First Day of School

      First Day of "Real" School in America       

                  January 30, 2006

       

This is a picture of Andrea after her first day of classes at the middle school.  She really liked the school and the teachers.  She says the boys are just "rude".  I guess at her age, boys are like that.  In a year or two, I'm sure she will think differently and I will panic.

This is her special week.  She has become a big sister and started special education classes.  She says that Kayla is a little bossy and I had to explain to her that Kayla has been not only helping to care for Lupe but she has had to take care of her mom as well.  That kind of makes a kid bossy.  I have some pictures I took of Andrea during Christmas time here in our sunny hometown of Ventura.  I had a hard time finding them once I saved them, so here they are, a little bit late.

    This is something we can do almost all year round here.  Sometimes the beach is windy and cold, but it is just beautiful to behold. 

California is one of the most expensive places to live, but look at the smile on my little girl's face.  Could you make her move someplace else?  I am so proud of her and the empathy she has for Kayla and Lupe.  She is a wonderful young lady and my very special miracle child.

We are slowly getting adjusted to having 3 girls here now.  It doesn't seem like there are enough hours in the day and Rob and I are both tired.  Saturday night, a lady from the church is taking all 3 girls so we can have a little "we" time.  There's not much of that around here lately.  I think we'll even lock Dufus in his cage! 

I thank those of you who have left such nice comments and mentioned us and Angie in your prayers.  Blessings, Penny
