Laura’s 16th
Laura’s birthday party was a small gathering of family and friends. What wasn’t expected was the HILARITY that made the meal and cake. Yaya made a funny and the laughter didn’t stop all the rest of the night. We started the evening with one of Laura’s favorites, Alaskan crab legs. Jenny was in from college and joined us for our family get-together. For her cake, Laura chose from Cold Stone Creamery, Strawberry Passion. Basically its a red velvet, strawberry … Read entire article »

My Little Girl is 16
It’s hard to believe that 16 years ago today I waddled into the hospital, with the entire staff looking at my stomach and accusing me of eating the whole Thanksgiving turkey. Eight hours later, Laura was born. She was perfect. Smiling. The most beautiful little girl. She was a perfect 10. Her brother held her and she looked deep into Enric’s eyes as if he was her hero. Happy birthday, my princess. … Read entire article »

Britney Turns 21
Seems like yesterday we went to Britney’s second birthday party… Today she turned 21. Earlier in the week Britney messaged me on Facebook to see if we were coming to her party at Cheeseburger in Paradise. I had never gone there and all week, my mouth was watering to try one of their cheeseburgers. We arrived a little late (I left home and forgot her present!) A second attempt and we arrived with everything. The birthday girl was even later … Read entire article »

New Lens
In yet ANOTHER early birthday present, my mom gave me a new camera lens. It wasn’t expensive, so I was dubious about its quality. After doing some research and hearing some testimonies, I felt it would be a good lens for portraits. I have already been thinking about adding portraits to my photography. Laura was my first “victim” and we set aside today for our first photoshoot together. For the rest of the photos, have a look … Read entire article »

Cameron is One!
It’s truly a blessing to have lifelong friends. When the friendship just holds to the time when your daughters become as good of friends that we were at their age…..when that friendship carries on to the point when their grandchild turns one, and you get to be a part of that, it is even more special. Today we went to Cameron’s first birthday party. Cameron is indeed a special little boy. I am so glad I get to love on … Read entire article »

Laura Turns 14
It’s hard to believe my baby is 14. I remember 14. Because I remember 14, I appreciate the young lady Laura is. She is bright, lively, energetic, thoughtful, and loving. Just don’t get on her bad side. Laura decided to spend her birthday, this year the day after Thanskgiving, to have a small affair; a day at the mall, getting her nails done with friends, shopping, and then take in a movie. The movie then followed … Read entire article »

He’s 18!
Miquel turned 18 today. I regard this as a very big event, and as usual style, it should take all this week to properly celebrate it. In fact, it started last Friday, with a birthday trip to Holabird for new tennis shoes. Today started out slow, but soon enough, it was time to prepare Miquel’s favorite dish, (my favorite, too) Fideos a la Casola. All the usuals were there. Mike, Ross, Laura. Ross and Heather joined later. The … Read entire article »

The birthday that will never end…
Tomorrow is Laura’s official birthday, and because it falls on Thanksgiving, we seemed to have started way ahead of the actual day with her party on the 4th, and it still carries on. Today, we had a small family get-together at Olive Tree, where I gave her part two in her round of presents from her mama, a Nikon Camera. Tomorrow we will continue the birthday celebrations with even more of the family, and then we … Read entire article »

Miquel’s Birthday (part 2)
My children seem to have been blessed with a mom who doesn’t just believe in a birthday “day’. It always somehow stretches into a “birthday month”. They don’t seem to be complaining. The first celebration Miquel had for turning 16 was basically just the family. Yesterday, we invited a few dozen of his friends for a ‘real’ party. Some family came, and that was wonderful to have his cousins here. Mike and Steve spent the night prior … Read entire article »
