July & August 2014 Update


Time and life seem to be flying by as we come to the end of summer and the beginning of football season.  I am a huge football fan (as I type this watching the Stanford/ USC game) and my wife likes to joke that she loses her husband for 6 months during the season.

August was a good month as we celebrated my son's second birthday.  September will be extra special as we will be welcoming #2- a little girl-  into the world towards the end of the month.  

Keep plugging along with my investments and building my passive income.  I need to!  Raising kids in Southern California is expensive! 

Anyways, I didn't post an July update so here is a quick summary:
