Cleaning out the junk drawer = fun fun fun! for Remy and Twiggy... The whole world is just one big toy store to them.

One of Twiggy's favorite toys is a cut up piece of an old ATM card. She'll smack it around the room and carry it with her everywhere. She also likes to carry coins around. That's how she earned one of her nicknames: T-Money

Happy Birthday, James!

Twiggy also celebrated her birthday - she's now 1 year old!
I made this video of her when she was just a wee kitten.

OK, that's much better! James with his sister Julie, Uncle Dan,

Beautiful day in Santa Monica! Look at those perfect, fluffy clouds!

These maps the show the severity and frequency of seismic activity affecting the people of Japan during this past week.

When searching for ways to help contribute to the relief effort, we found this list compiled by the Huffington Post: Japan Earthquake Relief Options

Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of Japan who have been affected by these quakes. We hope that anyone there who is suffering will receive the help they need quickly.

Yesterday, I took this photo of my growth group for the 10K Small Businesses program. These are the awesome people I work closely with on all of the classroom exercises. Yesterday, I think we covered 2 semesters worth of accounting in 9 hours... and we're still smiling!!!
