Heading South for the Holidays

Tomorrow we travel to see Bibi's family in Argentina for Christmas and New Years. Then Bibi and the girls will be staying till mid February awaiting the arrival of Giuliano, Bibi's brother's first child. We don't know what kind of internet service we'll have down there so there might not be any updates for a while.

Merry Christmas and may God bless 2011 in a special way!

Meeting Bristol Palin

Caro and I attended the Making a Difference for Life 2010 Fundraiser Banquet here in Visalia and had the honor of meeting and talking to Bristol Palin, the keynote speaker. She made a powerful case for life and in all we had a great evening, along with about 800 plus other guests. We were very impressed and had a blast hanging out. At the end, we were given a couple of roses as a souvenir. Nice touch.

Happy Birthday, Zoe!

While Tia Ile was in town, we helped precious Zoe blow her very first candle. Ava (the big sis) and her friends played with our girls and we all had a really good time.

A weekend with Tia Ile, Camila & Giovanna

With another Argentine in the house who loves food, Bibi's been making some yummy dishes from back home and other new ones as well. Homemade pizza, Argentine style, with all the bells and whistles, Argentine pasta with homemade pesto and yum chocolate cake were among the most favorite. Auntie Ile & the girls came back for the weekend and we had a blast in the pool and just hanging out.

Happy Birthday, Kevin!

Right after Mateo's bash, we jumped in the van and headed down south to Redlands to help Kevin Schimpf celebrate his 4th birthday, firefighter style. About 60 people, mostly close family and friends, showed for the occasion. We all enjoyed great food, lots of games, bounce houses and an unforgetttable trip to the local Redlands Firefighter Station where Kevin & family took a quick spin in one off their big trucks. Feliz Cumple, Kevin! What a GREAT day!

While down in the Redlands area, it was AWESOME to see the Kangs. We had a great evening catching up while the little ones played. Great seeing you guys!

Mateo turns 5!

To kick start our second week of September, we all helped Mateo celebrate his 5th birthday with a great party at Boingos. All our Latino friends were there and the kids had an absolute blast playing in and out of the fun bounce houses. Feliz Cumple, Mateo!!!
