My Chica's

Luna and Daphne are my sweet chica's. Luna is 4 - we adopted her from the lab rescue last March and aside from a carbohydrate addiction, she is perfect! Daphne is 14 1/2 now and she is my sweet girl. She is always happy and so patient with Luna and Maya!

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year, we spent Thanksgiving in Bodega Bay, enjoying walks along the beach and the ocean waves and beautiful weather. We are so thankful for our family, friends, health and home. Our best wishes to all of you.

Disneyland Fun!

We had the best adventure at Disneyland 2 weeks ago! Jack and Maya were both such troopers and Maya has become a little daredevil! She loved many rides we thought she'd be afraid to ride. Jack completed the Jedi tranining and it was so cool to watch him battle Darth Vader! Here are a few pictures from our trip.

Halloween 2009

Jack was Jengo Fett (Star Wars bounty hunter) 2 years ago for Halloween. Last year, he really wanted to be Boba Fett (Star Wars bounty hunter) and I talked him into being his second choice, Indiana Jones. Well, this year, he still really wanted to be Boba Fett and I thought his dedication to the bounty hunters needed to be honored. Well, Maya had decided on Snow White, but a last minute upgrade in costume made her Jengo Snow White - the best princess bounty hunter in the universe! She was a crack-up in her stroller and costume, cruising the neighbhorhood!

We had a great Halloween. Cody, Ryan, Carter and Hal joined us for trick or treating!

Jack's Poem

We are so proud of Jack. His poem was selected by the International Rose Garden of Peace Committee, to be displayed in the rose garden this year. Here we are at the unveiling of his plaque after he read his poem in front of the whole school. I am a very proud mommy!

Jack takes flight!

Russ took Jack to the McCellan Park Aerospace Museum this weekend. They had a wonderful adventure and plan to go back again!

Lovely Ladies

Happy Anniversary, Maya!

Two years ago today, we were blessed with adding Maya to our lives in Guatemala. I love you, my little chica! I cannot imagine a time without you!
