My coworker sent this to me and I was crying from laughing so hard by myself. It’s not just the photos that are great, but the comments add just the right [...]

Photos are from the weekend in Katy for Daria’s 32 bday. She had about 20 folks over for a catered party. Fun party, great people, pretty location (dad’s house!) The kids are getting so big & speaking in sentences (in ENGLISH!!- they first learned Portuguese) They are so [...]

Memorial Day wknd
Brian, Gus, and I made another trip to Katy for Memorial Day weekend. This trip seemed to be a bit more leisurely and relaxing. We stayed at my mom’s and visited my dad for an evening. I am so blessed to have family located so close to me. (4 hours isn’t so bad….)
