Happy Birthday Erika!


Can you believe its been 19 years?  I can't.


Erika has always been a cutie with tons of hair.

Four daughters!!!!?!!


These pictures was taken by my good friend Victor.

This reminded me of a picture we have of you somewhere when you were about 4 or 5 and you were picking dandelions.  I wish I had that picture.

You've really grown in to a beautiful and talented young lady.  Check our her youtube video by clicking here.   Its amazing that she did all the instruments and voice tracks.  What's just as impressive is that she did it all on her macbook using the built-in camera and microphone and software (garageband, itunes and imovie).

Its been nice having you around for the summer.  I'm sure am going to miss you when you head back to Hawaii.  I guess we'll have to figure out some way to get over there again.

Sure Love you.

(seems like my only posts these days are for special occasions - Anyone interested in hearing my random thoughts on other days as well?)
