This past weekend Elliott celebrated her first holy communion. When given two dates to choose from, I decided to go with Saturday the 11th of May so that it would fall on Mother’s Day weekend. My in-laws and mom would be in town and we’d all be able to celebrate Mother’s Day together for the [...]
Elliott is receiving her first holy communion this weekend. It’s a big deal. I know this because I just went through it myself about 6 weeks ago. She’s been preparing for this since October and she is so excited. Her catechist has done such a fantastic job this year paving the road to her first [...]
This little fetus had his first day of his {last} year of preschool today… Man, five years has never gone so fast. I remember September 28, 2006 like it was yesterday… And in 5 years from now when he’s starting 4th grade, today will seem like it was just yesterday, too… Elliott sent him off [...]

She made it! {But almost didn’t} I tried to hold back a few tears! {But couldn’t} More on this milestone tomorrow…
Dear Elliott, Your First Year was filled with so much…both literally and figuratively. Here are some highlights: You visited the San Diego County Fair at just a few weeks old. You took your first plane ride at 3 months. You and Rascal kept Mommy company on our drive to Nor Cal (your new home) when [...]
March ’03 was a big month for Jay and me… We made an offer on our first house. It was a darling mid-30s Craftsman in an old neighborhood of San Diego called Talmadge. This little, almost 1500 square foot house was full of character & charm and had LOTS of potential…Jay and I were both [...]
