Some of the Joys in My Life


What can I say, they love grandpa so much they just fall asleep on him. This image was captured during this years Super Bowl party at my Juan and Jen's. One day she'll see this picture and will just laugh.



And of course my son has to follow into my footsteps and do something similar with his new little baby a.k.a. in my world as "Little Joe". But I know for a fact my son can be a very comfortable pillow. The baby's job is to just relax and sleep. I should digress.


And once again, here she is, the newest princess of them all. For some they say she totally looks like Sylvia, both my mom and my father in law said it when they saw her. To me she looks like the mama but prettier. lol Let me explain, some 25 years ago I was in a waiting room at a hospital in El Monte California when a nurse came in. It must have been around 2:00 a.m. and I was the only person in that particular waiting room.

Nurse: Mr Melo?
Me: Yes!
Nurse: Would you like to meet your daughter?
Me: *thinking* ummm so I have a little girl. -- Sure I would love to meet her.
Nurse: Pushes the little see through tingy and...

All I see is this tiny little baby with lots and lots of hair, she was purple, pealing, and wrinkled.

Me: Nurse, are you sure this is my baby.
Nurse: Of course she is.
Me: She's ugly. lol

Very next day, she had changed so much and I knew then that there was potential. As you can see in the next image, I was not wrong... about the potential that is, because my Michelle is very pretty. I think Atalie will be prettier, but that's just the grandpa in me talking.




Now here is the baby of the family, as you all know her baby is due in early June and with hers I will have 10 grand kids. What a joy for a grandpa, but what a pain in the butt for them, they have many years of crying kids to deal with. Me, I'll just spoil the heck out of them and then I'll send them back. That is my job as described in the family rule handbook.

Happy Birthday Juanito

My son and I have been blessed with a mutual respect for each other, I like him and he actually likes me, I love him and he loves me back. It's like we were meant for each other. I enjoy seeing him and like spending time together with him. This we haven't done as of late but at least we had a terrific day at the races two weeks ago. Yeap we are buddies, we are friends, but above all, we are father and son or son and father.

And yet we are so different and love to tease each other about it. Let me give you some examples:

He loves sports.
I hate sports.

He loves pizza
But for me it's tacos.

He'll watch the Super Bowl.
I'll watch the commercials.

He loves his teams.
I'm all for the cheer leaders.

He roots for the Raiders
Me, the Cardinals

He, The Bulls
Me, The Suns

He's a Chevy guy
I love Fords

Do you get the idea? We never seem to agree on anything, but you know what, that's absolutely fine with me. I love it that he developed his own mind, and did the things he wanted to do, I love to hear about his successes and will listen about his failures too. But above all I love that he knows he can count on me through think and thin and that we are and will be always here for him.

On Thursday my son reached a milestone as he turned 30 years old. I guess his two younger sisters got the best of it all as they both had their "Quinceaneara" party celebrations and he got zip, cero, nada. So today, the girls in his life headed by his mom and his wife along with his two sisters did their best to surprise him with his very own "Treintanero" party. He is getting his quinceanera party times two. lol

To know my son is to love him. He has the wackiest sence of humor. No one can go more that two minutes without laughing while around him, and his two sisters love him to death too. I trully am lucky and blessed to have him as a son and I know that this feeling I have is shared by many.

So, all of you out there in blogland if you so feel inclined to join me in singing a Happy Birthday song to him please be my guest and take the lead... What, you want me to lead? OK on three -- One, Two, Three:

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear mijo (Juan to the rest of you)
Happy birthday to you
and many more...
