A new dye

Sammy has been dyeing his hair lately. I'm sure his new hair color is going to look cute.

Happy New Year from Sammy

A nose job

Greg had a little surgery this morning. He has been a mouth breather all his life, and often times his nose is stuffed up. His doctor recommended a surgical removal of his adenoids. It is a simple procedure that only took 30 minutes, even though it required a complete anasthesia. 

Greg was back home by 10:30 this morning, and he's doing well.

The Alamo

We doing a short tour of Texas with stops in Houston and San Antonio to apply for new passports, do the riverwalk, visit some friends and to see the Alamo.

Originally named Misión San Antonio de Valero, the Alamo served as home to missionaries and their Indian converts in San Antonio for nearly seventy years. Construction began on the present site in 1724.

San Antonio and the Alamo played a critical role in the Texas Revolution. In December 1835, Ben Milam led Texian and Tejano volunteers against Mexican troops quartered in the city. On February 23, 1836, the arrival of General Antonio López de Santa Anna's army outside San Antonio nearly caught them by surprise. Undaunted, the Texians and Tejanos prepared to defend the Alamo together. The defenders held out for 13 days against Santa Anna's army. Today, the Alamo is remembered as a heroic struggle against impossible odds — a place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

300 dollars or an iPhone

Dear Santa,

I want 300 dollars or more for Christmas please.

Please Santa, I don't think I'll save enough. :-(
