Changes


When 'E' finished Kindergarten


Notice the orientation of 'E's' certificate.
It is a proud moment.


When the Ranger became implanted in our lives.


'E' on her 10th birthday.


The girls at 'D's' first BMX race.

When did I give permission to my children to grow up? Wait wait wait.......I have a daughter just on the verge of young womanhood (if you know what I mean). She still plays with Barbies, likes to color, dress up.....but then she is a nuturer with her younger sis, she can apply make-up, has a pretty good eye with fashion. Slow down sweetie.

'D''s latest interest......



BMXing. There is a relatively new BMX track in Santa Maria. The Ranger has been taking D down for practice and this passed Saturday D raced in his first race. Pretty impressive stuff. Fun to watch his passion. He came in second in his class. The winner in his class was another 13 year old - a girl. D's comment "maaan, she is fast". Turned out we were sitting at the same viewing table as her family. D came up and did some hand shake thing congratulating her. I really thought his sportsmanship had matured sooooo much.
Oh yes, D is the one in the red jersey.


School Year 2008

There they are......my three blue-eyed babies. 'D' is in 8th, 'E' in 5th, and 'A' is 2.

It seems like yesterday that I had no babies. Then I blinked, I have three beautiful children and live in someplace that was only a dream.
