Race week

Well, ya'll missed it this year but I see you next year, right!

How to get back at it?

As you all know my inspiration has been missing for a long time. I so miss writing at times but it has been hard to come up with something to write about.

The other day I was checking our email ( Marta's) to get up to snuff with Sofia's soccer snack schedule. I'm now up to speed and I also found this. Fia is jersey #3 with Barca socks and shorts.

I'll try and be more updated but until then, read A's blog, it is awesome.

Arghhhhh

Long time no seen. I ran out of steam, out of stuff to tell you.

I'm growing old in a rapid speed. I hate it, hate it, hate it.

I have the best family any one can ask for. I found this while googling.
.What is wrong with me?

This fall sucks

Not a pleasant fall around here, the weather is great just as a fall is in South Carolina, but the rest has sucked horse manor.

That is now behind but never forgotten. So I've promised my wife to get back in blog shape and I'll do my best.

The kids are doing great, Marta is just slightly nuttier than usual, Milu is as sweet as ever and I'm still the big jack ass around here.

Sounds like the blog might have some potential.

Did I mention that we are discussing to get a puppy? I almost have Marta convinced that it would be a great idea. A rescue of course and yes, German Shepard is on the list.

Hi

A lot going on right know, not a heck of a whole lot to my liking but if you're there please stick around.

9 years old

Hipp Hipp Hurray! Our little Milu is now 9 years old.













She likes to thank everyone for her birthday wishes. Her rear hips are a little better, she takes glycosamine twice daily and she hoovers down the Eukanuuba organic dry food for senior adult large breed dogs like never seen before.

She still loves a good night story read to her accompanied by her younger siblings, Alex and Fia. After that it's their bedtime which she best supervise by jumping into bed with each one of them until they are asleep. After that she does her bedtime routine outside and despite her hip issues crawl under moms side of the bed.

She is also very pleased that this year dad bought a car to her liking, there is nothing better than to sit up front in the passenger seat with a window rolled down, she sure missed my old pickup truck.

As always she is a blessing and we are so fortunate that she is a part of our family. Happy Birthday Milu, we love you!

Golf and gators

All four of us went out to hit the greatest round ever known to man by a foursome playing golf. We were right on track until we had to yield for this fellow.













He/she jinxed us and we stumbled across the whole family after that.














Alex has one piece of advice to give you, if you play #4 at Charleston national favor the right side of the fairway, left might be unplayable at times.













But that didn't put a damper on the great shots we made. The ball landed in the sand trap, so what? All it is to switch out the club and make yet another awesome shot. Piece of cake.













Sundays are family days, little did I know that I was to spend them on a golf course together with a few gators. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Please lights out

In our family it turns out that I'm the only person that knows how a light switch work and I've tried to spread the knowledge around by gathering the whole family around me in hands on lectures. What a waste of time. Either they are slow learners or I'm a lousy teacher. They all seem to think that the switch only work one way and that's to the on position. To threat with them having to pay the electric bill doesn't even make them flinch. If I have to come home to an empty house one more day and the lights are left on.....

Wait a minute.................my god, I've become my dad.

Fall

This morning when I let Milu out I started shivering, it was really chilly outside a mere 55 degrees (12 Celsius). I had to rush back inside and dig up a sweater, last time I wore one was in early April.

Fall is here with oyster roasts, bon fires and not to forget Halloween. Tonight will likely consist of to cut my grass and plan this years Halloween decoration, we have added a few new ones but the 8 foot skull is still the ornament anchor.

He's got game

I don't know if you know much about golf but Alex, our 5 year old sure has got the hang of it. First tee up.














Second, look down the fairway and line your self up.













Focus on the ball.













Swing all the way back, remember your left arm is guiding keep it straight and shoulders parallel, bend wrists for maximum power.













And then simply swing through and watch your ball fly down the fair way. Easy peasy lemon squeeze.
