Well it has been about 6 weeks since our newest arrival into the Valentino family. He came in a small package and a bit early but is still a darling. His name is Joshua Mu En Chew. He weighed in at a whoppin'! 6 lbs 3 oz. he decided he did not want to wait any longer to see grandma and grandpa.
Well i took a trip to New York to visit him and he sure captured my heart.

Rebecca and Claude are over the moon in love with him and this photo is a good reason to be. They adore and love him and are the best parents any little guy could have.
Rebecca and i saw a lot of the New York sites
We had a great time and enjoyed each other
immensley.
Claude is working for Columbia University working in the lab with mice and cell growths. He seems to enjoy it a lot and i think it is his place to be. Rebecca is staying home with Joshua for now and loves being a mommy. I guess i taught her well!!!
School is literally around the corner for the girls . They start on Tuesday the 4th of September and are thrilled. They love school and the challenges it gives them. Hope will be at the Kalispell Middle School ( 6th grade) and Grayce will be at Russell the school they both went to last year. She is a big 1st grader now. WOW!!!!! All day ...What will i do with myself. The first time in 25 years of raising kids and no kids or job to tend to at home.
Paco(Johnny) is living at home with us AGAIN.....We are hoping he will be working again soon. And be on his own again. James is still in Prison he was given a release date of September 23rd but the good ol' system ...it was not to be. They decided to keep him longer. So it is not to be yet. He is doing well though and accepted this dissappointment very well and very grown up. I was very proud of him for that. He is showing periods of maturing. We look forward to seeing him soon and bringing Aroura to meet him for the first time. It will be very emotional i am sure. Well. We all hope this finds you happy and enjoying life. Fall is my favorite time of year and am looking forward to it.
Until then.
Bless you all.
John, Tami,
Rebecca & Claude,Johnny (Paco), James, Hope and Anna Grayce
And our wonderful, beautiful grand kids...Aroura and Joshua
Whew what a family!!!!!
