A Little Shout Out

Katrina, why didn't we take a picture together while you were here?!  Grrrrr....that was completely negligent of me.  I am so grateful my New York friend came to visit.  And when I had to leave her here alone so I could dart off to church, true to form, she was cool with that.  Thank you for coming!

I miss all of my New York friends greatly.  Sending you love and sunshine from California.

First Day in the First Grade (clap)

 Back to school!!!! Hallelujah!

Dance Class

I have already become a soccer mom. I am now becoming a dance mom. 

 The Girl has been asking me to put her in dance class for 6 months.  I told her she had to wait until she was three and fully potty trained. 

We started today and she was done with it after 30 minutes.  She was a little afraid to be without her mama for so long, but I talked her into finishing up. She said she didn't want to go back, but I've already paid for two more lessons.  So....she's going.

Hives

This is how we found out the Boy is allergic to penicillin.  After putting him on it for a gum infection above the loose tooth we (somewhat tragically) had to pull, he developed this lovely rash on the plane home.

First Tooth

It was a long, slow, semi-traumatic experience.

Memorial

I'm not certain I want to remember this day forever by putting it in my blog.   But significant moments are a part of life even if they are sad, and I want to remember the significant moments.

I only have a brief thing to say about my father's memorial service.  It was a hard day.  It was harder than it should have been. I'm grateful for what closure it brought to me.
