Signs of Summer 2009

My Son & the SAT’s

Below was copied from my Myspace blog.  Which was where I first tried out the blogging thing.  Transferring them over to my “real” blog since I may be closing the Myspace account.  Don’t want to lose the memories!May 5, 2008 – Monday 

SAT’s Current mood:  blessed Ok so this weekend my son, Matthew, took the SAT’s.  He is twelve.  I am so proud that he did it, but also feel guilty for putting him through it.  He was a wreck before it started, but then found out it wasnt so bad.  He walked out of there very relieved, while the high schoolers around him were crushed at how hard it was.  I cannot believe how smart this boy is.  I love the fact that he is so proud of it.  If he was to get a C on his report card he would be crushed.  I am happy he has this drive, while still being a funny, sensitive child (on the verge of being a man!)  Good going, Matt, shoot for the stars!! 7:59 AM  2 Kudos

Summer Portraits

Sara’s school came up with a new moneymaking opportunity for themselves.  Another round of school pics, this time considered “portraits.”  She has aged so much in just 9 months, I couldn’t help but buy them and scrap away!  Even came with bookmarks and keychains with her face on them!  Who could resist!?

Uncle Willie

Greatly missed.  Known for his overflowing cactus gardens.  His bedroom drawer bank account.  His being the local handyman/delivery service for the local “lady” friends in the neighborhood.  His macrame collection.  Always the substitute “papa” since mine were both deceased.  His adorable little house in Holiday City @ Berkeley.  The pacemaker that kept on ticking.  Hope you are rocking it in heaven with your brothers!
