I am amazed with the vast amount of resources available online for those maintaining their own site. Nowadays, you don’t have to be an internet whiz to be your own webmaster. There are a lot of tools out there in the web, from counters to site stats to opinion polls. Most of the time, all you have to do is add a little code to your side and everything else is handled by the tool provider. Easy-Poll, a site that offers free questionnaires and polls for example, handles and calculates everything on their own servers. Hmmm, you just might see one here on my blog next time.

I was planning on staying in the whole weekend and lounging around with my wife and little boy. This plan will now only apply on Sunday. Hehe! Andrea’s family will be having a lunch gathering tomorrow in her grandpa’s place. We were begging off but her cousins and aunts wanted to see how big Mateo is. It has been months since they last saw Mateo and they weren’t able to go on his birthday. I just hope our little rascal will be real trooper tomorrow.

Although Andrea and I do not religiously celebrate Valentine’s day, we still try to give each other a little something every year. Most of the time, it would be a card and/or chocolates. Since we both love chocolates, this is usually a safe choice. For this year, maybe I can give her an organic valentine chocolate heart. The chocolate heart is hollow but inside is an assortment of luscious chocolate truffles, Andrea’s favorite. I’m sure we’ll both enjoy devouring this wonderful treat. The chocolate is available in milk chocolate or dark vegan chocolate so even those vegan chocoholics will love it!

Mateo received a small wading pool from some of our co-workers on his birthday. Andrea decided to let him try it earlier today. Unfortunately, I was in school to watch him enjoy the water. According to Andrea, although he preferred to stand while inside the pool he enjoyed splashing around. I hope he grows up to be a water-lover. Andrea and I are not good swimmers and one of our plans for Mateo is to enroll him in swimming lessons in the future so that he grows up to be a better swimmer than us
