My first video post

It's not quite the right time of year for this, but here is the first semi-video that I am posting.





This is a collection of pictures from Christmas 2006.

Here's hoping that I can figure out how to even attach a video to the blog.....

You Tube currently says it will take up to 6 hours for the video to be playable. As this is the first, I guess they know better. We'll see in the morning..........

Good night...........

Blog Techno Update...

Good news. You no longer have to have a Google account to post comments on our blog.

Click on comments to add comments and you have the option of adding comments using an account, or just your name, or even anonymously.

That should make this page a bit more accessible.

Suggestions are always encouraged.....

Hot summer days....



Kayla spent a 95 degree typical summer afternoon in the fountains of Celebration.

Next time we'll be in Celebration will be on the Fourth of July for the best fireworks outside of Disney (which costs $60 per person to get into). Kayla will have a one day old sister that day.

Kayla went clothes shopping Sunday morning. I think I'm just starting to get the feeling that having a daughter (OMG, almost two of them) is going to be torture in the future. She is getting a little more choosey with her clothing choices. We're up to Old Navy now. I'm not looking forward to Abercrombie or American Eagle.....

I didn't know they marketed perfume to 3 and a half year olds??????

Surprise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elisa came home to a surprise today. Her family planned a baby shower for her. They let me in on the plan so I could get her out of the house. We came back to our house, full of decorations, food and plenty of baby apparel. It couldn't have been better.

Thank you to everybody for a great day!!!!

We are still on for July 3rd at this point. It is planned for 7:30am (meaning we have to be there by 5:30am). That actually works out well. Elisa can't eat or drink past midnight the day before. If the procedure was much after 8am, she would be dying of hunger.

The other peice of good news is that we FINALLY got a computer. It has been difficult staying on top of this blog, but we should be back on track from here forward.

Check back often. We have plenty to keep you informed on. The new baby, Kayla, the family, all of the house work. You get the picture.

Birth date of the new baby!!!!

As many of you already know, the new baby will be a C-Section delivery. Well, today we found out the likely date of the delivery.....

July 3, 2007

That's right... If all goes as planned, the baby will be born on the morning of the "Lake of Fire."

We will be sure to post lots of pictures of the new addition to the family.

Day 2 of Hurricane Season 2007....

What a start.... On the first day of 2007, we have our first tropical storm of the year. It was also the first day of rain we have had in a few months. Sure looks like an active year to me. Hotels have to be the worst place to work during hurricanes. First problem is, during a storm you want to be home to ensure your property makes it through OK. Well, the owners of the hotel also want to make sure their property makes it through. In other words, it's all hand on deck during the storm. We work 24 hour shifts from the day before the storm until the day after cleanup is completed. Now try being a hotel family where you and your spouse both work in different hotels. This makes it a bit more complicated. Both parties have to work 24 hour shifts in different locations. Who takes care of the house and dog? Who takes care of the kids?

Can you tell how thrilled I am to be back in Florida for the first time since we got hit with four major hurricanes in one season??? Well, for the good news... Mosquitos can't fly very well in hurricane force winds. In fact, a light breeze can save quite a bit of pain.
