Xmas 2007 and computer shut down

Dear Family,
Thanks for the great Xmas! I'm so happy everyone was able to make it to the Hat before we take off down south. I'm gonna post a few pics for ya. Also, I was just gonna let everyone know that as of January 4th, I have no phone. Mom, I'll send you my itinerary for that day. The number at the apartment is (281) 890-3207 (and I'm not sure if there is voicemail or not). And as of Monday December 31 (probably), my computer will be disconnected. So, if you need me, call me.
Love
Connie and Gavin

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas... all the way from the Dominican. Rained all night but as soon as Linc and I got out of bed the sun came out. Looks like beach walk is in order! I must say it is tough to realize it is actually Christmas here. There aren't really any decorations and... of course... no snow and cold. Its weird. But... I guess thats why I'll be heading home Boxing day - get back to reality.

Flight leaves at 8ish. I'll call you guys in the morning. I'll try to be home by 10ish, but depends on how tired we are from traveling.


Linc with a Dominican Santa:
My Christmas gift to the world, cooking on MEDIUM:





Bye, Merry Xmas!

Tooo Funny!!

Love the Merry Christmas sign and now I'm totally jealous.

The motorcycle is the funniest. I don't think Lincoln would fare well with the American Chopper outfit. Frustration would be a good name for the look on his face. Hope he enjoyed the ride, oops I mean the walk or cab ride.

Merry Xmas-OOOOOO!!!

Ok, so I think all spanish words are french with an O added at the end! Soooo.... Merry... Xmas-O!

First Day on the beach. Took an walk to the strip. 'bout 30 min walk. Good on the feet, hard on the sun beaten body.



In the pool-io at Vicinos. Thats Linc's mom and dad place. It means "neighbours".



1st Excursion:
Linc: "Is there anything we need to know about the motorcyle?".
Lester: "NO"
Half hour later "KA-BAng!!"... 1 KM Push... Lincoln cab ride home... Lori... dollar 50 cervasa at charlies... putt putt ride back with Lester ===== 1 finger tight spark plug that blows our motocylete (and Lester failed to notify us about)
Proof:


Dominican McDonalds... AGAIN... Known as Carlies Burger Food Fast. Thats right... FOOD Fast!


This is a really nice picturo. I'm not gonna lie to you. This is the restaurant at Vicinos... aka... "Casa Lehmon"... aka... Lincs parents home... O! hahahha.




We have gotten a "man-sauge" everyday... and tomorrow we have a "man-suess" coming to the house to give us pool side "man-sauges"... whilest we listen to christmas musico!
Good timeso... mucho...loveo... US!

Early Merry Christmas!!

Your finally leaving and the sun is just a waiting for you two. Have yourself a great trip and think of all of us poor souls freezing in Canada. Enjoy the sand! Merry Christmas! All our love, Mom and Dad.

PS. We'll miss you.

Christmas Time

Whohoo! It is getting close to Xmas. Well our tree is still naked but setup. Maybe I should do something with that today!

Just wanted to let you all know that Baby Addy is super excited to show everyone how BIG she's grown! Make sure to bring your cameras. We won't be posting any more pics of the baby girld on the blog til we get a new camera. Ours has officially bit the dust. Takes fuzzy pics and the lens won't retract into the camera. I guess it decided that it has served its time!

See ya'll soon. Hope the weather is nice in the Dominican!
Later,
K.

Adios family...

Just some last minute packing and one more sleep... then we're off. I'm excited to be in +30 weather! Forecast for our first day is 29 with cloudy periods... Don't see any rain yet in our future! Sweet! Anyway, I'll keep posting if the internet is not too painful down there.

Bye Bye.
Love you. Merry Christmas!

S-O-L-D!!!!

Well, its official.....conditions have been lifted and the SOLD sign went up!!! Yah.....only 3 SHORT weeks until moving day!!! Possession is January 4, 2008. Can you say, BUSY!??!!?

Anyways, I just got back from Houston and thought I would share some pics of Gavins Christmas Party, the after Christmas Party Party, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Houston Texas game we caught on Sunday.

Enjoy!!

