Cheers to 3 months of this:

The oldest and youngest members of this household have become fast friends. They are, without a doubt, able to bring the best out of each other. It is a real treat to watch.

So, we are grateful and touched to see that our 93 year-old grandfather--one who, in order to entertain himself, I think, regularly fabricates answers to mundane questions, sneaks around the house and spies on the rest of us from corners, hallways and doorways, makes all of his morning and afternoon whereabouts a mystery even though our neighbors always tell us where he has been seen, who is constantly on the look-out for an unrealistically cheap haircut, and who has been known to spoil his appetite for lunch by eating a very late breakfast followed by a glass of white wine and tapas around town-- has the priceless gift of Peter Pan-like magic with our 3 month-old boy.

Oh my word...can he get any cuter?!?
Cheers to the years between the two of you who brought forth this little angel. What a gift to Roberto...and everyone else.
Love, abuela

kindred spirits, regardless of age. Isn't it crazy that these two Canga men were born in different centuries?! Yet all that melts away in Mateo's smile as he watches Roberto. Wonderful. Thank you, also, for the choice tidbits you included about idiosyncratic 93-year old behavior, I mean, shoot if I had lived that long I would go out and spoil my lunch too!

I meant to say different millennium -- that would have been much more drastic.

For the rest of time, whenver I have an "off day" I will just refer to this photo. Please give Mateo a smooch from Tia Anna!
(PS - I thought I left this comment a few days ago, so if it appears elsewhere, my apologies. I hope Mateo's generations does better than MY generation with technicalities of computers!)
