March McAllen Visit

March 20, 2016 by Salvador Velazquez in Family, Texas

Back in March, Annika and I took a trip to McAllen, Texas to visit the family and to enjoy probably our last trip where Annika can fly on our laps for "almost" free.

I just started my new job at SURGE -- thankfully I have been busy hence the delay in my posts -- so unfortunately my days were spent working. Annika spent time without "Abu", Abuelo, her Tio's and cousins during the day and our evenings were spent enjoying the South Texas breeze while the grown ups smoked cigars and played dominos -- yet another victory against the parental units. Over the weekend the Perez family came over for some bbq and family fun. Looking forward to our next trip!

Many thanks to Marco and Graciela for allowing us to stay at their place, La Isla, at South Padre Island. We got to enjoy the beach and spend time with the family even though the remnants of Patricia brought some heavy rain.

On Wednesday June 4th, we said goodbye to San Antonio and our great temporary home. During our 2 month stay we got to catch up with family and friends and had a chance to make new friends. And San Antonio is where Annika was born so it will always have a place in our hearts. We are now staying at Vince and Michelle's beautiful new home in Austin enjoying more family time. The weather has been "warm" and humid, typical for this time of year, which has limited our time outside but we still plan to take Annika around town.

Below are some pics of Annika with the Alvarez family and Rapp family.

FYI - I have been posting daily pics on my Tumblr account (http://salvelazquez.tumblr.com). Enjoy!

Velazquez Reunion 2012 - 2013

December 31, 2012 by sal in Family, Photography, RGV

This past Christmas I was lucky enough to spend time with family that I haven't seen for quite some time. My brother Andresito who is currently living in Puerto Rico, my nephew Luisito currently studying medicine in the D.R., and my cousin Luis Felipe and Uncle Luis from Miami all flew down for the holidays. It was great to see everyone and one could only hope that many more reunions like this continue especially with our upcoming move to Quito, Ecuador. To view the entire album click here.
