SUMMER is Coming!


Most schools are out for Summer! Lots of plans have been made. Vacations are forthcoming as the weather warms up...(NOT my favorite aspect of this time of year...I am a true Northern Girl at heart!)

Kim will be turning 18 this month! All of you who have known us since time began know how difficult a time I had trying to carry a pregnancy before she was born. And yet, here she is, and almost grown. I am so proud of her confidence, personality, and of course beauty. It is very bittersweet...my heart is so full yet feels somehow empty. Not a child anymore. And our relationship will ever be evolving into a newly defined "friendship". She will be traveling to Florida with her best friend (pictured with her above) this month. They will be visiting a mutual third friend who now lives on the Beach! Woohoo...what a fun birthday she will have!

Linsey continues to amaze me! She has a unique and special way of looking at the World. She is usually optimistic and sees allof the COLOR in things. A happy way to be! Last night she brought me a quick 30 minute sketch she had done...Her hand holding a bundle of colored artist pencils. The unique thing about it was that she had added in a little color but ONLY to the lead tips of the pencils! So visually stimulating! Speaking about art.....she will be showcasing all of her drawings at the Josey Ranch Library this month! She is one of two teens who will be there, along with other teens who will read poetry, sing, or play music. Lindsey is so excited and has been on a Matting spree for days!

Have a great summer and let those toes out of your sneakers!!! We are just getting Started!
