Happy Thanksgiving

As I sit here a think of the things that have gone on over the last year I can't help but think of the how great it is to be me.

Here are just a couple of things that I am thankful for that happened this year.
1. My youngest daughter Gabriella (She always puts a smile on my face)
2. That my car gets great gas mileage even after driving it 186,000 miles
3. That I have been able to get closer with Mami and Papi this year
4. I still have my health and my good looks...I had to throw that one in :-]
5. I am still able to make money on the internet (expecting my best year ever)
6. That no matter what happens I have the best family in the world that supports me

What is everyone else thankful for?

Update on Papi

I know... I know...It's been long overdue, but I am finally updating after his surgery. He is doing really well and can actually drive himself around now. He will be heading back to his house later this week. This entire time he has been staying with Oscar in Augusta.

For everyone that took the time to call Papi really appreciates it, and for everyone else...Get on the phone! it won't kill you :)

Here's to another day above the daisies!

A little bit of everything...Merry Christmas

I have been so busy lately that I haven't had an opportunity to update the blog. This is going to be a little bit of everything that has been going on.

First, Papi is out of the hospital and doing well. His surgery went great and he is staying with Oscar and Sanalis in Augusta, GA. He has a lot of people visiting him but a phone call to see how he is doing is always appreciated.

Patrick is also doing much better. He had an infection that was the reason for the lumps that he found. He is on medication to help with that. He also has a new car to drive so he isn't walking anymore. Patrick is working hard as always and loves to hear from everyone.

With everything going on I didn't mention Robert's birthday that was on Nov. 25th. It was his Golden Birthday...25 on the 25th.

I remember mine back on Christmas of 1997. I was in the Navy standing duty watch because we were in the Persian Gulf. I also was working on an emergency project for SEAL Team 6 (called Dev Group) making some motor mounts for them because they were stranded on shore and needed to get their boats back to the ship.

As today is my birthday I am just hanging out at Dusty's house (Wendy's brother) as we spent most of the morning opening up presents.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas and don't forget to call Mami and Papi.

Update on Patrick

I spoke with Patrick today and he told me that they did the biopsy on the tumor and it's not malignant! Great News!

He will still be out of work recovering for the next couple of weeks so hopefully he gets better soon so he can get back to work soon (I know he needs the money from work)

Get Well Soon, Patrick!

New Look and Features

Hey everyone!

After a lot of downtime over the last year I have finally decided to updated the blog. It now has a new look and a couple of new features.

Here are the new features...

If you look on the top left you will see a subscriber box. You can enter in your name and email to receive all the updates via your email. Now you won't have to come back and check out if the blog has been updated.

The other thing I did was add all the links that I know of to our families different website and blogs. I tracked down as many as I could and put links to them here. So If you for get you can just come here and check them out.

If you are feeling left out just send me an email and I will add your website(s) to the list.

Also...

If you think of something that you would like me to ad to the blog just say the word and I will work on it. Just send me an email and I will get right on it.

That's it for now...
