Nate Turns 12

Nate is 12 now and no longer measures his height to Mom but now sets his sights to Dad's.





Nate checks out the comics that Grandma sent. Grandma knows what Nate likes. The clothes fit perfect and were "cool" enough for him to wear to school.



Happy Birthday, Mom (Nora)

A birthday card saying THANKS, THANKS, THANKS.
Mom showing off a Police cd. I also received a Barry Manillo, one of Nate's favorite's (I Can't Smile Without You). Marcelle gave me a sleeve protector for my Blackberry and Chris gave me a new, compact camera. It was a great day having heard from everyone and even from Mike and Nan (the day after which was a very special day for them - what an honor).


Natalie's Piano Recital




The recital took place in the Carlsbad Acadamy for Making Museum. I video taped her actual performance. These pictures were taken in the museum after. She should be in drama. She likes to pose without prompting. Who am I to discourage her creative stance.


Greek Day for 6th Graders

Nate awaits for the first event of the Greek games with his team.
Team Sparta prepare for the Tug-of-War event.


Janie shows off her spring 'do.


Natalie Kick's off the New Soccer Season





Natalie is in the white head band (9). It was clear to us that she has been practicing on the playground between seasons. The league is co-ed this season but it doesn't seem to bother her.

Janie Scores on Easter


Janie shoes that Malti-Poos are also hunters as she munches on a easter egg she got ahold of when we weren't looking.
