Last week’s BJJ Tournament | Irvine, CA

Last week was the First Annual Gracie Barra So Cal Classic.  It took place at Irvine Valley College.  This is a unique tournament in that only Gracie Barra students are invited to compete.  We had a great time.  Jordan took 3rd, I took 2nd and a ton of the competitors from Gracie Barra San Clemente brought home medals.  Check back here often because I am trying to get all of our matches uploaded for you to see.

Grace’s First Bath | Ladera Ranch

So, a little more than 22 days ago, Grace was born.  We just got done giving her her fist bath where she sat in water.  It is not to say that this is her FIRST bath EVER, just the first in a tub :)  Mom was worried that she would freak out so we planned to have everything right there, easily accessible in order to limit the torture on baby.  Suprisingly, she was completely calm and serene in the water and surrounded by little bubbles, non of which came from her :)  She was even calm enough to allow me to snap some shots of her in her towel…  don’t worry, there will be MANY more photos like this as time goes by.

The Albrecht Family | Victoria Beach, CA

Yesterday we were blessed with GREAT weather down by the ocean. Ti and Jeremy took advantage of our current special to get some family photos done with their boys Ethan and Hunter. Hunter was very mellow while Ethan kept us busy with his energy and curiosity. I had a great time, and was even helped by my hot wife (I mean assistant - I don’t need HR beating me up for harassment !). Grace was there too, although she seat in her car seat, it WAS her first official visit to the beach!

We are supposed to head over to the pediatrician today for her first checkup since her birth.  She has been such a good and manageable baby, except when she likes to be alert from midnight to 4 AM :)  She is actually alert RIGHT NOW and when she is awake like this, she spends tons of time just looking at whoever is holding her.  I know I am biased but my daughter is the most beautiful thing I have seen.

More images

So now that we have had some more time to rest and get things a little ’scheduled’ I have posted some images.  You can go here if you want to get some GREAT prints of any of the photos:

Some of these have been taken with the iphone so they may not print that well at larger sizes.
