Hey Friend! 😁
Of course you don't have much storage room left. The love and joy of a fulfilling family life takes up all the space.😊
Yes it does! 😊
Hi, i loved this video, Gill did a great job....they are going to have so much fun!❤😊
I think so too!
Wonderful! Happy early father's day Gil! Keep up the great work
Thank you! Will do!
What wonderful memories you folks are creating!

Thank you! Cheers! Love to NZ 😊

Lovely. I just enjoyed seeing a tour that reflects the e reality of motherhood rather than everything being perfectly aesthetic. These kids are learning, biking, laughing Beautiful. God bless yall. Jesus is the way 🙂
So glad you enjoyed it!
Absolutely loved this video of Gil working with your children on the skateboards!! Your commentary was very entertaining, Patrice. It gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling to see the bonds your family has formed. May God continue to bless all of you abundantly!! Chuck in Northern New England
So glad you enjoyed it, Chuck! Thank you so much for your kind words 😊
Great video 😊🌴
Hey Joe! 👋🏽😁Thanks!
Ariel with the Camera, Helping put her own Skateboard together. When the children r n their 20s 30s...they will have acquired skills schools don't teach anymore. She, they will be smart, handy and extremely Independent. Now that I'm n my 60's and parents r gone. The Memories of me doing things with my dad r the BEST! U no Men Love their Tools. Blessed to have both their parents allowing them to Stretch, Stretch, Stretch.
Those memories are precious! Thanks for sharing 😊
It was wonderful seeing your family having a great time. You and Gil are amazing parents!!!🎉
Aw thank you so much!
Dad time is so important. Thank you for sharing a little piece of your day with us.
It really is!
We lived in Wellington, Fl for 4 years, initially from Queens. We moved back after 4 years. We are now in NJ. Florida was too slow for us. Some NYers do stay.
Interesting to hear. Curious to see how we'll feel in a few more months. Thanks for sharing!
You have beautiful children, but why is their hair so unkept???
Cash is fabulous, I'm subscribed to his channel. I'm new to your channel & enjoyed this video. I'll continue to view 👌🏾❤.
Thanks for watching! ❤️
I feel so late right now! So glad my yt family decided to do this!🥰👌👍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👌👌
And so glad you watched! 😁
I love the ‘glass 1/2 full’ philosophy. I have family in NYC and visit them a lot. Many things in the city have gone downhill in the past few years and I hope it improves in the future, however the people in charge do not seem to be headed in that direction. But I still have hope! Bless your family and thanks for sharing with us.
My mom always says, "where there's life, there's hope" 😊 Thank you for sharing!
Patrice, and Gil. This was fun...thanks for sharing, I was almost correct, I thought Gil had a Russian accent. You are the coolest couple , you blend well together, wishing you much happiness❤❤❤❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Good ear on catching the Russian 😁 Thanks so much ❤️
Thanks for sharing part of your lives with us! Hugs to you all!
Our pleasure!
This is too sweet , I love watching you guys
Aw thanks!
Love y'all 💗
😘
Wow, thanks for this vlog!! In the earlier episodes, I seemed to remember four children, but then there were three. I thought perhaps I had been mistaken. So, thanks for clearing that up!! As for you, Gil, I always heard a slight accent, but could never place it. So, I just assumed you were Latino. What an interesting journey you have had!! You must speak at least four languages!! Gil, I totally agree with you about Cash Jordan, though I am horrified by the turn of events in NYC. As for me, there's no going back. It's a young person's town. And since I'm in my eighth decade, I am quite content to live in a more rural area. There is a line in the Gerry Rafferty song "Baker Street," the one with the beautiful sax solo in the intro. It perfectly sums up what I feel: "And then you'll settle down, in some quiet little town, and forget about everything." Peace and ❤❤❤ to you both and your family!! Chuck in Northern New England
Thanks, Chuck! We'd figured things may have gotten a bit confusing by now, so we were happy to clear things up. And Gil speaks 3 languages, since he didn't learn Lithuanian. Thanks for sharing, as always :)
@@totallyintegratedfamily Three languages are impressive, considering they are quite diverse. As an educator, I'm sure you know US schools did not do a great job teaching foreign languages in the past. I'm trying to resurrect my two years of high school French and I studied a year of Italian post-uni. I understand more of both than I can speak. Working alongside Spanish language speakers for twenty-five years in NYC enabled me to pick up words and phrases. After that time, I began a slow trek North, but then all the jobs I had were mostly with American-born folks. I did pick up a smattering of German and Portuguese along the way. I always found working with foreign-born people very stimulating and looked on it as a chance to learn some cultural facts and a few words in another language. Chuck
It is so good to see your family settling into your new environment. I am so pleased for you. Children are so resilient, and we "old folks" pick up on that energy to become, once again, young at heart too!! Wishing your family all the best!! Chuck in Northern New England
Yes they are! Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for sharing!!! And you are right. There are pros and cons wherever you are. The biggest con is the Hurricanes!! And they are predicted to be busy this seaon. So please be careful and stay safe!!! Love you guys!!!😊
So true! We are absolutely getting ourselves prepared! Thanks for the care 😊
Aww, you guys are adorable🤪
Aw thanks 😅
It was very nice getting to know you better.
😊
What a great story😊. Thank you for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for explaining about Ethan. I had figured he was a teen who was tired of being filmed, but thought he was getting a little too good at hiding from the camera. It's not our business but I appreciate knowing where your oldest was 'hiding.' I also love hearing stories of how people meet!
You are so welcome!
Love you guy!! I have Caribbean roots as well.
Nice! 😁 🖐️
Patrice. U never taken the x because NY Sucked your time and energy. For many took Souls! U r Smiling, Relaxing more we c the difference. Wait until your 1st return visit!
