Happy Birthday, Larissa!

We had cake a couple days ago to celebrate Larissa's birthday, pre-tubes and with adenoids. I remember when she was so little. (Literally, 5 pounds is little!)

Double Hitter

I took these cute, young ones to surgery today. They are sleeping and tucked into their own beds right now.

When you are married to a history teacher, your San Diego vacation takes a unplanned, fun side track.


Grant loved the Russian submarine and the old military ships.
Just for fun: Imagine Grant and I going through that small submarine door.

Budding Musical Talent

I walked downstairs to see this! Raea practicing for her piano lessons.

I played the cello for over 6 years. I did multiple, music summer camps every year, private lessons, and belonged to the Phoenix Junior Symphony, but I still can count the times I practice on one hand. (I realize one of my biggest problems is that I couldn't tune my instrument well and didn't like the way it sounded.)

It is a shame I can't say her good choices are because of me.

I think the musical instrument you pick to play says a lot about you, a follow up blog is required.
