First day of school is always full of excitement to see their friends. With jet lag, they are up early with plenty of time to get ready for school. This will end soon and Roxi will have to “attack” the girls to get them out of bed. The bus is leaving at 7:04am this […]

Aunt Kathy took the girls for a fun day to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. We have only been one other time to the Broadwalk when Kate came to visit us in California. They stated the day at Capitola at a famous bakery which the girls reported back with a thumbs up!

Emersyn received an invitation to fill out an application for National Junior Honor Society (NJHS). I THOUGHT if she had an invite, she must be in, but I was wrong. There were 110 students eligible based on grades. An invite went out to 80 students, in which 40 applications were returned. Many students did […]

The fun, rhyme invite is done by Jim. I had a hard time finding a good skating photo of Emersyn. This photo is from Hong Kong when Karin and I took the kids across a couple islands to go ice skating.

It’s official, we have a teen in the house. Emersyn turns THIRTEEN today! I couldn’t be more proud of the person she is becoming.

We started the morning off right – with presents.

Eleri gave Emersyn this cute card (more of a book) she made. Here are a […]
