Our family had a wonderful family reunion in Las Vegas this past week.  Since my Dad and Stepmother live in Chicago we don’t get a chance to see them that often.  This trip was especially nice since it was the very first time that my Dad and Gigi got a chance to finally meet Kyle.
As [...]

Today Monica, Kyle and I traveled up to Griffith Park in Los Angeles to participate in the Epilepsy Freedom Walk.   As many of you already know Kyle has been diagnosed with Epilepsy, an this was the first time that we were able to do something to help raise money for research and awareness of Epilepsy.
We [...]

Happy Halloween to everybody.  This is Kyle’s first Halloween, and of course he went to a couple of Halloween parties with his playgroup and at Monica’s work.  Monica had fun dressing Kyle up in his very first costume.

He looks so cute in his costume, and enjoyed playing with other children at the parties.

Since my video [...]

Saturday Monica and Kyle went over to Aunt Gail’s house to meet Tara and Finn.  Tara is a mutual friend who has a 7 month old baby boy named Finn.  This was the first time that Kyle and Finn had met, and they both enjoyed playing together.
Gail’s dog Lucy also enjoyed playing with Kyle and [...]

Monica and her Grandmother and Kyle all went to visit the Kidsfaire yesterday.   It is like a regular county fair, but specific for kids of all ages.  It was being held at the Orange County fairgrounds which is just a few miles away.
They all had such a fun time they will make sure to [...]

Wishland Family Festival
Last Saturday Monica took Kyle to the Wishland Family Festival. Wishland Family Festival is one of the worlds largest live butterfly releases. Each one of the over 500 butterflies are released in memory of the children Wishland has served or to honor those still battling their illnesses. They encourage the [...]

The rock group’s spokesman, Doug Wright, who’s unrelated, said Wright died after a battle with cancer at his home in Britain. He said the band member’s family did not want to give more details about his death.

Well today Monica and I took Kyle for his very first visit to the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland.  At first I was against the idea because Kyle is almost 8 months old, and I thought he wouldn’t have much fun since he couldn’t really go on any rides or understand a whole lot.  But [...]

I am participating in the 17th Annual CHOC/Disneyland Resort Walk in the Park, and I need your help. As a walker, I’m trying to raise as much money as I can to help the children of CHOC. Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) is a very special place where any child can receive the medical [...]

Today at my work we held the 15Th Annual Los Angeles Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Show.  This is our biggest yearly event, and has turned out to be a favorite of mine, as well as our customers.  It always seems to attract hundreds of people interested in checking out some beautiful machines that have been customized by [...]

We were lucky and happy to have Monica’s Grandparents buy Kyle a new bouncer.  A bouncer is basically a device that Kyle can stand up in and bounce up and down.  It also keeps him entertained, because there are several things mounted on it that Kyle can interact and play with.  He seems to get [...]

Friday night Monica and I watched the opening ceremonies for the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing, China. It was a very impressive opening, and it shows how much training and planning the Chinese people have spent on this. From what I have read they spent over $300 million dollars and had a cast [...]

Today my family went to our yearly trip to the Orange County Fair. This is an annual event that comes to our town in July.  People come from all over southern California to enjoy a day and night of fun activities.  They have concerts, carnival rides and lots of good food.  They also have animals and [...]

Not much new information to post today. I came home from work and Kyle seemed to be in a pretty good mood. I grabbed the digital camera and he seemed happy to talk. He seems fascinated with the camera, and just stares into it, ignoring anything else around him. Maybe he will [...]

We were lucky enough to have Monica’s brother Tony visit us for a few days. He flew in from Virginia earlier this week, and is going to spend a few weeks in California. We only got a few days with him, but it was very nice to see him again. It also [...]

Aunt Gail came by this week for another visit with Kyle.  Kyle just loves her so much!  Aunt Gail also loves to play and laugh with Kyle.  This time she fed Kyle some food, and he enjoyed it very much!
Thanks Aunt Gail for sending those photos over so we all can enjoy them.

I just [...]

Yesterday Kyle had a visit from Aunt Gail.  He always is so very happy when she stops by to say hello, and spend a few hours with him.  He definitely knows her very well, and his face lights up whenever he sees her.  Monica and I are very happy and fortunate to have such a [...]

My Dad just sent me a wonderful short film called Historia de un letrero.  Translated it means History of a sign. It is a five minute video which I encourage everyone to watch.  I almost guarantee it will put a smile on your face.
