Wow! Another year! Today I celebrate the 8th anniversary of my 29th birthday!!

This is my Dad, Mom, sister Esther, and baby brother Stephen...my two sons and well, ME!

My brother is busting up because I nearly fell over that armchair and took down the drapes to get beside him before the timer flipped the switch. I am lucky I didn't take down the entire group!

You know I realized something today I was filing through my photos...most of them digital since getting to the print ones is just too time consuming. Well, I began to wonder why I take so many pictures. Why? What is the reason for it? Some of my friends just think I am nucking futs. But you know what...it says I have been here. I was there. I seen this or that....I was. I am.

Cool huh?

So here I am. I was here...on April 21, 2007. I was home with my family sharing a quiet evening in. One where my 2 year doesn't upset the the earths rotation on it's axis or that of anyone else axis for that matter.

I was here.
I saw.

I am.

R.I.P - Don Ho

Better late than never.

The post that is.

Narry a party goes on, with my uncle Joaquin involved, when the song Tiny Bubbles isn't played.

I didn't own any albums by Don Ho. Don't have any of his tunes on my iPod. But I do have fond memories of the man and his music.

Rest in Peace Don.

Orchiopexy

Ok, so in my line of work I have coded this procedure many times. I never expected to have to worry about helping one of my own little men through it!

Troi is having surgery later today and as you can see I cannot sleep. My poor little man. If he's nervous, I can't tell because he is out like a light. Good thing. I am hoping to catch some much needed Z's of my own here in a few.

I am particularly tired and just wanted to get this out there.

Say a prayer for the little guy...and for me too. I am experiencing some anxiety about this and I am certain it's normal.

I recall a time when Kai was first in the NICU and I wanted to snatch him out of his bed and just run away...well, I am having that same feeling now about Troi. I want to run away with him past this moment in time just to get through it.
