Yeah, We Have Arrived in Morocco...:)


It is completely surreal. I leave to the United States as a student and I come back with a beautiful wife for the 3rd time visiting and a little angel for the first time...:) Big smile on my face...:)

Day 1 was a bit overcast but in the background, you can see my favorite surf spot in Morocco. My brother went surfing while I took pictures. I had to stay with my two babies..:)




The next day was so beautiful. The resort where my dad lives is called Marina Blanca. It is 15 minutes outside the city of Casablanca. I used to come here a lot when I was young since I surfed so much and to get away from the busy city of Casablanca. The resort where my dad lives is amazing. Pretty much anything you need and it's a little paradise. The air is also so pure without humidity.

Sanaa decided during the morning of the wedding to spend it with Aiden. She was very calm and in complete control ( the calm before the storm). She also took calls all morning since she had to answer questions from 60 Spanish people (Antonio's family) who flew one plane the day before the wedding to Morocco. They stayed at the Hyatt hotel and had 3 chauffeurs take them pretty much anywhere they wanted. I think she had 3 programs for them that day and one of them was a complete Moroccan body massage and spa.


My awesome brother..:) Always very friendly and never complains.




Reunited....:)


Such a pretty resort.

I can't believe it. 10 Months old and already under the African sun...:)



Aiden first time in the swing was pure joy. He was nervous in the beginning and then he let loose.

On the way to Morocco in Northwest Africa....:)

Hello all,

My cute little sister was going to get married in Morocco. After days of debating if I should go by myself or with Aiden and Melissa, we decided to stay as a family and experience first time overseas travel with our 10 months buddy Aiden. We flew from Miami to Madrid and the flight was awesome with AA. The service was amazing. We arrived in the super cool airport of Madrid and Aiden did really well.



My sister lives in Madrid so we spent the night in Madrid in order to relax and tackle the trip to Morocco the next day which was only 1 hour and 40 minutes. I forgot to take pictures of Sanaa'shouse inside but her house looks amazing. She is always setting a very high standard since she was a little kid...:) According to my dad, she is the first one in the family who bought signature clothes when she was young..lol Apparently, a couple of famous top models live in her community...:)




Melisssa and I were completely blown away by the beauty of Spain. It is a country rich with traditions, very old heritage and unique architecture.


Aiden quickly made some friends in my sister's neighborhood...:)











After a relaxing day, we are on our way from Madrid to Casablanca, Morocco...:)

Halloween Fun!

Fun at the pumpkin patch!

Aiden's perfect pumpkin! Thanks for the help Daddy!
The one and only time I got him in his Halloween costume!

Thanks for the Halloween pajamas Grandma!
Thank you to Baby Chad and Molly for this adorable onesie!

We have had a very busy few weeks! Aiden loved Halloween...all but wearing his costume. Trick-or-treating will have to wait for next year. :) He did love handing out candy and going to the pumpkin patch. Other developments are standing, cruising around on the furniture, saying "Dada" and an occasional "Mama", 2 teeth, crawling up the stairs and so much more. Our baby is ten months and amazing us everyday! It is hard to believe we are close to a year!! It has gone so fast!

In other big family news, we just got back from Spain and Morocco! Amine's sister got married. Aiden totally surpassed our expectations and did incredible! We had an amazing time and just got back home last night. Stay tuned for pictures and stories!
