HOUSTON!!!

I was lucky enough to go to sweltering hot Texas again this summer, but this time I was in Houston. Not as cool as Puerto Rico, but it's the best I can do. Here are a few of those pics for ya. After this I promise I will stop posting so many pictures and let the rest of the family share their exciting times with the rest of the family. I miss everyone and I hope you are ALL doing well...

PROM and Graduation

This year was special to me because when I student taught at Gage Park, the kids I had as freshmen were seniors all year. So it was a little emotional. I took a few pics...

We never thought Leon was going to graduate. BUT HE DID!!!
