I’ve already published some of these photos, but they got mixed in with some newer ones. Some of the photos are cell phone phones in poor light and are not very good, but I’m not deleting any of them.

My wife texted me earlier today that she wanted to buy a Dachshund. Some of these dogs have some temperament problems, but after seeing this one, and how friendly it was, I agreed. The dog is about 1 year old, was taken to our vet and we were told she had already had [...]
We’re all together at home.
Race is a quiet baby. He only cries when he needs to burp, fart, poo-poo, or when hungry. Most of the time he just smiles. Marissa tells people they don’t really need to see photos of the baby because he looks just like me. And he does.

Marissa and I went to the hospital last week for what is called a 4-D sonogram. The 4th dimension is represented by time, of course. It’s a video.

On December 1, 2007 we celebrated the 1st birthday of Alessandra Abarquez Valles, my niece by Ryan (Marissa’s brother) and Charis his lovely wife.

I figured that if Marissa is going to own guns she might as well learn how to fire them, and hit what she wants to shoot.
That’s Ansell Ladra, above, the local competitive shooting champion who just happens to be Marissa’s cousin and was one of the primary sponsors at our weddingg, instructing Marissa on how [...]
After spending a week on Camiguin Island, being very aware of all the spectacular dive spots available, and not being certified for scuba diving, I determined to find out if it was something Marissa would be intested in doing. I.e., to find out if it was worth investing the money it would take to [...]
Marissa and I brought in the new year at her Auntie’s home at Tiano-Mabini Streets in the heart of Cagayan de Oro City. There were groups of people and and down the streets in all directions, each having their own little party. Since I had drank so much at our Jose Rizal Party the night [...]
