Well, dare I say...almost forgot I had a blog! We just entered into 2017, a year with Don Trump becoming President, Myself turning 44 (and baby Viviana 1!), and our 4th wedding anniversary. We also had a recent death in the family - my father-in-law Mike. So that has put a damper on the activities lately. All this has taken place in the past 30 days.
It's exciting to see Viviana start to crawl, then stand, then walk, and all the other things she is learning to do (smile, eat, react, feed dad!, play games, learn that the remote control turns the fan/lights on, etc). We hopefully will have an announcement soon that a second child is on the way...but until then, I have time to convert the "guest room" into the new nursery.
We are enjoying life in Coral Springs, the house and yard look good. The dogs (Lilly and Maxwell) love running around, as well as the long walks we take as a family almost every night. I think we have a possum out back that gets them all fired up sometimes, when he moves around at night.
Christine is doing OK, loving being a mom - for sure! Still finds it challenging to work and take care of the (one) child. Wait til number 2 comes along... we do have Ruth, our Nanny, helping for a few hours each day. She had fun making Viviana's first birthday cake, We hosted a party of friends, family, neighbors, and we all sang to her.
My health is good, my knees havent given me any MAJOR problems, so I have been able to play basketball at least once a week for the past year. The occassional sore back, tricep, shoulder, etc... continue to be pestering injuries, but I am just dealing with it. I snowboarded a couple weeks ago in VAIL, and look forward to the new softball season which just ramped up again.

That's the quick wrap up for now. Maxwell is standing next to me, it's 1am, and he needs to go outside potty :o|
