Oops!

So I have to confess, it's been many many months since my last post. Shame on me!  Today I applied for a position that asked for a blog address; clearly I need to be more attentive!  So going forward I will update this blog accordingly.  

Our next big adventure is just tee minus 19 days and counting...

We are heading first to England, skipping on over to the Emerald Island of Ireland and then wrapping up our adventure in Germany!  

Tomorrow, November 4th, could be an historic day! So, please do your part and VOTE! Vote, not simply because it's your civic duty and so many before us gave their lives for the right to do so, but vote because you care about what happens to our country and to those who work so hard to achieve the "American Dream". Be an informed voter and a rational voter and please vote beyond your own emotional and self-interests.....after all, we are ALL Americans and we are in this together! We are not a country of individuals, but rather a collective working towards a common good......life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Don't we ALL deserve these things?

Ay, Ay, Ay I am the Chico Bandito!

As you may or may not have heard, Chandi has a new addition to the family. It is our pleasure to welcome "Chico Bandito" to our casa! Chico is just a little guy. He's about six weeks old or so and is a chiuaua/ terrier mix with maybe some beagle. Whatever he is, he is definitely fiesty and fearless. He is fitting in very well with the other two kids (a.k.a. Fiona and Jynx). He has already had quite an adventurous week in Chi-town. He already walks on a leash, climbs all of our stairs, sleeps through the night (mostly), and has been to work with Andi. He is totally up for living in the City and rolling with it all. Thanks to Aunt Linda and Nelvin for bringing Mr. Chico into our lives. He is a welcome addition!
