Yep, that's right. That's Mr. Calderon's senior picture. He looks like he's going to go on tour with The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly.

A Rainbow in Segments

This was the view from our roof tonight. We made coriander encrusted wild salmon covered with a homemade nectarine salsa. The sides were roasted potatoes, fresh greens and avocado salad. As we were eating this amazing, beautiful, colorful rainbow met us on our deck. Sometime it feels like you're living in a movie. Or at least piece of art work.

We Named Him Truck, They Named Him Jackson

This just in…Autumn and Eric are parents. Awesome! But don’t take my word for it, head over to the blog, House of Farrara, and read all about it in there words:

First of all, my wife is amazing. She brought our son into this world with amazing strength. Jackson and I are the luckiest guys in this world.

Jackson Wheeler Farrara entered this world at 9:25 pm. He weighs 8 pounds and 11 ounces and he has huge muscles....

Michelle and I get to hang out with Truck.... uhhhh.... Jackson tomorrow. We can't wait!

Yeah, It's Michelle's Pirate Ship Pool Birthday Party

Michelle turned a little bit older last Friday, but damn, I could swear she becomes more younger every single day. In between her half-marathons and triathlons and Doctorate program and hobbies she’s always coming up with something new to do. I’ve never seen someone with so much energy. God help us when we have kids!

The previous Saturday we threw a birthday party for her and a friend, Kelly. The theme? A pool party of course. A water balloon fight broke out sometime in the afternoon and the party went deep into the night. As you can see in the pictures, we DO have a pool…and a pirate ship. Who knew?

Fun. Fun. Happy birthday! Now let’s go for 60 mile ride through Napa, do some doctorate level homework and drink this amazing bottle cabernet. Or just pick one. Sounds good to me. Sounds like a birthday party. Michelle’s birthday party.
