Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

A few pics from Mexico: Los Arcos is where Luis went Diving and I went Snorkeling. Those are King Angel Fish that were swimming all around us. Luis and his brother Marcos on the boat we took along the coast. Luis and I having dinner at a local spot to catch the MLB playoffs of course!

DuKe

Here are some pictures of Duke. The bottom two are when he just 10 weeks old and almost ready to come home with us. He was one of 8. He was the craziest, most energetic puppy in the litter. For now, this is our only child......His favorite passtimes are wrestling with Luis, and stealing socks.

Kauai, Hawaii

The top two pics are from our Sunset Cruise around the Island of Kauai. The bottom three are from our Hike to a waterfall that we got to swim in. We had a blast.

Our Honeymoon in Kauai Hawaii

Abuelita

This is Luis' Grandma "Abuelita" She lives on a 15 acre ranch in San Marcos, Nicaragua. The ranch is filled with fruit trees like Mango, Papaya, Bananas, Coconut, Avocado, Mandarins, Sweet Lemons, Oranges, and Coffee. She makes her living by selling sections to street vendors to harvest. They will come and purchase an acre to harvest the fruit. They go and pick all the fruit and coffee within the acre and then they sell it on the streets.

Nicaragua

These are some pictures from one of our Nicaragua Trips. Luis is from Nicaragua and his family still resides there. We go once a year to visit. The first picture is the sunset from a beach on the Pacific side of Nicaragua. The second pic is Luis on the beach. The third is an 0ld Cathedral in Granada, Nicaragua. The fourth is Luis climbing a tree to get a Mango. The last is my favorite. That is the street that Luis grew up on. His mom still lives there and this guy on the wagon is "The Cheese Man" He has been passing by every morning since Luis was a little boy. We always stop and talk to him when we are there. He sells homemade Queso Seco to the neighborhood.

John Rocci's First Little League Game

This is "Monkey". He is our Nephew. His name really isn't Monkey we just call him that. His name is John Rocci De Carlo. This was his first Little League Baseball Game.

Our Wedding Day 11/4/06

Our ceremony at St. Joseph's Cathedral. We were supposed to be praying right here and Luis was talking to me as if we were at a baseball game!
