D.A.R.E.

We all know what D.A.R.E. stands for right?...Drug Abuse Resistance Education. I knew that, but yet I didn't. That is something I learned tonight at Taysa's D.A.R.E. graduation. I also learned during the course of this program at school how dedicated my daughter is to NOT doing drugs. I am so proud of her and how strong she is and will be. She is such a good girl and always wants to do what is right. I love you Taysa and I am very proud of the girl you are.

Christmas 2009

I have always loved Christmas time...the decorations, the shopping, the spirit, the food, the family and friends, basically everything about Christmas. But the past few years I've been so behind with my shopping that it has made Christmas more of a hassle and headache. I find myself just wishing it to be over. I know I should spend more time concentrating on what Christmas is all about but I really like to give...not only give just a gift, but the perfect gift. I have tried really hard to teach my girls that Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ and there I always am worrying about the shopping and having everything perfect. I guess I should learn from my own teachings. This year I am going to try hard to remember what Christmas is about and not worry so much about the PERFECT gift.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

2 Wheeler

Brooklyn finally learned how to ride a 2 wheeler. She is so happy that she doesn't have training wheels anymore. All she ever wants to do is ride her bike now.
