Surprise!

Image
How many Garcias and Hansons does it take to surprise Pablo and Angie? Apparently, 23 of us!  Last weekend we celebrated my folks' 58th wedding anniversary with a surprise party in San Antonio. It was months in the making - probably 8 or 9 months ago we started to plan it. All went pretty well until about two weeks out when talk of a dental surgery surfaced. Texts flew back and forth and before we knew it, we had a new script with a new plan. Thanks to Maxwell and "Uncle Carl", we landed the surprise perfectly! The time spent together is never long enough, but having us all under one roof for one full day for a happy occasion was such a gift. Family really is everything.  Happy 58 years, mom and dad. I hope this was one for the books! The first 12 hours was a crash course  in Texas culture, Mexican food and tortillas for Jordi  Engaged and 58 years strong!  We love you, mom and dad!

Piggie

We had to put our little Marlo down last week. His given name was Marlo, but he was Piggie to us. He was a little guy with a big personality. He was Viv's biggest birthday surprise ever and Wicket's best little buddy, especially when they were living their best lives together at Camp Pinchot during the pandemic.  We sure do miss him.  Saying goodbye... 06/23
