My Brother Tony

In this life, we met many, many people, but few actually touch our lives. This past Sunday, the world lost a truly special person, in that of Tony Nyamweya. We met on Christmas Eve 2002, when I picked him up from the airport, fresh off the plane from Kenya, and sadly he left my life just 1 week before our 3 year anniversary of knowing each other. Tony was a part of my entire family, he even video taped my family's special events, including my wedding. Every time I watch my wedding, I will hear and see Tony. Sadly Tony moved away this past year to the East coast and I didnt get to see him as much, but luckily I did see him when i was 5 months pregnant with my first child. The photo I have in my gallery is of that day, the last time I saw Tony. But we spoke very often and I always felt that Tony and i were responsible for so many of our friends, he loved taking care of people and making sure everyone else was happy. He did everything for everyone, with not a thought of how it would effect his life. He is everyones big brother and even now will be watching over all of us, still being my protective big brother. And I can find happiness in that. Tony always had a huge smile and solved everything with his laugh. We have way to many memories to share here, but from bonfires on the beach,clubs, after parties, his dorm room, and even our lunch dates or church or our hour long conversations on the phone when we couldnt be together, i cheerish each and every minute of them. He was always the first to share my big news with and now I know he still will be. Tony I love you brother and we all miss you dearly. May you rest in peace and God bless your soul.

No Place Like Home

Theres no place like home! ( I feel like Dorothy in Wizard of OZ) Thats right ladies and gents, were coming home for the holidays. Its been a hectic 6 months since our last visit home, but an even more crazy 6 wks since our daughter was born. Cant wait to see everyone, and for you all to meet our little latin princess. She will melt your heart and this time we are home for at least a few weeks. Oh what times will be had. See you all soon (well those of you in SD anyways)

1 month

Can you believe its been over a month already since my daughter was born? Well I cant, but I do have to say, I love being a momma. I cant wait to have more kids, for this child has been such a joy already. We have new pixs up on our webpage, enjoy them. For I love taking them.... http://homepage.mac.com/ohfive

Sorry to have been quite for so long. I just love the summer and sun and have been doing my best to enjoy every minute of it. Not to mention enjoy my last few months before the baby comes, due in about 4 weeks now. Hope everyone is doing well and keep in touch!

Back "home"

Home is a lot of places for us, but for now, since this is where the birth of our 1st child will take place, this is home... for now. I am back home in Montreal. My visits to San Diego and Utah were the best. So much fun, it took me a week to recover when I got back to Montreal. I just want to say, Thank you to all of you who took time out of your schedules to hook up, while I was in town. Your the best, we love you all! I did all the things I always do, being pregnant didnt stop any of it. I loved it! We got some local trips planned coming up, New York, Toronto, Quebec City if any one is up for a road trip. As for returning to SD and UT, we are hoping some time before Christmas. Seems like a long time, but we are going to go to Brasil once the baby is born. Its time for this kid to meet the other side of the family too! Anyways its all a summer away, so we will be in touch before then. We just wanted to say hi, oh and plug our new pixs, check them out if you havent already... http://homepage.mac.com/ohfive/Menu4.html

Like I'd Stay Still

So yeah we moved safe and sound to Canada, again. Just love this place, wont go into details, but just that we are finally happy here. But as the free spirit I am and love traveling woman, I am off on another road trip. No not Toronto, that was 2 weekends ago, I am talking about home, to good ol'sunny SAN DIEGO! Bought my ticket for my last pre-baby visit, and I am out of here..... be home June 4th. So clear the schedules, Im coming home!!!!! Cant wait to see all of you, so see you soon. -h

Bye Bye States

Well everyone, Its that time again. Time to pack up all we own, and drive to Canada. I am so excited to get out of where we live now, I have been counting the days for months now. So we wont be online till we get set up in our new place. So play nice and we will talk to ya soon. As for the baby pool we went for our ultra sound but baby had its legs crossed, so looks like we all have to wait a bit longer to buy blue or pink. Chau for now!
