Isaiah's Surgery

The morning before we headed off to surgery. You can see he had a large "angel kiss" birth mark on his tummy. I remember when he was born, that was one of the first things that I noticed about him.

Waiting for the doctor to arrive. He was, of course half an hour late! Isaiah did good though, he didn't even flinch when the nurse put the IV in his hand. He did admit that he was nervous though. What a good guy!

After surgery pic. So sad, no more angel kisses on his belly. Now all he has is a seam. He will have a nice scar though that I am sure will make for some good made up stories when he gets older.

Mom enjoys riding her new-to-her bike. It is a BMW R1150R Rockster model. She rides to school and back home again most days. She is a hero to her students on campus because she is a motorhead!! You go, girl!!

San Francisco Trip - 2007

During our trip last summer to San Francisco and eventually to San Diego, we took a day ride around the Castro Valley area to a scenic area known as Mount Diablo State Park. I distracted Barbara as we were maneuvering the switch back roads on our way down from the peak. Barbara endured a slow speed accident resulting in a few broken ribs, a broken clavical, and a punctured lung. She spent 10 glorious days in the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek. She has survived to ride again. She got back in the saddle and has ridden to school already this year.
