Family Time

It's Saturday night enjoying family time with our most loved ones.  We are all at my Tia Mary & Tio Carlos house where throughout the years we have shared many memories.  So many memories that it would be hard to sumarize all in one post.  Some that come to mind immediately as I am typing this right now is Christmas fun (from the memories of myself opening presents with my cousins to fast forward 20 years or so to seeing my kiddos opening their presents); Thanksgiving dinner - oh that Pumpkin Pie; to the time my cousins kidnapped my wifey and, yes, got her to reveal that she was prego.  The more I reflect, the more I see the love that this family has for each other - very united.  We are very lucky to have each other.  When you read this, you too will probably have compiled many memories at our uncles house.  In attendance tonight was (here we go) Jackie, Zane, Becky, Johnny Leza, Juan & Emma, Letty & Danny, Sils, Linda, Mamma Coty, Robert & Sara, Cheli, David, Mina, Maria & Ari, Nana & Mikey (via iphone), Mom, your Mom, Juliana & Sophia, Milly & Alejandro and of course Tia Mary & Tio Carlos.  This truly was a wonderful evening.  Oddly enough, it is a big difference from going out to a grown up Halloween party and getting trashed - a very WELCOMED difference.  This is so much better - getting to see you guys and all our family share more memories that we can enjoy and laugh at later.
To capture the moment, here is a little clip of Halloween 2011 for you to enjoy (follow the link).

Quote of the Day: "Boo!"

The beginning

So being Friday and a slow day in the office I have decided to try to navigate the great, wonderful world of the internet.  As my wife and probably some close friends can tell you, I hate the internet - it bores me.  However, I decided to give it a shot and long and behold ended up coming across the idea of creating a blog.  As more I considered and thought of it, I told myself "sure, why not..."  The commercials (which I can't recall the names of - my memory...more to come on that subject later) in which the parents setup an email leaving wonderful memories to their children came to mind and sounded like a good idea.  I think it would be a wonderful memory for my children to come across this blog years down the line and be able to see my inner thoughts.  Now, for the same reason I don't think many people will have access to this blog as my intention is to get really personal and close on here - but then again it on the WWW - but anyways, I will share memories, feelings, triumphs and failures for them so that they can maybe one day see them, learn from them and use it as a tool to guide them in their later years.  So for now, I think this is a good intro and definetaly more will come...I feel like Doogie Howser at the end of the show =)
