Care For Them
Search for Sofia
We are searching for Sofia Nichole Guillen.
Date of Birth: Jan. 17, 2002, beloved, daughter, niece and granddaughter. She was abducted by her mother Chantale Adriana Guillen, Date of Birth: Sept. 26, 1983, the day before a custody ruling was to be handed down. The outcome, granting Jonathan Pirkl full or joint custody was not to her liking, so she fled the country with Sofia. Jonathan has been scouring the globe for his daughter ever since. Chantale’s family; mother Adriana A De Guillen, father Rodolfo Piza Guillen, sister Valeria Guillen and other family members have stonewalled all efforts from attorneys, investigators and private I’s to gain information into Sofia’s whereabouts. The court closed the case against Chantale in late 2005 believing she had fled the country as the trail had gone cold.
We believe she is once again living in the States and possibly remarried with another child. Thanks to one person’s diligent work we now know Chantale has lived, in the time since in: Bloomington, Illinois, Glendale Heights, Illinois and keeps a P.O. Box in Riverview, Florida where she once resided with her parents on Brant Tree Drive. She has also lived under many aliases; Chantale J Guillen, Chantale A Guillen, Chantale Guillen Alarcon, Chantale Guillenalarcon, Chantale Alarcon, Chantale Adriana Guillen Alarcon, and Chantale Adriana.
Stripping Jonathan of his rights as a parent was a sad, spiteful, cruel and thoughtless action. No one has the right to do what was done to both Jonathan and Sofia. Sofia needs to know Jonathan has never stopped searching for her, loving her and not a day goes by that she is not in his thoughts. Until she is found and reunited with her father and family January 17th will continue to be the saddest day of the year. Dreams, experiences, memories and joy passed that can never be recovered. She has a father that loves her, aunts and uncles that love her, a grandmother that loves her and we will not stop until we find her.

A message from Jonathan Pirkl:
I just want to get this out there in case is lands in front of my daughters mother, Chantale Guillen or Chantale Meier (married name). First thing is first… I am NOT here to take Sofia away from you, that was never my intention to begin with when I filed for parental rights. What I wanted was simple and fair… I only wanted to be able to take my baby home even if for only a short time, to meet her family,to carry her on my shoulders through the parks, to read to her at night, or just to build sand castles on the beach… I just wanted to do the simple things every father is put here to do… I just wanted the chance to know her. I have spent many years with this bottled up, eating me alive. I do not wish to take her away from you. That would only hurt my chances of building a relationship with Sofia. I realize as a young man and even throughout my life I have made mistakes, but I believe that does not warrant being robbed of a relationship with my own flesh and blood. I am not angry anymore. I am looking for you to search within your heart and allow OUR child to know the rest of her real family. There is no reason to keep things the way they are. We can fix this together. To everyone who has been so kind with the help, thoughts and prayers… I am truly overwhelmed. It means more than I could ever possibly explain. God Bless.
Respectfully,
Jonathan Pirkl

Christmas Tree in Mexico
We didn’t see any Christmas trees for sale in Mexico. So we made our own! Merry Christmas!
In saying that, we also didn’t have any ornaments to decorate the tree with or see any for sale where at the shops where we live. So we hung shells we found on the beach. I stripped tinfoil to make tinsel, and popped some popcorn and used a sewing need and thread to string it.
Tenzing made a sun and moon out of the top of an oatmeal can and put an LED light in the middle of it.

Kelli Linville wins Bellingham Mayors Race
Kelli just posted on Facebook:
Friends and supporters, after a long few weeks of waiting for all of the ballots to be counted, today the final results were certified and I am happy to finally say that I have been officially elected the next mayor of Bellingham. Thanks to everyone who has given their support in this past month and in the months leading up to the election. Next steps include working on a transition plan in the next several weeks before taking office at the beginning of January. I’ll keep you updated as we move forward into this exciting new chapter!
I have been a strong supporter of Kelli Linville because I keep running into her at important events! She never comes in and talks, she comes in and listens to what others have to say.
On one event I was holding “Live Peace International” I invited at the time Mayor Pike to speak and he had someone who said he would try to attend. He was one block away but never showed up.
I invited Kelli who did not RSVP but did show up and when she did she was being aired on PeaceDay.TV. She did not say one word about her mayors race, what she did was speak on peace in a very personal nature and when she left she was tearing up and said, “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to say that.”
As soon as I find the footage I will post it!
Cheers to the honorable new Mayor of Bellingham!

Steve Jobs Final Last Words
OH WOW, OH WOW, OH WOW
From the Mouth of Babes…
I am surprised as I write this blog that the definition goes to the book of Matthew.
It is very clear to me that every day I must strive to be good in the moment. Whatever moment that may be. OMG…WTF…SMH…doesn’t matter…I must be the conscious one in the situation I am given.
Darn the luck.
It was the changing of the guard today. Our turn to take the girls. It is as normal of a routine as we can establish. Well, their dad is still not feeling so well; his back is out and we are both fighting a cold.
Well super dad watched the girls while I did all our laundry in 2.5 hours. Yes laundromats actually cut down time if you can afford it. I love it. My big goal is to have the budget to drop it off for them to do it. That would make them happy too. It’s great business!
After I did the super laundry run, and ran to the store to get the best of the best lunch snacks available…boy I would have been stoked to have this kind of lunch back in my day!
We came home, and they were awesome…it was time to take care of the animals and they did!
Next, we brushed Wilbur…and hung out with the llamas….who are skiddish for sure!
It’s already October…and we still have cherry tomatoes to pick…we must save the fruit and freeze it immediately. I discuss this in the greenhouse with the girls about times that are bountiful, and times that due to circumstances are not…and that is why we prepare….
