Merry Christmas to everyone!!! I'm still waiting for snow to show up here in Michigan.

Merry Christmas (Eve)!

Wheres the snow?
 

Chrsitmas (Eve)! why yes it is, imagine that, and yes that is Christmas too.

No snow? Yea me to. It has flurried a few times in the past week, but from all reports this is unusually odd weather not to have had snow by this time of year here in Prague. Its like Mother Nature is confused and cannot figure out what to do anymore. It is in the 20f range one night, and the next it will be near 50f. Our van has only been frozen over about three times so far this year.

The kids got up early this morning wanting to know when they could open their first present. Man times have changed. We got excited when we were kids to, but we never asked our parents about opening presents before Christmas. We just did what we were told, and were actually grateful for watever we received. I saw some news yesterday about all te fighting going on over the re-release of Nike's Air Jordans, as well as all of the little kids asking for I-Pads as if they were meant to be kids toys. I see 6 & 7 year olds carrying I-Pads around while they ar talking to their friends on I-Phones. Its really gotten crazy.

Merry Christmas everyone! We drove the kids around to see some of the lights and just put them to bed. The missus and I haevn't bought anything for ourselves (or each other) but I can't wait for the kids to open theirs... play time!:lol:

Merry Christmas gents. I hope all have a great holiday

Neither did we
 

Yea we have had to purchase so much throughout the year that we decided not to buy anything for ourselves for Christmas this year. I had already gotten the wife a 64gig I-Pad that she has been using for two months so she is good to go. The boys each received a Mac-book Pro because they had to have them in order to attend the international school (at over $1600 each). Luckily their tuition is covered by the US Department of State at nearly $20K each. So we stuck mostly with clothes this year for gifts. But the boys are getting I-contolled helicopters. They can use either their Mac-books, their I-touch's, or an I-phone which neither of them have yet. Just being together as a family in Prague will have to do for this year. We are taking them to London in Feb for a week.

Merry Christmas, and happy holidays if you don't celebrate Christmas.

Huge news: I've been separated from my youngest son for 8 years. He is 10 and I last saw him when he was 2. He was only 2 months old at the time of my accident. The accident separated his mother and I, she got into drugs, her parents got custody, yada yada yada.

Flash forward to now and Isaiah (the son I'm referring to) is back living with his mom. I've been writing to Isaiah and sending him gifts. Last night my parents got to meet him!:party: They went and dropped off the gifts they had for him. As soon as I am off bed rest, I will meet him and be reunited with my boy!!!!!

I get my oldest (Caleb, 15) for 4 days. Sun-Thurs. I am stoked for his visit:yes:

I get the best present I can think of- my boys!:intello:

That's great news Harold.


I spent 10 days over Thanksgiving sitting in a hospital room keeping my wife company while she had numerous heart tests and finally had a defibrillator implanted. She is doing well and is currently making a cherry pie for tomorrow. So we are really happy to have the Christmas holiday to celebrate with our family - Daniel (age 7) is getting a new bike (I assembled it last night and it is currently hidden on our bathtub). Anna (age 5) is getting an American girl doll.


Merry Christmas to all! :yes:

Bah Humbug.

Typical Neil!:lol: Merry Christmas man. RCM wouldn't be the same without you. I'm grateful Mike keeps this place going:yes:

INSPiRATION
 

Harold you are an inspiration for the rest of us. Just knowing what you have to deal with on an every day basis is humbling to say the least. I feel for you Bro. Looking at life from my perspective compared to your situation I have absolutely nothing at all to complain about in my life. I have had some tough times to get through, but looking back they are nothing. Harold you are a good man. I hope your sons can grow up with you close to their hearts. We wish you happiness and hope for the future, along with lots of love.

Neil you need Jesus.

Merry Christmas to everyone here at RCM! Best wishes to all.

+1 :yipi:

Ditto! Raising my son who has SMA has made me appreciate just waking up breathing each day.

Merry Christmas fellas, it's 10.30am Christmas morning for us. Kids have opened all the presents, the Lego airport as almost complete & the DIY beauty kit only has a few projects left. Dogs are having kangaroo for breakfast. Santa got me the flu & I'm having trouble talking but doesn't stop the smiles

Panda should be waking up about now, if he's lucky enough to have a sleep in

The sun is finally shining for Sydney & there's some hope of a Summer after all. The start of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart yacht race tomorrow is another compulsory for our family before an afternoon nanna nap....then start the preparations for NYE on the harbour with friends from Sydney & Czechoslovakia

Bring on 2012 & hope everyone on RCM has a much better year than 2011!!

Xmas morning here too.
 

Just a quick note. Czechoslovakia is no longer a country. It was split into The Czech Republic and Slovakia in the early 90's.

Well its nearly 3AM here and we just got the kids off to bed for the night after going to midnight Catholic mass, and then returning home to have each of the kids open their first gift. It was a nice night, but the cathedral was freezing cold even with heated seating. The service was pretty cool as it was given by three priests in English, Czech, and Spanish with a little latain. Anyway they will open the rest of their gifts after breakfast. The kids are going to make pancakes for all of us before any presents get opened. More updates to come once we reach that point. Have a great day guys.

I've got man flu...leave me alone!

Merry Christmas everyone!
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe Xmas. Hopefully everyone is with their families.

I get my boy in an hour!:party:

Have fun harold
 

Have some fun Harold. Love makes th world worth living in.

That's more like it :party:

Merry Christmas to all here at rcm. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays and +1 on some face time with our families. Best gift of all.

Merry Christmas, fellow monsters - hope everyone was nice this year and got what they wanted!

I hope your time with your boy lived up to your expectations Harold!

Brian015, also happy for you too.

It's great hearing about peoples enjoyment of the basic things in life i.e. family.

Actually I got up just before 500am had a little breaky then went to go for a ride. Just before I left all 3 girls came wondering out of there bedrooms :rules: I still went for ride, been too busy the past 2 weeks to go:na:

I got a few giggles playing with my daughters 3DS. We went to the beach with my Dad and his fiance today (boxing day). It's been fun but I need to knuckle down and get some stuff done around the house (#1 priority being paperwork...uugh)
