Well – we just got home with our sick son. We ended it about a day early. He and Mommy are on their way to the ER because he’s really sick. To fill you in – while Emmy and I went to go visit the Sea Turtle Rescue farm – […]

102 degrees…
Not the weather – my son’s temperature. Seems the evil bad spirits are following us. My son Joaquin got sick on Saturday. He was coughing alot so we knew we were heading for the coast so we didn’t want to take any chances. Liz took him to the Texas Med Clinic […]
Made it to South Padre!
Well, we made it to South Padre Island to begin our two day relaxation with the kiddos. We left a little late (10:30am) and had to drive through some hellacious thunder storms but once we crossed the Port Isabel bridge…the clouds parted and the angels sang…or Sea Gulls just said, […]

Our dog Maximus (we call him Max for short) killed another coral snake in our backyard over the weekend. Click on the pictures for a larger view. This is the third coral snake that he has killed. We had been told by our neighbors that they had seen coral snakes […]
