Completion of 2010

The best way I can think of leaving 2010 is with a good belly laugh.

Happy New Year to you all. Many blessings for a wonderful, loving, prosperous and peace-filled new year.

Final quote of the year - No one else can speak the words on your lips. Drench yourself in words unspoken. Live your life with arms wide open. Today is where your book begins. The rest is still unwritten. Natasha Bedingfield

Amira's letter to Grandpa

Mom

‎"No gift to your mother can ever equal her gift to you - life."

Thinking of my mom on her birthday today.

Miss you dearly.

Amazing

Some days it's so hard to believe Amira is now 7 years old and in second grade. I don't think we truly appreciate the term "where does the time go" until we have our own children.

Amira seems to like second grade much better than first. There is more of a sense of confidence in her. She really enjoys reading and math, but still holds the most finity for art.
