another post?

Yes crazy. So you might be asking, why all the new posts all of a sudden? Well.. I took a vacation day to run errands and take care of a few things that can really only be done during the work week. But of course that is the precise moment that Vince decides to get a 104F temperature. And to top it off, Vince's mom decides that since Vince was sick, she might as well get sick too.

As such, I was stuck at the house taking care of a sick kid, and a sick grown person. Since they were asleep most of the time, it left me some time to blog.

On a side note, we took Vince to the doctor regarding his fever. And while sitting in the waiting room, he pukes all over me. Of course we have a change of clothes for him, but I had nothing. Jen ran downstairs to the gift shop to find a T-shirt for me. Of course this is all they had. Don't even ask how much she paid for it.

Anyway here are some new Vincent promotional videos.

Vince eating cheerios as only he can. Yummy indeed

Below is general foolishness. Not to be confused with Colonel Sanders.

Chloe's mom and dad were interviewed by the local tv station. Good chance for them to pimp their new business. See if you can find Chloe. And if you are really smart, see if you can find a near appearance by Vincent

El update grande

delinquent - adjective - failing in what duty requires; "derelict (or delinquent) in his duty"; "neglectful of his duties";

Hello to the 3 or 4 of you that are still checking this blog. Its been quite some time since I've actually written something of significance here. What have we been doing the past few months. Not much, except for the 2 weeks we spent on the other side of the planet in November. More to come on that

Broken down into months for easy reading.

AUGUST
Quick trip to Dallas to see Grandma and Grandpa. Here is Vincent and Grandpa at the splash park.







SEPTEMBER
Vincent goes to his first Longhorn tailgate. Horns beat TCU that night. No comment on the rest of the season.





Auntie Vanessa visits from Manilla. Kind of a big deal, since getting a visa from that part of the world is like winning the lottery. Just a short trip, but you'll see more of auntie later down the page










OCTOBER
For Halloween Vincent went dressed as Toby Maguire








NOVEMBER
Lets skip for now

DECEMBER
After our exhausting November, we spent a very quiet and low key Christmas. Mostly quiet nights with friends and family. The Svobodas came into town for a visit. Luke and Vince decided they wanted to ride Vince's toy cop motorcycle.....together. This reminded of a very disturbing episode of CHiPs that I probably (even more disturbingly) just imagined.

Also congrats to the Benos.










Back to

NOVEMBER
Ahh yes...the trip. We spent the last few weeks in Nov, visiting family in the Philippines and in Taiwan. Anyone else traveled internationally with a 17 month old?
I'll paste just a few pictures below, but if you want to see all of the pictures click here

Philippines
Taipei

Some Notes
1) Portable DVD player. I thougt that we overpaid for this thing, but it was worth every single green dollar that we spent on it.
2) The trip. 16 hr flight, 2 layovers, 30 hours total travel time. No need to sugarcoat how hard this part of the trip is. But Vincent did extremely well. The DVD player and a bag full of snacks and toys was the key. He threw a fit on the last hour of the trip. We couldnt have asked for anything more.
3) The jetlag. not too bad for the grown folks. Horrible for Vince. Again the DVD player was a life saver.
4) Life in Auntie's city - Shopping malls, no car seat required, screaming with Kuya Josh. Fun
5) Life on Grandma's farm - too many cousins to play with. Too many goats to slaughter. Too much Karaoke to sing. Too many San Mig Lights. Fun.
6) Life on Grandpa's Beach - breezy. relaxing. San Miguel. Papa ate a
duck embryo. Fun.
7) Life in Great Grandma's big city - survived a typhoon. Vincent got kicked out of an R Rated movie. fun.

Whew...that was long one. later
