4 more days

Only 4 more days until Sam gets home, we cannot wait. We have had quite a time while Dad has been gone, everything has gone much better than expected. The kids really miss their Dad, I really miss my husband, and we are ready for life to return to normal.

While he has been gone we have been doing remarkably well on our own thanks to Grandma (Sam's mom), Grandpa and Tutu (my parents), SammyJojo (my best friend Johanna and her son - Dante's best friend - Samuel) and Grandpa Jim (our across the street neighbor and adopted grandpa). We have survived almost unscathed, Camille had a brief run in with the emergency room after falling off of my bed (totally my fault, we fell asleep together and she rolled off) in all actuality the doctor was more concerned about me than her.

So until my best friend returns we will continue to count the days and hope that he is having a wonderful time in Europe.

Until next time......

Big Things



There are big things happening here for our family, my wonderful husband is making huge moves in his art career. He is leaving Sunday for 2 weeks in Europe, he is being flown out to participate in a Hip Hop Festival to showcase his handstyle (tag). Then he is going to do a bit of traveling while there - Paris - Geneva - Rome - Venice - then back home to his loving family - I miss my best friend already.

He has also been chosen as the "artist in residence" for Key Arena here in Seattle. He and Hews (a friend of his for many years) will be creating custom mural backdrops for all of the major musical acts that come to town. They start tonight with a mural for Billy Joel and Elton John.

We couldn't be happier and we are so proud. The kids are happy and healthy and life is good. Until next time.............
