Merry Christmas and Happy New year

Sorry for the lack of postings. It's been a busy holiday season. Thankfully everything went well and we spent a lot of time with family and friends! We took pictures when we could. There would have been more but someone (ME!) forgot the memory card when we went to our family christmas party. OOPS!

CDM Photoshoot

We decided to go out to Corona Del Mar with my crazy cousins, the Dangs, and do a photoshoot. We had some friends join us so Helen and I could "Practice" on our photo taking. Actually it was more me practicing while Crazy Helen does her thing.

Emily's first Halloween

Emily played dress up on Sunday with her uncle's Jonathan and Kenneth and her Auntie Julia. They were all so cute in their costumes! We couldn't wait til the end of the month!

Emily's Summer Blast!

Hi everyone, just wanted to update you on Emily's first summer with her family! She had a great time!

She went to a Hat themed birthday party and won a prize, went to the pool for the very first time, and also went on her first, of MANY, Vegas trip where her mommy decided it was a good time to break out the leg warmers! Overall, her first Summer in this world was a very memorable one for her and definitely for us! She's changed our lives in a way that Diane and I will always be greatful to her!

Emily and Jonathan's Baptism

Bored at work

So it's 2am and I'm at work. The sacrifices to pay the bills! This is the intersection right outside my building. The rest are here.

Shells, beaches, and Cali life

So my wife decided to use a beach theme as the centerpiece of our dining table. I liked it so much I decided to take a couple of pics of it. Here it is...

Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone! Here's some joy that I'm spreading!

The Kenji Show

Last sunday was my first time "shooting" for someone. That someone happened to be for my Cousins, Linda and Kevin and their baby boy (my nephew) Kenji. With it being my first shoot, I think it went well. I'm not sure if I'm ready to do this for a living yet but I DO love photography. Here's a few pics of them. You can view the whole set here.

Italy!!

We're done with one week of our honeymoon in Italy and we have one more week to go. So far we've been in Rome, Vatican City, Florence, Pisa, Milan, Lake Maggiore, Lugano (Switzerland). Tomorrow we're off to Venice! I'll have pics up when we get back. More to come when I get back to the states with a more consistent internet connection!

Wedding Rehearsal

Our Wedding Rehearsal was last night and was a complete success. Thanks to everyone that made it that way! Definitely couldn't have been so great without everyone being there.

Time's closing in

I haven't had time to post anything lately because of my up and coming wedding on the 14th of this month. My crazy cousin has posted pics of my fiancee, Diane's bridal shower this past saturday. Thanks Crazy Cousin! It's going to be a busy month! Rehearsal on the 12th, wedding on the 14th, Honeymoon to Italy on the 16th. I love it!
