Some came weekly and others came every other week. Having these appointments in our home has been a little bit of a juggle, ...

Happy Birthday to Our Tatay.

Today is Alex's Birthday. He is off tonight and tomorrow night and we look forward to spending this time together as a family. He has been an amazing father to his triplets and step-father to Jordan and we are lucky to have a good hardworking man in our lives. I hope the triplets have his dedication in life to always work hard to achieve and make their dreams come true just as he has done so well in his life. Susannah playing Happy Birthday for her Tatay. Happy Birthday!!!
