tram so we walked pretty far. Well worth the walk to see animals not all caged up.

Brian, Mom and Me

In front of the Del in Coronado the day after X-Mas. Thanks Brian and Debi for the San Diego golfing jacket.

Uncle Steve's dream

Uncle Steve would like this boat. I think he should sell his house and move on a boat in San Diego. We will visit often, especially in the summer months. Come on Steve follow your dreams.

Rainbow in San Diego

On the morning walk with Zac saw this beautiful rainbow over the San Diego Bay.

Aunt Debi and Ethan

Aunt Debi was terrific with Ethan at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego.

happy hr with younger Schwartz's

A night out in the Gaslamp district of San Diego. Great drinks and appitizers. Pictured from left to right is my brother Brian, Steve, Debi and of course beautiful wife Heidi.

Brother Brian and Aunt Debi in front of the World Famous Del Corondo. A little chilly but still nice considering it's the day before X-Mas.

Ethan loves his new Batman action figure. The wings expand, it is very cool. Thanks uncle Hank, Aunt Rachel and cousin Ezra. Looking forward to seeing you 3 in a couple weeks in AZ at Uncle Steve's.

Zac loves his car seat. Many hrs. spent walking Zac around the hotel. Yo Pa showed us he loves rocks banging together and being pushed over cobblestones. Thanks Grandma and Yo Pa for the early morning feedings and letting us catch up on much needed sleep.

Lu Lu and Ethan at the Park

Heidi is home with a stomach flu. Took Ethan and Lu Lu (we dogsit some weekends) to the Palm Desert park. Maybe I should have had Ethan put on clothes instead of wearing pajamas.

Jesse and Heidi getting their grove on after the Turkey Trot

Ethan and Ashlyn at the Marriot in Palm Desert

Rain in Palm Springs?

Believe it or not it's raining in Palm Springs! Looked out the window this morning and watched all the stuff (speakers, lounge chairs, towels, ect.) getting wet. Been raining for the past hr.
Carol, Jesse, Jen, Steve, Ashlyn, and Macen all went home last night. We wish there visiting week hadn't been consumed with Zac in the hospital and Ashlyn getting ant poison on her hands and mouth during Thanksgiving. Everyone was very supportive when we were focused on our little boy. Jesse gave us very important medical advice and spoke with the doctors to ensure Zac was receiving correct treatment and medication. Carol cooked most of the amazing Thanksgiving dinner and was also a huge help in helping us determine Zac needed to see the his doctor in the first place. Steve was a huge help in getting Ethan to school and entertaining him when we couldn't. Ashly was the best cousin ever playing with Ethan. When I told him Ashly was leaving he said he wanted her to be his sister and stay with us forever. Jen gave Heidi a ton of moral support and also helped in cooking and taking care of Ethan.
