We have been slow to update and that is mostly because we’ve traveled back to Bryan a LOT. After, getting the apartment, packing, and moving, we also traveled for these reasons: 30 May – a wedding 13 June – a wedding 20 June – to have the carpets cleaned 22 June – to get something [...]
This may have been my favorite Easter ever. It was certainly the nicest one I’d ever had at the Annual Luza Family Easter Camping Trip. The weather was perfect. The days were only a little cool, requiring long sleeves, while the nights required only a sheet and light blanket. For reference: We have camped at [...]

Thanks to Twitter, we now know that we are—once again—Great Uncle Emil and Great Aunt Lori. Baby Caroline arrived today at 6:41pm weighing in at 7 lbs 5 oz! Congratulations Sean & Audrey and Alex!

It was a lovely day of food, good conversation, football, chasing the sweetest great-nieces and great-nephews you’ve ever known, and genuine care, concern, and love for one another. THIS is what the holidays—all of them—are about. We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. [...]
Maegan’s husband, Larame, just returned from the war. His photo was in their local paper, the Pensacola News Journal. What a GREAT shot of the two of them!
