The Kids: 2014 Photos

Posted by JSBressler on 08/27/2015 - 17:05

Old - The 2014 collection of Bressler Kids photos (being only a year behind is actually an improvement for me since Fianna was born). I think all our family travel was in state, as we spent most of Julia's first year close to home base. We made the Annual Easter trip to Yosemite, spent some time in Monterey, and made the usual SoCal trip for Christmas. Fianna and I also went to Camp Sacramento, where we met our good friends the Wilsons.

Guardians of the Galaxy: A Primer (by a comics newb)

Posted by JBMoney on 11/03/2014 - 15:06

It's been two years (minus one week) since I've posted to my personal blog. Since then I had to finish another big web project that ran about six months overdue and have been busy with a new 10 month-old daughter Julia (and 5 y.o. Fianna). Lately though, I've been migrating the old site to a new CMS and hoping to catch up. The recent Guardians of the Galaxy movie fired up my interest a little too much and I popped out a little summary of the Team's history.

For Easter Break 2014, the family went on a short trip to Monterey, Jamestown and Yosemite. It was Julia's first trip away from home and we purposely tried to keep the drive time down to 3 hours or less in one shot.

The Kids: 2013 Photos

Posted by JSBressler on 01/03/2015 - 09:36

The 2013 collection of Bressler kids photos. No longer strictly a Fianna affair, but mostly. Julia was born on December 15, just in time for some Christmas photos. Other than that, Fianna had her fourth birthday, hung out with the Wilsons at the annual Highland Games (she's never missed one), made two trips to Southern California (one to see the Baers and one to see Disneyland/SeaWorld). She was Snow White for Halloween, and we spent our first Christmas as a family in Fair Oaks (because of Julia's birth we did not make the usual trip to Southern California for the Holidays.)

Julia Renee Bressler: Born 12/15/13

Posted by JSBressler on 11/25/2014 - 09:14

I'm writing this almost a year later, but my second daughter was born on December 15, 2013. It was an eventful birth. At two points, her heart stopped beating. The first time they rushed Jennifer into the operating room for a possible emergency c-section. By the time she made it in there, everything seemed to be OK. The surgery was called off, but as they were getting ready to move Jennifer back to her room, her heart stopped again. They decided not to take any chances and conducted the emergency surgery. She spent a day or so in the ICU after that, but all was well and we soon got everyone home.
