Fire Pit

Trying out the new firepit in Cincinnati.  Everyone loves big flames (except Mom).

Party Animals




Clear Lake Fun










Bull & Veda



Winston's Trophy

Winston received his participation trophy from his soccer coaches today (yes, all kids get a trophy now days)...he loved it so much, he had to sleep with it (right next to Lion and Hedgie).

Giant Moth



Backyard Twister


He's Gettin Big!

French Bulldogs are usually 15-22 lbs, Otto is 30 lbs and he's only 9 months old.

The Landing 2016

The kickoff to the 2016 season at The Landing and South Shore Inn.



Red's Game

$1 Hot dogs, juggling acts, a walk around the stadium (and we made it to the 4th inning).  Not much attention span in these kids, but it was fun.



Veda's Drawing

She made this for her friend Ava (who's parents are big Michigan St fans).

Big Boy Bike

Brand new big boy bike for Winston (he's pretty proud of it).  The training wheels didn't last long...

Bring Your Kid to Work Day

Well, not really. Winston had the day off from daycare, so Kathy brought him down for lunch and a little ping pong before hand.

Old Crazy Eyes


School Buddies

Morning drop off at Sycamore Elementary.

Schoolhouse with the McGhee's

The kids always have a great time hanging out with the McGhee kids, even on a rainy day in Lebanon, OH.  Really fun place (family farm) and family style food.  Good Times!








Night on the Town

Views from my favorite rooftop bar (next to my office) - The Phelps Bar w/ friends Jody & Megan Johnson.


Paella With Friends


Otto Shenanigans


Didi and Papi in Cincy



He's Gonna Be a Soccer Player

Winston had a pretty slow start to soccer, but towards the end of the season, he was catching on. Most practices he followed the coach around, more interested in helping set up the nets and talking to the coach than running around and playing. During games, his favorite trick was to run to mom asking 'can I get a hug?'  He's a softy, doesn't have that killer instinct for sports (yet)...time will tell.

Lip Sync Battle

This isn't a very good quality video, but I found it amusing to see the difference in their personality. Veda the lyricist (she knows every word) and Adele the actress (never misses a move or a chance to look at the camera).


Papi Cleaning Fish

Adele and Winston supervising Grandpa Gary while he cleans his fresh catch from Clear Lake.

Crentist the Dentist

This is hilarious.  This guy can't ever stop talking, including while he's sitting in the dentist chair.  He loved every minute of it (mostly the attention).

Valentine's Day

A belated post, but certainly worth sharing.  Our first day back from Mexico and we got to enjoy Valentine's Day with the kids.
