It’s hard to believe June is right around the corner and even harder to believe Sophia is a month old. In between the late night feedings, diaper changes and the occasional fussy period that comes along with a newborn, we were visited by two sets of grandparents. First, Bill and Elaine visited when Sophia was…

Great Expectations
Wow – the Wiktors have been slacking on their posts! Before things get really busy around here I thought it was time to catch up. I also happen to have some free time on my hands as I patiently wait for the arrival of some pretty important belated birthday gifts. The first part of 2011…
Fallish
We wrapped up October by doing what everyone should do around Halloween — carve pumpkins! We had a lot of trick-or-treaters and were cleaned out after an hour or so. November brought more visitors to Case de Wiktor. Kathy arrived for a week long visit to celebrate her and Carolyn’s birthday month. During her visit…
Full House
The house was bursting at the seems as visitors from across the globe (or at least some visitors that have been around the globe) flew in for a few days. Mike and Heather decided to make San Diego the last stop on their 10 month, global adventure; Rick also flew in on Friday from Breckenridge…
Goodbye Summer
Well, you wouldn’t know from the heat wave we had here the last week (it was 105!!!) but summer is officially over. Luckily, we live in Southern California so that doesn’t mean much to us. Words like snow and windchill don’t work their way into our vocabulary with the changing of the season. Before we…
A family day
Usually work stuff stays off the blotter but since it was a family event and all… The Squadron had a family day on Saturday complete with fast roping, rockets, guns, cotton candy, and a “jumpy” as they’re called out here. Mere snagged a few pictures of me flying during the event and Carolyn got to…
And break…
With all the work around the house plus traveling, flight planning and studying we hadn’t had much down time lately. Last weekend we took a break from the to do list and didn’t lift a finger around the house. We slept in, cooked, shopped, soaked up some sun on the beach and shared a beer…
Fish Creek in the desert
Fish Creek in the desert – we were there! Well… actually we were at Fish Creek Wash but who’s keeping score anyway? The Wiktors and a two other couples decided to do a little desert camping over the weekend. Saturday we headed up to the Anza Borrego desert with a tent and a dozen bottles…
New camera, new wine, and more fun
So finally after a years worth of wanting, months of research, a few last minute changes, we bought a Digital SLR camera. Picking the camera wasn’t too difficult but finding the “perfect” lens was a little more difficult. After all the dust settled we decided to go with a one-size-fits-all type lens: the Tamron 18-200mm…
