This morning I was delighted to spend a little bit of time with little Mr. E.  I was present as he showed off what he had been leaning during his therapy sessions.  Mom shared with me that just 3 weeks ago Mr. E had little to no verbalization skills and would not look at anyone in the eyes.WOW! what great strives he has made in such a short time - he greeted me with a great big HI and a smile on his face - I even caught him looking straight into the camera a few times.  I am so overjoyed for having this experience and I would like to thank mom for sharing him with me.  

I spent the afternoon at the beach with Mark and Teslyn in Laguna on Sunday.  These two are set to get married in Canada on my birthday - September 14.  I realized that I had a few more things in common with these two love birds - first,  we all have Jamaican heritage and second we go to the same church (the fact that I had not met them before means I really need to get out more).  Well, congrats to you two - and just to let you know, I do travel (wink, wink).  

These two started dating thirteen years ago and are about to tie the knot. I can’t wait for their wedding - it is being held at the beautiful Wayfarers Chapel in Rancho Palos Verdes next month.  I decided that it would be fitting to take them to the Redlands Library for their engagement shoot since the start of their relationship and proposal happened at a library.  Who said learning wasn’t fun?   

Meet Kevin and his two little sisters.  It was so wonderful to watch how protective he was over them and how much he loved these two little princesses.  I really look forward to working with this beautiful family again.  

If you are local, please stop by The California Pizza Kitchen on Friday the 25th (966 East Hospitality Lane - San Bernardino).  We are holding a fundraiser there from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. to help support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  This is a cause that is very close to my heart - I have battle and won Hodgkin’s Lymphoma twice and am approching my third year of recovery.  Come on out - eat some good food and help us find a cure - PLEASE!
