A New Day Dawns

Hello Family. Today feels like a new day dawning and I wanted to share my random thoughts with you.

Steve is now 25 (quarter century) old. How can that be?

We are in the post-Bush era. There are some gargantuan problems facing the world and it is time for ALL of us to be about solutions and not about making the problems worse. Neither ignorance nor apathy will deliver us from these challenges; only our resolve and work.

Anyway, new dawn. Let's assume the worst is astern and start focusing upon making ourselves, our family, and our world a better place; one deed and one day at a time.

I love you all dearly,

DAD

Happy Birthday Stevo!!

We love you!!!

It's a Small World After All.....

Dad - the title is for you because I know that your *favorite* ride! :)

Angel - Thanks for the March post....how cute!! I see he is enjoying his coloring pad in one of the pics...I hope he likes it.

Here are some Disneyland and Universal pics from last week. We had a blast.

Sofia is finally adjusting to her school. She doesn't want to leave when I come to pick her up now. She has made a new friend (Lily) and they play everyday. Sofia is getting closer everyday to being potty trained now that I bought her "big girl panties." She is still obsessed with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and would watch it for hours if I let her.

The housing fire has been temporarily put out as Stacy has decided to stay put, I however, am still looking as I do not like being put in that position! Have a few appointments on Monday (holiday for us) to look at places. Should be fun.

Mike and I are signing a new custody agreement on Monday and his new days will be Monday and Tuesday. He is also being slammed by Child Support Services for not declaring his new salary at his new job....haha...SUCKA! New child support should be 'round $500...nice!

LOVE YOU GUYS AND MISS YOU!!

Llanya....where you at?????

Marco Diego Turns Two

Got my vans on but they look like sneakers!

Xmas 2008, Costa Rica Baby!

We like mohawks too, dude (and mullets, of course!)

You can't really see it but Edwin (Afro's son) is giving Marco a Mohawk! And of course, the obligatory mullett that everyone must experience in their lifetime!

While i can be a manly man, I am also in touch with my feminine side (notice the sparkly shoes!)
