Move Over Gerber Baby

Here is the latest picture of my grandson, Beckham Bear Bearchell.


Some say he looks like Bear, others say he looks like Jen. I say he just looks cool - with a personality to match.

A Good Day

Millie, Megan and I spent the first part of the day watching Zach play in the flag football championship, and the second half of the day with Bear and his family. Life is good, and God gave it to us. Thank you God!!!

Imperial Beach, CA

I just spent 3 days at 6th Grade Camp with 66 kids from our school. It was a lot of walking and a lot of watching (camp staff did all the teaching and training). the camp is right on the beach, so it made all the negative stuff melt away into a positive experience for the kids and our staff.

Here area a few sketches for my experience. (Notice anything missing from the pictures? Kids.)

From One Week to the Next

I spent the other day on the cliffs of La Jolla sketching and painting with a friend. It was an amazing day at the ocean. And then ...

I spent this last week proctoring the CA STAR test for a group of 8th graders. Basically that means I read them the instructions and then let them do the work. My job was to make sure no one cheated and no part of the test (including scratch paper) left the testing room.

Funny - I can't even remember taking the STAR test when I was in school. I just remember running to get in line with the schoolmarm rang the bell, then get in trouble for running. Were there such tests in the olden days.

I love what I do for my job and I love what I do on my own time. Life is good!

NOTHING BETTER

There isn't much in this world better than spending time with my grandson Beckham. We walked through the park, along the bay, ate lunch at Panera Cafe and napped. He is a true blessing from God. Thanks Bear and Jenn for doing your part, too.
