Raising funds for Pediatric Cancer Research through a dinner and silent auction hosted by the Newport Beach Tri-Delta Alumni group. The event was held at the Balboa Bay Club and raised tens of thousands of dollars. If you missed it, there is still time to help raise money for Pediatric Cancer Research at next week's PCRF Walk for Life; Lori is the captain for Team John.

California sunsets and silent auctions, just another Friday night in the OC.

Food, fun, family, the "hunt", more food...all holiday favorites. Happy Easter!

Easter Brunch at Aunt Mary's and Uncle Kevin's home in San Diego.

Another successful hunt

Counting our eggs from the hunt...

A fun filled weekend with our friends Nate and Jenny who were visiting from New Orleans. We go way back to the Crescent City and miss them much. They are off to PA for his medical residency...enjoy the snow.

Watching the boats near Balboa.

Wrapping up the evening at the Karpowitz's home; wouldn't be complete with some Wii action.

Brandt raced the Baja 250 in Ensenada, Mexico before a flat stopped all the fun. Josie and I took a last minute road trip to support him and discovered how many tacos is too many - the answer is 7.

Singing karaokee for my friend Jen's birthday. Singing fear? No more. Look out for the robot!
