We threw Franco a 4th birthday party prior to Disneyland. It seems like a lot of celebration for one kid (a blowout birthday party on top of a 3-day Disneyland trip), but Dean and I hardly ever see our friends…
In 3 Days: A Wedding, a Birthday, and a Funeral
Funeral Very early Monday morning, a few hours after Fathers Day, my uncle (my favorite aunt’s husband) passed away at the age of 85. It was unexpected and shocking because I thought he looked fine when I saw him a…
