Meet The Family

Bea is a French native. She has been living in the US for 11 years. Bea's family still lives in France in the Poitou-Charente province.

Dale was born in Louisiana, but was raised in Texas. Dale's family lives in Texas as well as in southern Louisiana in the heart of Cajun country.

Both Bea and Dale have a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Houston. This is where they met.

We are now the proud parents of a little boy named Nathan. He was born on April's fool day. Nathan has a rare genetic disorder called galactosemia. He cannot convert galactose (a sugar from lactose) to glucose. The disease has made him sick, but he is now fine. You can see a picture of him and learn more about his favorite things on our first link (The Ortegos' Baby NATHAN) below, and see more pictures of him on the last link.

We also have two yellow labradors, Jake and Angel (the devil). They are inseparable siblings.You can learn more about them and see a picture on our second link (The Ortegos' Pets) below.

The picture of Dale and Nathan above was taken on Saturday morning 8/7/99.


Our Favorite Vacations

We often go to France to visit Bea's family. We rent a car and drive around the country roads.

We have visited Thailand and the Cayman Islands before Nathan arrived. We are looking forward to visiting next Ireland and Italy.
