It's official! Alex's FIRST college acceptance letter arrived today. I'm proud to say that he's been officially accepted at Carthage College in Kenosha, WI! Woo Hoo for Alex!!! Mind you, that was one school of probably four he will ultimately be applying to . . . stay tuned for the rest of the results!!! We will keep you posted!

WAY TO GO ALEX!!! Great way to start Senior year!!!

NEWSFLASH! Lost Tooth!!

Miss Carly lost her FIRST TOOTH tonight! I helped her get it OUT - it was hanging by a mere thread! LOL! We have a VERY proud little girl! Finally - she has waited a LONG time for this big event! Congratulations to Carly! :o)

A Senior, an 8th Grader, and a 1st Grader . . .

Ready or not, here we go! Off to another school year! Here are a few of the pictures from our annual "first day of school" photo shoot.

I know it won't surprise you when I say that I'm SAD to see summer come to an end. The school year brings new levels of stress, worry, anxiety, and chaos to our already overloaded household. :o) I must say, though, that all 3 kids bounced back with enthusiasm. Alex primarily because he's finally a SENIOR, Nick because this means he'll get to actually SEE all of his friends every day instead of just texting them, and Carly because she is SO EXCITED to be a 1st grader AND she lucked out and got into the same class with one of her very bestest friends (the same little girl she spent all summer with). We'll see how happy all 3 of them are in another couple of weeks. Ha!

18 Years of Wedded Bliss!

We walked down the aisle on August 1, 1992 in beautiful Mission Viejo, California. Our wedding day was PERFECT. Couldn't have asked for anything more. One of the happiest days of my life. Thought it would be fun to share a few photos from that wonderful, awesome day.

Happy Anniversary to us! :o)
