On the first day of March, I got my (Christmas gift) Lakers watch sized.
Thanks, Tracy! | |

Every morning, I change Olivia's LOADED overnight diaper, get her dressed, and take her to daycare. | |
| |
|

The sign says "Please do not sit on the shark", but nobody said I couldnt wrestle it!

My boy Phil got his general contractor's license, so we took him to our favorite restaraunt in Chinatown to celebrate.
| |
| |
|

|
We kinda made Olivia pet the neighbor's dog, but I'm sure she would've done it on her own anyway. | |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The baby had a lot of "firsts" this month, like her first taste of semi-solid foods... | |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
...she finally figured out how use her legs in her bouncy-thing... | |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
...AND she figured out how to scoot around in her walker-thing!
YOU GO, BABY! | |

Aunt Betsy, Olivia, and Tracy are poolside at La Costa in Carlsbad, CA. Cousin Luke hooked us up with some great rooms. | |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
We went to dad's and hung out with the fam. Olivia was the center of attention, as usual. | |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
I still cant believe how tall Kathryn is getting, and she's still growing! Check her out in her varsity softball uniform. | |
| |

|
Phil finally sold his 1954 Chevy BelAir on eBay...
 | |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
...so of course we had to take her out for one last spin around the neighborhood. | |
| |

I planned to wear all Lakers's gear on St. Patty's day for weeks, so why didnt I make sure some of it was clean BEFORE the big day came???
Happy
St. Patrick's Day, anyway  | |

Olivia & I did a lot of bonding this month.
(I may have to be reminded of this picture 16 years from now) | |

This photograph was taken right before I received my FATHER OF THE YEAR award. |

It's Olivia's bestfriend Ryan, and his mom Tina! But where's Ryan's dad?... | |

Oh there he is, brushing up on his Street Fighter 2 skills
(Remember that game???) |

The last weekend in March was a busy one:
On Saturday morning, I went to the last session of "Middle Ground",... | |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
...a youth mentoring program I work with every Saturday at a middle school in Inglewood, CA. | |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Meanwhile, Tracy caught up on some of her gardening... |
| |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
...while Olivia hung out with some of her favorite toys on the grass. | |
| |
|
|
|
She's graduating this year,
so this was her very last
high school performance |
|
|
That night, I watched Jessica's school's production of "Once Upon a Mattress". She's a member of our church's youth group. | |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next day, we took a family field trip to Hermosa Beach for a picnic on the sand. |
| |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Olivia LOVES spending time outside, daddy loves the Lakers blanket. EVERYBODY WINS!
(I think she was singing here) | |
| |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
A nice man was walking by just as we were packing up, so I asked him to take our picture before we left.
See you in April!
