Christopher's Dedication

On Sunday July 16, Christopher was dedicated to God at our church, Christ Tabernacle. Pastor Rivera, who has been a great friend and mentor to me and my wife, dedicated Christopher. Family and friends, from all over the country, came to celebrate this special day with us. It was a perfect day, really HOT!!, but perfect. God truly blessed the day.

Happy 7th Month Christopher

On July 3rd, Christopher made 7 months. My Goodness, how time is flying. He is now starting to stand on his own, even though he has not mastered crawling yet, he is standing in his crib and basically wants to get out. He is so cute when he wakes up, because now he just stands up and starts yelling for us to come and get him. Well, we don't run right away to get him..... ;)

Happy 7th Wedding Anniversary

I wanted to take this time to honor my wife on this our 7th Wedding Anniversary.

I have to admit, being with Lina has made me a better person. She has stuck by me like any good woman does and also she was willing to put her career on the side to raise our son Christopher. She has been a strong Christian woman, who has had the faith for both of us when times seemed too hard to bear. She's always optomistic about our future dreams and never has she doubted that God would bless our lives together.

So today, I honor my wife for her love, and for always standing by my side. She is a great Mother, a great friend and most importantly a Great Wife. God truly Blessed me when he brought her into my life 15 years ago.

I love you Baby and Happy 7th Anniversary.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Sunday June 18th, I celebrated my first Father's Day with Christopher and Lina. It was a surreal feeling. I always looked at this day as a way to honor my dad, my uncles, my grandfather, even my family and friends who are Dad's. But waking up yesterday to know that this day I can finally celebrate along with them, was an overwhelming feeling.

It was a good day all around. Also received nice gifts as well.

What a Baby Face

Happy 6 Months Christopher

On June 3rd, Christopher turned 6 months. If you look at his 5 months picture and now his 6 months picture, my God, this child is growing so big so fast. He is growing into a little boy, no longer a baby. Hold on a second while we wipe our tears.........................

Trip to Rockaway Beach

On May 24th, we decided to take a trip to Rockaway Beach to have a quiet day alone just us three and celebrate my birthday. It wasn't ideal beach weather, but it was a nice day all around.

Happy 33rd Birthday Daddy

On May 24th, I celebrated my first birthday with Christopher. It was a special day as was Lina's birthday with Christopher. Lina and I have been together 15 years (August 16) and 7 years married (June 19th). Having another person to finally share our life with, has been such a blessing. Watching this little life grow and form into a unique individual, has been an honor and we thank God for that.

Like Father, Like Son

Just the other day, I had Christopher on the bed, and he was climbing all over the place, but then he laid on his stomach, so I rolled up his shirt and started to scratch his back. Do you know that he did not move at all, he put his thumb in his mouth and stood there for atleast 5 minutes, in Heaven. I have to admit, and my family can attest to it, I would love when my grandmother would scratch my back, with my thumb in my mouth.

Lina feels I am going to spoil him, oh well, let the spoiling begin.

Check out the photo below.

Lina's First Mother's Day

On Sunday May 14, we celebrated Lina's first Mother's Day. It was a beautiful day blessed by God. Thank You Lord, for allowing Lina the opportunity to celebrate this day.

Small Surprise for Lina

On Saturday May 13, my mother was kind enough to allow me to have a little surprise party for Lina that included her friends and her sister. Lina was shocked, even though she told me I better not do anything for her, I think after 15 years, she should know me better than that, especially with her reaching the BIG 30.

Happy 30th Birthday Mommy

On Wednesday May 10, 2006, Christopher and I celebrated with Lina, her 30th birthday. We all spend the day together and took her out for dinner. Here are a few pictures of her special day.

Hanging Out in Enemy Territory

On Saturday, May 6, I traveled down to Philadelphia with Damien and we met up with our cousin Richie to watch a Phillies game. This was the first time Damien and I have ever been to any other baseball stadium other than the Mets and Yankees. I have to admit, it is an awesome stadium and no matter where you stand, you have a great view of the game. The main attraction was to see if Bonds would break the record, but unfortunately he didn't, but it was a great night either way.

"Hey, I'm Flying."

Christopher Turns 5 Months

These months are just flying by. As you can see he is getting so big. He wants to walk, and soon enough he will be sitting up on his own. But he is still our little baby, even though he thinks he is a big boy already.
