I don’t know how I got on the subject of my friend Kiko to John Fieck, who stayed in our home this weekend, but I next heard Miranda ask, “Who is Kiko? I never heard you mention him before.” So the next thing I know, I am telling her of...
I am not sure what a Tea Party person is. I don’t know if I am one. I’ve never been to a Tea Party rally, but from what I’ve seen, I can sure support their right to assemble. I know I am not a Democrat, and I am pretty sure...
Miquel is very busy. Work, band practice, gigs, errands, dates with Jenny…. So when he is actually HOME, and that is rare, he gets to hang out with his nephew and niece.
I don’t know Nick Cannon. I rarely watch TV or films, nor have I listened to rap music. So I know nothing about this young man. Recently I learned about a song he sings, and a thanks he gave his mother, for not aborting him. Apparently she was 17Â and...
This is a special birthday clip. Enric was turning 9 and we chose a 50’s theme for the occasion. A lot of music preparation went into this day. We didn’t have the children dress up, but the decorations were 50’s theme and we even had a jukebox piñata. In this...
Yesterday….So Laura lays Rubi down on the pillow, and the next time we look, she is sitting straight up! They grow up so fast!
Miquel has been the ‘star’ of the latest posts putting excerpts of our home videos on the web, but I thought to share the three I know of him that were food related, kind of together. So here is another Miquel moment, eating ice cream, or what he calls “eye...
So a few days ago, I blogged an old home movie about a young Miquel and his love affair with food. The video showed his struggles as he tried to eat a bowl of potatoes. The video that follows, he is about the same age and we are at a...
“Every child saved with my help is the justification of my existence on this Earth, and not a title to glory.” One of the things that irks me about this story is this is the first I have ever heard of it, what else irks me comes later. First as...
Taking another trip down memory lane…. Well, still looking at home movies. Only this time it was my sister’s home movies! This came to be because one year for Christmas, I did a lot of homemade gifts. I found my sister’s old home movies, you know, the kind that requires...
According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are nearly 31 million people currently unemployed — that’s including those involuntarily working parttime and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since...
Each day reminds me how fast Silas and Rubà are growing up. I was quite surprised to see Silas playing video games with his daddy… Then, later today, his mama acquired a very reasonable priced Sandbox from Craigslist for Silas. And here is RubÃ, constantly amazing me with her strength,...
From CBS NEWS Chicken Came Before the Egg: “Scientific Proof” British scientists claim to have solved one of the great mysteries of life, the universe and everything in it: The chicken came before the egg, they say, and they’re not mincing words. “It had long been suspected that the egg...
Today, our little Rubi is two months old! She is growing, eating well, sleeping nicely for her mama, and she absolutely loves to get exercise. She loves to grab your fingers and pull herself up, she smiles a lot, and she loves to practice standing on her feet.
The state of Illinois is nearly bankrupt. For years, the state has spent beyond its means and ignored its unpaid bills and obligations. Illinois currently faces a budget deficit of $14-15 Billion and total debt of around $140 Billion. Paralyzed by the worst deficit in its history, the state has...
After way too many years, Flavio stopped by for a quick visit with Lucas and Ryan. In typical 90+ degrees Maryland summer heat, the natural thing to do was to invite them for a swim. The boys jumped right in. Flavio avoids being decapitated as Silas “cleans” the pool. Water...
Like last year, we went to the Baltimore Harbor for fireworks. This year had some differences, we had Enric, Miranda, Silas and baby Rubà with us! However, this year, Miquel had to work, and no Jenny either. On Chrissy’s side, we had Jim, Johnny, Britney, Adam, Sophia, and Cameron…but no...
These are a little out of order, but this was our July Forth with the Nestruck Family. Good fun for all.
