I’m sorry Dad, for not posting and stuff. Monterrey is wonderful!  They say October is the loveliest month weather-wise, and I think that’s true. Today we went to the H.E.B (the local supermarket) for some ingredients to make chicken a … Continue reading →

I talked to Lorena, Kelly, and Christian several times this weekend on Skype.  They went to downtown Monterrey yesterday to see the new river walk where Grandpa Lauro works with their cousin Marquitos who is in the ministry.  They said … Continue reading →

Well, this will be one of the most worthwhile dinners I have ever bought.  60 lbs. since February.  Congrats Bryan!

I talked to Grandpa Milo and Grandma Sarah.  They will come to North Carolina the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and leave Tuesday the following week.  We are very excited they are coming.  Kelly and Christian are going to cook the turkey … Continue reading →

Lorena and I got married 16 years ago today.  I truly believe that it is because of the grace of God that we found each other.  She is still a wonderful bride and a beautiful woman.  I am truly blessed … Continue reading →

Lorena is going to buy a new dress tomorrow to wear to the wedding. Christian, possibly Kelly (depending on her frame of mind at the moment–she might go with Mom), and I will probably sit in the book store while … Continue reading →

We started homeschool in mid-August so we could take a couple of weeks off to go to a wedding in Mexico in October. Kelly’s three goals for the first half of the year (by late January or early February) are … Continue reading →
