Farewell for now Elsa

On August 22, 2009, Elsa joined Wallace in Doggy Heaven. She had been suffering from cancer and it finally got the best of her. We will always miss you Elsa!

Coronado, California...summer 2009

Dave's brother Mike and his wife Sarah just had a baby girl (after 4 boys). Her name is Sydney. We were able to go down to Coronado for her blessing. It was so great. The cousins had a blast, we had yummy tacos el gordo, and of course, played all day at the beach!


Eleanor learned to boogie board and she loved it!


Lucas was "body boogie boarding"...he would lay down and let the waves carry him back to shore...without the boogie board!

.....more Coronado

One of my favorite people in the world...my sister in law Sarah, and her new beautiful baby girl Sydney.

Sam the surfer!

Eleanor loved holding Sydney!

kids, kids, kids

ahhhh...every day I realize how blessed I am to have such wonderful children. I can't imagine my life without them! They make me laugh, cry, scream, but most of all, they make me undeniably happy.




First day of School, and Ballet!

This year, Eleanor started 2nd grade! I have dreaded the first day every year since Kindergarten, and this year is no different. I miss this sweet girl every day! Not to mention she is such a great helper with William and Lauren. Now when she's gone, Lucas really has to be my helper, which he is getting better and better at. This year Eleanor also started ballet. She dances at the same dance studio that I danced at 26 years ago!
