Snow in Houston 08'

We had just gotten home the day before from the hospital--Giovanni only 4 days old and he's already experienced snow.....amazing.

Corrupted Society

It's back to school for my little sister who attends UT and we decided to do a dinner at Pappasitos (Willowbrook) on Sunday night. We all had a great time and enjoyed eachothers company...it was actually Giovannis first trip to a resturant and he did great--sound asleep. When we leave the restaurant Danny puts Giovanni in the back seat and I come around to the passanger side to find my window had been busted. My brand new truck had been broken into and just about everything in it had been stolen!!!!! All I have to say is that, the punks that did it hit the jack pot....from a diamond ring, to a $500 radar, my handgun I've carried for years, DVD's, iPod and other things. But the best part of it all was that on Saturday we had Giovannis pictures taken and I had them in my truck.....apparently they didn't want those cause we found them on the floor board. I hope these thugs get caught!

I get a call from my brother who lives in Los Angeles Monday night and he tells me that his sports car got broken into that afternoon...what in the world is society coming to...not to meantion a month earlier my moms Tahoe was broken into at a 24hr fitness in broad daylight. Ya never know--we just all need to be careful and do not leave valuables in your vehicle. I made the mistake once and will never do it again.

Our Bundle of Joy

Giovanni's Birthday

Giovanni's expected due date was December 21st, but our little guy decided to join us on December 6, 2008 at 12:39pm weighing in at 7lbs. 110z and 19inches. December 6th will forever be the most memorable day of our lifes. It seems as though we just annouced we were expecting--how fast time goes by. Now that he's here and cuddled so tightly in our arms I'm afraid time will only pass us by even faster.

Giovanni: Daddy and I had been asking for a miracle and when God knew the timing was right he blessed us with you. I now can't imagine my life without you. You've brought unconditional love to all of our family and your loved so much by us all. The minute you were born you looked just like your papi--and I can't explain to you the smile he had on his face when he saw you slip out that day and how anxious he was to just hold you tight.

This was your first Christmas and you were only 19 days old. You didn't have a clue of what was going on...all you knew was that there were tons of family around and everyone waiting anxiously to hold you while mommy was making sure everyone that held you washed their hands so you wouldn't get sick so soon.

In a day or two it will be 2009 and what better way to begin a New Year than with a beautiful baby boy bundled up in our arms who's not even a month old yet. Can't wait for all the great memories in 2009.

We love you lots Giovanni!!!!