Active Release

Ok Lori, I meant to comment on this and forgot. Yes, I've heard of active release. Dr. Hall in MH specializes in it. It is a much better alternative than drugs and surgery. This wouldn't work for Dad now because of all the damage already done. I have also heard it works providing you work with it. Usually your given exercises to work along with the therapy. Glad your back is better. I'm guessing your therapist has also advised you much of your pain could be coming from your flatfeet. Better get some new orthotics. Apparently after one year, it is wise to reinvest.

Back news!

Mom/Dad... you never said anything about the Active Release Therapy stuff I posted. Did you check it out? I'll have you know... I've gone for 2 treatments and my back is feeling alot better! I can actually sit at my desk without it hurting now. It had gotten to the point where it was hurting all the time, especially when sitting.

PS... Only 8 more days til Dominican. Gotta go shopping for a new bathing suit, considering I lost 10 pounds!! Funny what happens when you stop eating McDonalds! Sorry Dad... Its true!

Box Liner

Billy... check this out!!! I'm pretty sure this is the box liner I got in my Silverado. I'm gonna get it in my tacoma. 530 bucks! Steal of a deal!

PS... Got me some chrome rocker panels ordered. Installing this week!!!

Merry Christmans everyone!!

This is what happens when you are at home on maternity leave. ENJOY! I thought it was hilarious.
Love, Kim, Bill, Addy

Lips or a case of mistaken identity?

Well, little Addy is keeping us busy. Mommy needs to find time to do her shopping for Xmas yet!!
We thought we share our little video of Daddy cuddle time...which apparently Baby Addy was hungry during her movie shoot!
Love, Dadddy, Mommy and Baby Addy

Constar...

Is it weird to be celebrating xmas when its warm out?? Don't you feel like it should be cold and snowy? Just wondering.... for when I'm in the DOMINICAN!!! hahhahhaaa!!!!!

H town

Well, as you all know, I'm in Houston right now.....the weather is beautiful. I walk to the gym in the morning in just a tank!! Whoop whoop!! Tomorrow is the Xmas party and we rented a limo....I guess it seats 28 people....its HUMONGEOUS!!! Should be a good time. We rented a room at the hotel that the party is at, so should be a late night!!! But fun times!!! Then on Sunday you better be watching the Buc's at the Texans, cuz I'll be at the game!!! Then Monday, I'm back on the plane to freezing cold land.......Calgary.

Does anyone know what today is???

Just in case you forgot it's Addyson's 2 month birthday. Sorry we couldn't be there baby, but maybe Mom could feed you and put you on the bus and we could pick you up in Medicine Hat. Just joking but we really really enjoyed the video clip the other day. You could post another anytime. Thanks for keeping us up-to-date.

ART site

This looks like a good one to read...
http://drkottoor.com/art.html

Dad... check this out

Not sure if you're still having back/shoulder pain but... thought you might want to take a look at this. Its called Active Release Techniques. I'm starting it for some back pain I've had for a couple months now. Not sure if its working yet, need a few more treatments but some people at work swear by this stuff.

Anyway...

Here is a description from the Website
(http://www.activerelease.ca/2_ARTOverview.html):

ART is a patented, state-of-the-art, soft tissue management system that treats problems that occur with:

• Muscles.
• Tendons.
• Ligaments.
• Fascia.
• Nerves.

Headaches, back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, shoulder pain, sciatica, Plantar Fasciitis, knee problems, and tennis elbow are just a few of the many conditions that can be resolved quickly and permanently with ART.

You should get mom to look it up on the internet and see if maybe this will help with your back/shoulder issues.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.
Bye Bye.

This just in, well... not really, but MY xmas list hasn't changed since I was about 4yrs old. Since you guys haven't known me that long, I'll let you know what it is... its short and sweet. I would like a black lamborghini (Kimmer and I have the taste in color) and a mansion. Nothing extravagant... but a minimum of 3 full bath.
Let me know if Omer needs help!
...Link'n

ps - The Nut just wants a treat!

Christmas

Well, since you're all wondering what to buy me for Xmas, I thought I'd post it to the website. Here are some ideas: leather gloves (black and my hands are bigger than Lori's), fleece mitties (black), cookies sheets (2 of same size), plastic top TV tray from Walmart in the furniture section which would be great for camping. And, I am in desperate need of some updated and nice clothes (not so much the athletic stuff and not super dressy...just in between). I'll get back with Daddy and Addy wish lists.
