Summer of Two



Summer is here. Jackson is running everywhere and riding his bike around the neighborhood. He loves arts & crafts, reading books, playing hockey, dribbling the basketball, and having a baseball catch.

It is long overdue to update the blog especially since The O'Neal Family has been traveling to various areas of the globe that include Chicago and Costa Rica.

Recently, Lesley and Jackson jetted for her hometown of Evanston, Il. I flew in to Chicago a few days later to join her and the Kurz family. A celebration for Grandpa Dick's 75th birthday trip was planned with a trip to Costa Rica.

We three O'Neals joined Dick and Anita and their two sons Doug and Dan and his wife Lauren for the flight. We all returned in time to spend July 4th in Chicago.

There, we met Lesley's mother Carol for the fabled Evanston July 4th Day Parade which was really wet this year. After a train ride to Wrigley Field for the game, we finally headed home for Summer in Santa Monica....more to come.

Mountain snow atop San Jacinto in Palm Springs


January 2009 - Here we are atop the mountain in Palm Springs at San Jacinto. We took the gondola with the rotating floor to the top. It was Jackson *very* first time in the snow. Here's a shot of Jackson holding a snowball for his first time.
