Alyssa turned 5 on the 24th. She had a great day full of Chucky Cheese fun, presents and cake! As I watch this video of her opening presents I can't help but remember the video we have from a few short Christmas' ago when she had zero interest in presents. Didn't want to touch them, pull the paper off, or want us to even be by her...just wanted to watch the same baby mozart on TV over and over....she's come such a long way and brings so much joy to our family. Happy Birthday Alyssa!

Coast Guard Academy 10-yr reunion.
About a month and a half ago Natalie and I went to Conn. to go to a Coast Guard Academy 10-yr reunion. We had a great time and I was able to see lots of old friends from my military days. I posted all my pics on my facebook page, But apparently this good friend and old roomy Katy, doesn't have facebook and got mad at me for not putting something on my blog about it. So this one's for you old roomy. This was the room we shared in Alpha company back in '95. Boy we had some good times buffing that floor! Love ya K-dawg!
This is the class of '98 about to walk on to the field before the football game. Ya, I used to wear that uniform!

While at the Academy we had a classmate, Kevin, pass away. The class was able to put together this memorial patio for him and we had a ribbon cutting ceremony with those classmates who made it out for the reunion...it was beautiful to be a part of. We miss you Kev.
After the weekend of fun and friends Natalie and I took a quick trip to NYC to visit another friend , while there we got to spend a couple short hours walking around the city. This is across the street from Ground zero and is a makeshift cross made from some of the rubble from Sept. 11. It is truly a sacred place in the middle of a busy city.

this and that
Haven't posted in a while...so here's the rundown:
Halloween was a success. The kids acquired lots of candy which I of course ate the next few days while they were at school.
This last weekend I went to the Xango convention. It was tons of fun and Xango launched its new product Glimpse.
This is me and my partner in Xango crime Daniela...WE LOVE XANGO!
