Hello 2019!

It's been a busy couple months since my last post. We had another great Christmas and I almost made it to midnight this New Years Eve. I was able to take 2 weeks off while the girls were on break and we had a couple fun outings but we also spent a lot of time just laying around the house. I felt a little guilty for not doing more work around the house but I finished a couple projects.


Michelle got her license and is driving to work and school which has been a little scary for daddy but I'm so proud of her and I know she will be more responsible than I was at her age. She got a job at a new grocery store 2 minutes from the house but has to drive through a very busy intersection and past the freeway so it's still a little scary. She started as a cashier and not a stock clerk like most teenagers so I'm super proud and impressed.


Sophie and Mia are both doing excellent in school and in their school activities. Sophia is in ROTC and loving it. It is soooo cute to watch her polish her dress shoes. Not sure if she will make a career of it but she is really enjoying it. Mia and a couple of her friends started a Ballet Folklorico club at her school and they have performed a couple times at the school. She looks beautiful in her dress and I love that she is embracing her heritage.


Andrew and Sarah are both doing good. Andrew continues to make me proud at work and is on track to graduate from RCC soon. He shaved his mustache so he looks a lot younger but I think he will grow it back. I hope he grows a beard so he will look just like his dad :) Sarah is doing great also and is enjoying married life. We just celebrated Lexi's first birthday and Bella is in 1st grade now. Sarah and Eric bought a couple bunnies that they plan to breed and sell and their German shepherds might be having pups too so it looks they will be busy for a while.


Isella and I are also doing great and though we miss the girls being babies we are enjoying the freedom of having kids that can take care of themselves. It's a new year so we are back to eating right and going on walks even though it is freezing at night when we go.


Until next time...





Happy new Family

This is not only the first double rainbow I have ever seen but also the first complete rainbow where you could see both ends touching the ground. I have a nice video of it but my stupid admin was talking through the whole thing.

Who needs Hawaii when I have this right outside my office.
Nope, still not over it.
