High School Friends Reunite...Now With Kids
Lennon, Pearl and Bill come to Venice, CA to see Kiara.

Kiara was too busy hanging out in her car seat looking at and sucking on her hand...thus this is the only picture of her from dinner in this blog post!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day Dad!!!

My dad, my sister and me

I'm like my Dad...I love to take pictures (as you can tell by this blog). I don't have an eye like him, but that doesn't stop me from taking pictures. Like him also, I'm behind the camera 97% of the time (thank goodness for the reverse camera feature on the iPhone) so unfortunately there aren't many pictures of him and me, but these were 2 that I found. 

Love you Dad!
RIP

 

I hope I can be half the dad to Kiara as my dad was to me. Miss you!!!

Happy Superheroes Day!!!
AKA Happy Mother's Day!!!

Just A Little Morning Fun With Kiara and Photo Booth

 

Thank You For Looking Over And Protecting Kiara
This post is for all the family members that Kiara came after...
 
I wish you all could've met your beautiful granddaughter, your great-granddaughter, your great niece and your niece, but I know you all are looking down on her smiling. 
 

I wish you could have met Kiara Dad! If there's one person who would've taken more pictures of Kiara than me, it would of been you. I would've love to see Kiara in your arms, playing with her like you did with me. Love and miss you Dad...RIP!

Ima...lived a hundred gazillion years! I wish Kiara could've watched the Price is Right and Emergency 51 like we watched when I was a munchkin. Love you Ima...RIP!

I know all of you are looking over Kiara and protecting her with all of your wings. Even though Kiara will not know you personally, she will know about all of you and all the memories we have of you.
