Seattle
Ty, Kennedy and I went to Seattle earlier this month. It was the first time for all 3 of us. We had such a great time! It was cold for Kennedy and I but it didn't stop us from being out all day every day seeing the sights. We ate some great food,saw the sights and mostly just enjoyed each other. It was a trip that I will never forget and hope that Ty and Kennedy won't either.

my return to blogging
I realize that it has been well over a year since I have last updated our blog. I have no excuses. For a while I blamed facebook and said that I was connecting with everyone there...but it isn't the same. Our blog friends are our real friends; and after going back though our blog (for the first time in a year) I realized that I was a lot more open and honest in what I posted and said on my blog because I wasn't so worried about what anyone thought. The only people that look at our blog are the people that already REALLY know us already and are not just reconnecting after 20 years.
After spending the past 1 1/2 hours going through our blog - all the way to the beginning in January 2008 - I realized that I started that blog as a way to keep family updated on our family and our adventures in Hawaii. But as I went back through and read my captions and entries I realized that I also started the blog for myself; It made me feel closer to family and friends back home. I am hoping that by starting to put new entries in again I will somehow feel that connection again......I need to feel it right now more than ever.
It was also pointed out to me by a great friend that this blog can serve as a journal for my family and after looking at it again after all this time I realized how right he was. I saw and read things that I had forgotten about. I laughed out loud and I cried - those are reasons enough for me to start up again!

Isabelle received the quarterly award for Caring and Compassion at her school - we were so proud of her
school starts
On the second day of school Tommy's appendix ruptured and we took in him in for an emergency appendectomy. It was a very scary day. We were very lucky that we had such incredible doctors taking care of him and grateful that he had such a speedy recovery. Dr. Shim told us that he had one of the worst ruptures he had ever seen and recovered by far, the fastest. T is one tough kid. He was very anxious to get home and back to school.
te amo abuelito
Isabelle is constantly giving her Abuelito little gifts of rocks, shells and flowers that she finds on walks. Roger and I love coming in to see what new treasures she has given him each day. :)
