Hello!

I haven't been on here for a while. So much has happened!! Summer was wonderful, spending over a month at my parents vineyard in CA. Shondrel learned to swim and a good work ethic! Sydney learned to love cats, rabbits, and fish. Shonnie started Kindergarten this last month and she is thriving! I am so excited to see her everyday after school. You can tell she genuinely enjoys her teacher and learning. She loves her classmates and has a fabulous time and it warms Mama's heart.

Syd and I are alone during the day and it has been quite the adjustment for Syd. She misses her Sissy and asks often where Shonnie is. It is nice to go back to work a couple of days a week. Nice for me to have some adult conversation.

More to come!! Stay tuned.

Sydney and Shonnie

Sydney starts swim lesson in July with Mommy and me. I am excited as well so they can swim at Gramdma Mimi's this summer in San Diego and Vineyard.

Update May 2009

We are excited for summer! WHOOHOOOO!

Update on the family

Sydney is two and is quite the little diva. I am trying to get her potty trained, but we'll see how that goes. I love my family!!

Hi EVERYONE! I have been busy with work so haven't had a chance to update. It is May and I am excited for the summer. This is the last summer before Shondrel goes to Kindergarten! YEAH!
