Rhys' New Look

Rhys in the water at Lake Tahoe last summer.
Now, one year later he has lost 6 teeth and resembles a Jack-o-Lantern. How appropriate for October!

Back to School Again!

We are all back in school again...

Rhys entered first grade and Alyssa in fourth grade at College Park this year. We decided to take a break from the gas prices and do our part by riding bikes to school every day. The kids really love it and we have joined a growing group of parents and kids who ride each day. I am actually getting a little exercise! We have forged a bond with the crossing guard who has been at her post for something like 20 years or so. She shakes a mean stop sign!

Tristan is taking his first college courses at Irvine Valley College (IVC). I am trying to keep my nose out of his business so that he feels independant. I do remember quite well what I was doing (and not doing) my freshman year at Va Tech, so I am trying not to judge. :)

Chris' business is very busy right now. This is great news - as it is paying the bills, but we don't get to see him very much. Hopefully it will work out that he can get a little help and we can see him more!
