Uncle Jeffrey November 5, 2015 in Elkhart Indiana, with Rob O'Neill from Seal Team 6 who shot Osama bin Laden


Your mother posted this on November 10th on Facebook:


Me: Drew, what are you wearing? It doesn't even remotely go together.
Drew: Well, what do you expect... You got me digging like a hobo in a dumpster
Me:  What are you talking about??!!
Drew:  In the dryer
Me:  Yes Drew, your CLEAN clothes in the dryer are just like digging in the dumpster!!


November 19th was your band concert.  Went to your house earlier and took these photos.






You and Mia.  She is also in the band.



At the concert.









So cute!!!



Here's a couple of videos you mother took.





You are playing your Grandfather's trumpet.  So sweet.




When I got home this is what I found.  Mr. Bob fell in the pool putting the cover on and hit his head and scraped his arm.  He could have drowned.  I told him to wait for me, but no he had to try to do it himself.  This is the result. 

You and your brother were going to come over to swim with Jaiden, Alysa, Courtney and Wesley, but you got sick.  Your father sent this to me with the title "Sorry Nana"


See ya on Thanksgiving.

The day before Thanksgiving your mother posted this on Facebook:





Thanks giving Day.  Your4 mother posted this on Facebook:

When you guys arrived for Thanksgiving dinner, your mother told the story about when Zachary was  5 years old she bought him and you a Christmas book and it had a recording device in it.  The book asked you what you would name your reindeer and yZachary said "Mr. Sockneger ( or something like that).  You were also was asked to name your  reindeer and you  said Michael Jordan.

Well you guys found the book and listened to it last week.  Your mother asked  Zachary who is Mr. Sockneger?  You  answered "That's Mr. Bob".  You mother thought it was funny and it never occurred to her that Zachary meant Mr. Bob Schoenbachler 7 years ago. 

I then took you guys for a ride in Mr. Bob's new Porsche.  Both of you loved it and I went really fast and you were pushed back into your seats.

After dinner, we had a golfing contest.  Adults:  Guys against the girls.  I had a total score of 23 and uncle Bruce had a 26.  (On the front 5 I shot a 9.  (I had two hole in one.)Then the kids played.  Alyssa did not want to play so Courtney one by default.  Zachary finished in first place with a total of 25 and won $5.00.


 Bob's two daughters and their families left on Friday.  Saturday, Mr. Bob and I met your father at the Metro Parking to get you and your brother for a sleep over.  We went for lunch at BJ's.



We went to church and then out for brunch at The Local Bistro.

You didn't want to go to the movies, so we watched a movie at home. Uncle Bruce came over to put up our Christmas tree.  You and your brother later watched The Walking Dead and played on the Wii.


 You had waffles with root beer in the batter and fresh fruit and a scoop of Gilato.  We sat out on the patio.

Some time during your visit you told me that Mia dumped you.  I told you that will happen a few times in your life.  So just move on.






While riding in the car Mr. Bob was playing a CD and he asked if you or your brother knew what style of singing they were singing.  You knew the answer.  Al Capella.  Mr. Bob and I were shocked that you knew that.



Your aunts and uncles, plus your grandfather will be arriving next Thursday, December 10th.  In essence, the whole  Tantillo clan except for Matthew.
