Happy Birthday Grandpa Q!

Today is Grandpa Q's birthday and we are celebrating! We went all out with cupcakes, candles, party hats and the Happy Birthday song. The only thing missing was Grandpa of course, but he is very much in our thoughts and never far from our minds. Grandpa... we wish you a very happy birthday and we miss you very much. We hope your day was a happy one.

All our love,

Chris, Marisa, Owen, Ana & Zoey

How I wish I could be there to enjoy it with you. At my age, it's just "another birthday", but with 2 wonderful grandchildren celebrating in my honor, it really "made my day". You are the best!! Thank you again!!
With much love and lots of kisses!!

Anonymous said...: Wow! What a great party! It looks like you all had a great time celebrating Gradpa's birthday. Looking back through some of the receent posts, it seems like a lot has been going on. Ana looks so cute as she is standing and trying to move around; before you know it she will be running all over the house with Owen. It's great that Owen got to play in his pool, and fly a kite and is using the "magic word". They are so cute and we miss you all so much.
Love lots,

Hello!

Welcome to our blog. This was started as a means to keep our friends and family in touch and up to date with our lives while we lived in lovely Vancouver, BC from 2006 - 2011, and in Boston, MA from 2011 - 2013. I took a break from blogging for a long while but since Boston, we did a 6 month stint in beautiful Denver, CO and then ultimately ended up in San Francisco, CA in Feburary of 2014 where we currently reside. Chris' job has taken us across the continent 3 times, sometimes far, sometimes near but mostly far.

We would much rather be up close and personal in person but since distance is between us and those we hold close and love, this is a pretty good way of closing that gap a bit. Not only that, but this has turned into a diary of some sorts featuring my son, Owen and daughter, Ana. It is a way of preserving those moments that have made us laugh, cry and grow, something I hope to present to them when they're older and curious about how they were as children.

With the kids older and Chris and I feeling nostalgic, Chris not-so-subtly hinted that he missed the posts that I used to put on here. So did I. I wasn't sure I could remember my log-in password in order to resume where I last left off but hey... Something must've worked because here I am! Again. Hi. How have you been? It's been way too long, right? Yea... I know but that's life. It passes you by fast and the jump from my last post from August 2012 to 2016 is evidence of that.

Love,
Marisa
