Sunday night at Casa Antica, In Lewiston NY to celebrate my 71st BD.  On the left is me, Uncle Jeffrey, Danielle, Marcus and Mr. Bob.  On the right is Uncle Bruce, Aunt Angela, Uncle Rico, Aunt Kim (my brother's wife) and my brother, Uncle Ted.






On Saturday, October 24th your father brought you and your brother over to see me and Mr. Bob.

I showed you the bed we just got for my office. The cabinet opens up and turns into a queen bed.  You and your brother loved it.  Folding it back up you two got behind the mattress.
 

 
I made you and your brother rolls and pasta with butter for you.
 

 
 
 
The three of us played Wii in my bedroom and we were talking about you wanting to come over to spend the night.  You wanted to come on Friday the 30th, but I had already committed to helping some of the women from church at Save The Family shelter in Phoenix.  I explained that we were holding a fall themed event for children living there.  These children have virtually nothing where as you and your brother have almost everything.  It is so important that you learn to give back.  Zachary  said he wanted to go to help.  Then you said you wanted to go too.  I had to call the person in charge to get approval.  She said yes!  Your father said no.  Andrew said that your mother makes the decisions so I emailed here the information about Save the Family and she responded by saying
 "I think that's awesome!   Thank you for taking them.".  So, I am meeting you guys at the Tempe Mall so I can pick you two up and go to the shelter on Friday.

We arrived at Save The Family and Tami, the Director, had you put water in the fridge.  Please remember "IT'S ALL ABOUT GIVING BACK!!!"






  
 I took a couple of photos of the compound to show your father.  It is really a nice place.
 
 
 
 




You and your brother helping to blow up balloons with Hanna.  Below you two looking at the small horses that were brought in.







After the adult volunteers served dinner for the families and cleaned up, we left.  You did not like the food that was being served so I had to take you out to dinner.  It was a Friday night and BJ's was packed.  I thought there was a Chick File' near my house, but it was a Jack in the Box, so we went to Rosati's for chicken wings and pizza.  Then home.

Here you guys are all tucked in your bed.



Here you are in the morning.





You did great sleeping in my office all night.  I mentioned that a Denny's had just opened on Scottsdale Road and Mayo Blvd. and you wanted to go there for breakfast.  I asked Mr. Bob if he wanted to join us and he said yes.  You and your brother ordered a Christmas shake.  Total calories were something like 1500.  I try to eat only about 1200 calories for a full day.  You two left with Mr. Bob and I stayed to wait in line to pay the bill since I had a 20% discount coupon on my phone.  We got into the truck and I noticed that Mr. Bob was in the wrong lane and asked him where we were going.  He said to the Promenade and I asked why.  You two in the back said we were going to Cracker Jax's to play miniature golf.
