Leap Day! An extra day to celebrate!

Today Disneyland is open for 24 hours. As much as I love the place I am not interested in those kinds of crowds! Instead I went with Clayton to the Fullerton High School soccer banquet. My boy lettered on the varsity soccer team!  Woo Hoo! but even better, for the second year, he received the…

Happy New Year! 2012!

Today is traditionally the time for new beginnings, fresh starts and resolutions.  Last night we spent with our friends the Terry’s and we celebrated the new year in England, Rio de Janiero, Buenos Aires, Barbados, and New York.  Then Emily and I celebrated in Chicago and Scottsdale before I fell asleep! 🙂 Last night was…

Annual Update

Jim is the one who took care of the Christmas card and letter updates every year.  So, now that I am in charge, you are lucky to get anything at all.  Having said that, I do know that many of you have asked about how we are doing and wishing you had an update. So…

May it always be Christmas in your heart!

Merry Christmas 2011!  We are trying to make new traditions, which time honored traditions to keep, and to enjoy our celebration without Jim.  Last year was a blur since Jim had just left us for heaven and everything ached.  This year we are still finding it is difficult since Jim left a huge hole in…

Happy Birthday to me! Happy New Year!

There is something about the fall that to me has always felt more like “New Year’s” than the first day of January.  Simply put, every fall has marked new beginnings, fresh goals, new shoes and school supplies.   My “internal calendar” has always found its rhythm with the school season.  I am not sure but perhaps…

Floribama!

Most of you know I recently went to Florida and Alabama, while my kids were in Chicago, for a much needed visit with my relatives. It was fantabulous! Highlights include parasailing with my Aunt Crystal, a fresh shrimp boil, trying alligator (tastes like chicken), a free t-shirt (and food) from Milos, Tortugas pizza (best in…

Mother’s Day 2011

Yesterday I took a mini vacation with my friend Pam and we went down to Hollywood. We hiked to the Hollywood sign and ate ice cream at Didi Reise among other things.  I didn’t realize how much I needed the break.  I guess I am so busy working and parenting that I don’t think about…

Happy Star Wars Day

“May the Fourth be with you” is what I greeted Emily with this morning.  The Congressional Art contest was tonight and she got fourth place.  Perhaps I jinxed her!  LOL – She channeled her dad’s humor and came up with a variety of witty one liner puns to go with the day.  Tomorrow is “Revenge…

Happy Easter

We are celebrating the resurrection with the Moses clan.  The traditions are very different with teens.  They all want to hide the eggs but no one wants to hunt for them!  So after hiding some of the eggs for the 3 little girls we realized that we need to get more creative with the 11…
