03 Jun 2020 - New Addition To the Family

Some Good During These Troubled Times

Maaaaan, time flies! It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was putting Desi, as a toddler, in her inflatable tutu and taking her into the pool at the house in Presidential Lakes, NJ. I also remember sneaking her out of the tutu, because she didn't look like she needed it. Now that I think back, at my age, that probably wasn't a good decision. I was confident that I could "save" her if need be. She didn't need saving. She swam like a fish.

I remember your love for Ariel, Goosebumps, bacon, apple juice and the one I understand the least, school.

I remember the countless hand claps and "Ready, OK(s)!", during the cheer leading stages.

I know you remember the key incident (wink), Wielerbach, Germany.

You are the most diligent when it comes to keeping our widely spread family in touch and informed. And again, you liked school, but I won't hold that against you.

Watching you grow, become a woman and attain your success has been amazing.

Now, you're Devani's mom. I'm sure, just as I knew you wouldn't sink, that you'll be great!

I would love to include a photo of my new niece, Devani here, but I don't have mom and dad's permission yet. I saw that photo of you laying in bed with that hair looking like Blanca from Street Fighter. I'm not going up against that. I don't want that kind of smoke.

Good luck to you Marq! A baby girl!!! When this day comes, I'm here for you brotha!

We're looking forward to seeing you all when this madness is over.

I love you.

Heidi's first US Kids Golf Tournament 08/30/20

Heidi not only had her first competition ever, but her first US Kids Golf tournament!! I don't want to sound conceitedly biased, but my kids are the freaking best! Heidi's attitude and demeanor the entire time was her typical bouncy happy self and that made me super happy because I don't want anything they do as entertainment to ever become so serious that its no longer fun. Let me tell you though, Heidi showed up at the Fox Den golf course to PLAY SOME FREAKIN GOLF!! she played the best game she has EVER played. She swung those clubs like she has been doing this way longer than March. She finished with a 58 on 9 holes, coming in second to a little girl who has been doing this for 2 years and finished with a 56. 3 strokes behind a girl who has been doing this for 2 years. Jay did fantastic as her caddy, giving advise when needed, but mostly letting her just play her game and have fun. As you can hear in the background of the video I was a freaking mess of anxiet...

Finally- We Closed!!!

Our 8 Acres of Paradise 2020 has been something else so far. With all that has been going on, our celebration at the end of this journey was a little lack luster. We are extremely happy, but we are exhausted. COVID-19, put us through it on this one, but not as much as many others. We had delay, after delay, after delay, followed by scrambling to correct errors. Finally its ours! Still, its hard to be completely over the moon, emotionally, with everything that is going on. We have a lot to do and we will have a ball doing it. Time to write a new chapter. I will have much better photos soon. I know a guy.

We are still having a ball and trying to stay safe from COVID, as I hope you all are too. BUT!!!!!!!! You have to check out these trail cam photos!!!! These are just some of the bucks. We have over 1500 photos of deer in just a couple of weeks. We are stocked! Haiden is about to give it his first attempt on Youth Weekend, this Saturday and Sunday. I'll keep you posted.
