Wow! Okay, three things...I am amazed and grateful and a little overwhelmed at the generous outpouring of kindness and good wishes from all of you. I am sad that I can't give something away to every single person. I am excited to send stuff to three of you. =)I made a list of all your names in order of comment and plugged that into ...
My Big, Fat, Cuban Family
Indy and Daisy
My grandniece, Daisy, loves Indiana Jones. (Seriously, what's NOT to like??) Not just the movies that have his name, but the ride at Disneyland - The Temple of the Forbidden Eye. (Which is on the top five list of attractions to see there for us, but that's not important right now.) My (ever-resourceful) son, Jonathan is also a lover of ...
The Grand Poobah of Cuteness
My grand-nephew, Ben is celebrating a birthday today. This beautiful boy is probably the most photographed child of this century. There is a really good reason. He is just too cute. I know.Super cute, right? High cuteness factor. Cuteness oozes from his pores. In fact, he represents four years worth of cuteness. (Today is his fourth ...
A Good Man
Today is Eric's birthday and I want him to know that he's loved and valued and and respected and cherished. This seemed an appropriate tribute. I seriously LOVE this man. He just makes me happy and I intend to love him for the longest time...Enjoy. ...
Always an Adventure
When people ask about my family of origin, I always explain that I am the youngest of six. We are five girls and one boy. (Technically, it's nowhere near accurate to call any of us "girls and boy" anymore, but that's not important right now.) My point (and I do have one) is that when I give that tidbit of family history, ...
How the Uber-geek calendar works
You know... with a big, fat, Cuban family like mine, there's bound to be a birthday every month.And I'm bound to forget some birthdays, too. (Sue me. I'm human. =D) But I remembered that today is my niece, Natalie's birthday. Happy Birthday, Natzinhimer!NOTE: I remember this date because, being an uber-geek, we celebrate ...
Not enough superlatives
My nephew, John-Paul was married last Friday to the lovely Jennifer Jo. There are not enough superlatives to describe how perfectly beautiful the entire affair was. (Except for the part where my sisters and mom showed up at a different wedding claiming to be the groom, John-Paul's aunts and grandmother. "That's great, but this is ...
I didn’t forget you, John
When you have as many people as I do in my big, fat, Cuban family, practically every day is a celebration. Weddings. Engagements. Birthdays. Weddings. Birthdays. Weddings and Birthdays. ad infinitum. And sadly, there are a few that I've missed or have fallen through the blog-cracks. (I feel bad. *sigh*) Today is my nephew, John-Paul's ...
You have my permission…
This is for my niece, Nicole and her new husband, Isaac, who have been BUSY this last month. (It's not like she had an old husband or anything, I mean that he is new to her, as in they are newlyweds, or freshly married, or....oh, you know what I mean....) Here's some wordle word art I made for you:These two have had an awfully ...
Sapo verde eres tu
I don't know her very well, because, well, she lives in Miami and I'm here in So Cal. We've a little bit of face-time in the past year, but not enough to where I can say I know everything there is to know about her. But I do know this..... Not only did my nephew, Michael, fall in love with her, so has every single person in our big, ...
