We have Isaiah all signed up and he has attended 2 practices already. T-Ball is going to be a full commitment this Fall – there are 18 games on the calendar.
Check the Family Calendar to the right – I’ve put them all on there. Hope to see you all at some of the games.
Thank goodness for my cousin Wanda for keeping me on point !
I’ve been meaning to post this video and some pictures from my east coast trip for a long time, just never sat down and did it.
I, of course, had a GREAT time seeing my east coast family – it has been way to long since I was home (I think we figured it was about 15 years). That length of time away won’t happen again – I promise you that.
This past Friday Jordan presented to her class one of her favorite Christmas traditions; she chose rolling grape leaves and making sarma.
She spoke on how it tradition started with “Little Grandma” when she came to America from Armenia, and how everyone sits around the table rolling the meat in the leaves and having a good old time.
It was touching to see Jordan instructing her class for the 10 minutes of her hands-on presentation.
We’ve definitely kicked off the holiday season with a splash this year.
Jen did the very cool surprise party for me at the Amber House, we then attended a little neighborhood Halloween party where I ate almost everything that was on the table and Jen participated in a bit of karaoke (I did get pictures, but sorry no video).
Then we ended the weekend by celebrating Dad’s birthday with friends and family here at our house. I’m not sure it get’s any better than it is, but if it does…I can’t wait !!
I wanted to take an opportunity to say thank you to each and every one of you that came to and participated in the surprise party Jen threw for me last weekend.
I was truly surprised and remain truly humbled and grateful that all the people that mattered most were either there in attendance, or were on the invite list and for whatever reason were unable to attend.
My rationale in writing this letter is because, as many of you know, I’m much better in written form than in verbal (I was going to do a video chat and post it here on the site). But, I tend to get emotional and drift when talking from the heart so I thought I’d spare each of us that, and simply write my thoughts down.
I love each of you dearly. I truly appreciate your friendship and support as I continue on this life journey.
Pray for me and my family as I will do the same for you.
