yes, we're off tonight for our annual tucson trip. every year, we go to tucson to visit our dear friends, the jamison family. who are the jamisons? well...carmen (aka momma carmen) took care of kiele from age 6 weeks to 3 1/2 years old, while i was active duty air force, at davis-monthon afb. carmen became much more than kiele's day care provider, the jamisons became like family. we still cherish their friendship and love. it's amazing that it's been seven years since we lived in tucson, yet they remain such a special part of our lives.

these photos are from last year's (november)tucson trip. this year, we're doing a summer trip as we learned it makes for better swimming (even though it's hot as hell). but all in all, it's my kind of vacation...chilling out at the pool, no agenda, and hanging out with great friends.

while gone, i'll have very limited email and telephone access.

meet the jamisons.
