Yesterday we were invited by our neighbors Joel & Donna for a small BBQ. We were not in the mood to party after our LA trip but we went anyway and had a really good time. As I usually do, I forgot to take fotos as I was having too much fun. This is the only shot …

Duck Update
Unfortunately all 7 ducklings are gone.
