This is one of my favorite pictures except Stan is taking the picture and therefore not in it.

Mom and Dad, Monterey Bay Aquarium, 2004

This photo of my folks was taken 4/04 when we celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in Monterey and Carmel for a long weekend.

Ramona and her son, Ben

Ramona is my sister-in-law. She introduced Stan and me when she was my acupuncturist in Seattle! Ramona's husband, Tom, and Ramona sure made a cute kid, didn't they?

Ben and me

Ben loves dancing, singing, asking direct questions, and giving hugs.

Trese and Christofer

Trese is Stan's sister. Christofer is her very clever and precocious son. They are modeling butterfly pins Christofer made all of us moms for Mother's Day.

My cousin, Diane, and her husband, Rick

Diane and Rick enjoy exploring the galaxy when they get some free time from raising 3 awesome "kids" (Julie is now in college! Chris is in high school. Joey is in elementary school but not for long.) in San Diego.
