Grandpa Alfredo came to visit us and Maria's family in Richmond,VA. He stayed with us for a couple days and with The Quezada's for a few days. It was nice having him and I sure here had a blast with all the grandchildren. I was told to give Nadia a big hug and kiss for him when she come in two weeks and I will surely do that. We attended our nephew Ethan's B-Day party at Chucky Cheese in Richmond. He had a blast! We gave him street hockey sticks and this huge bubble making thing ma-gig. (Not a word I know!!!) It is soooo nice having family close and having so many family and friends come see us and help us. Nadia you will be home next year for you cousins B-Day parties for both Ethan and Aaryn. Plus for all of ours here at home. God will take care of us. I promise and when Dad makes a promise he keeps it!!!!

PS: The games in Chucky Cheese were still fun at 28yrs old!

They spent a few day with Missy friend Megan and a day with us.

1000 Words

I thought this a was a pretty good picture of the gang. Left to Right Nadia, Bean'yo, Kyza, and Kota. Plus the super X-Mas tree.

This is a picture I just found of the girls. They say pictures are worth a 1000 words, personally I think this says millions!

I love you girls! Dad

Blizzard = Day Off!! 8in of snow last night.

The House - Our trucks, house, garage, trailer, and dogs. The S10 is in the garage.

Kyza and Kota breakin trail! Oh! Wait Dad's not comin better head back!! They had a great time.

Our Cider tree is heavy with snow. Dad got up early to shovel snow and play with the dogs.

Our Cardinal's - They really are a cool bird. Our house/yard must have 4 or 5 of them.

Well again I must say being a Federal employee ROCKS, this and the state of VA not having enough snow removal trucks:) We received 8" of snow last night as most of you have probably heard by now. So it gives us another day to spend together and do a little painting. I got Teegan up changed her and feed her. After that we went to the kitchen to make mom breakfast while she slept in. We made pancakes, eggs, and fried hot dogs. We ate it at the breackfast bar that Grandpa and I built two months ago. Man its so nice to have the extra space.

A bunch of pics from our last dayz in Petaluma, CA.

Family photo(TIRED) - Relaxing in Mom and Dads old room.

Watching a movie on the last TV in the house everyone!!! The lugged bags waiting to be load into Dad's truck the next day.

It was a sad day for all of us to leave CA but, we knew it was best for our family. We had a great house, neighbors, and friends. All of who we still talk too. We have a much bigger house for all of us too grow in and a great neighborhood. Sorry, I never got these up earlyer but, it was hard to look back at first and now that we have settled here in VA and things are slowly starting to come together. It feels good to look back at everything but, better too look now and see the same smiling faces. We must be doing something right A?? ;) The Lord has kept us under his wing.

Thank-U Lord!
