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 it was beautiful. They had a huge barbecue at Tio Rigo and Tia Minita’s house with all the aunts, uncles, and cousin. They said they had a great time and the food was super, too. On Sunday, they went to meeting in the morning, then did the traditional Mexican dinner and marathon hang out session at Grandpa Lauro and Grandma Conchita’s house with the entire extended family for the rest of the day. They said it was very relaxing. I would love to be showing you some pictures of all this. I would love to see some of them myself. Maybe if I work the guilt and sympathy angles, we will get some pictures, a blog post or two, and some promised comics from Kelly. But sincerely, I think they have completely forgotten poor old Dad sitting at home with the cat sisters eating dry cereal. With this level of attentiveness, I can tell I am going to have a mighty fullfilling retirement. I am just that old bald guy with all the cats. Woe is me.

Ahhhhhhh! Sending our sympathies!
Dad
Thanks Karen. I really need sympathy right now because I am certainly not getting any from my ungrateful family! 🙂
