Wish you could be here to celebrate your birthday Mom!  Don’t worry, we’ll have all the stuff you like for your birthday.  Barbecued ribs, potato salad, and heck we’ll even throw in some sushi.  We miss you and are happy to know you are watching over us.

Mom

Love you,
Rolando and Ebru

To my brother Joe who passed away on Monday, August 11th.

Thanks Joe!  Thanks for everything!  For taking care of Rich and me when we were young.  For not having any judgments and for being a good role model.

You left behind a great legacy and a wonderful family.  It was great to spend time with Stephanie and the rest of the family.  It’s no wonder you were so happy.

You had a little slice of Heaven in Ridgecrest.  Take care Joey and say hi to Mom and Buffy.

Your brother,
Rolando

It’s a day our family has been waiting for. Diego has graduated from the 8th grade today! The graduation was held at Diego’s middle school, Albert Einstein in Sacramento. It was a perfect day to have an outdoor graduation.

I forgot how it was being his age. They sure don’t make kids like they used too. Here are the pictures and you can judge for yourself. Diego has a break for high school. Hopefully he’ll be ready for the world. If not, we’ll be there to support him. Way to go Diego! Congrats!
