Hello new camera!

Can you believe this? I have always felt stronger and could beat my kids at most games...........but not any more. This girl, Erica, is so strong in the pool. I watched her and was amazed at how easy swimming appeared as she so naturally glided across the water... Wow, and I do mean DOUBLE WOW!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE CLARITY IN THESE PICS??? Thank you, Kelly, for continuously pushing me to take the next step in photos...

Bragging about my brother

KNEE HIGH ON THE 4TH OF JULY

ON A WARM SUMMER NIGHT, MY DAD ALWAYS TOLD ME THAT IF YOU LISTEN CLOSELY YOU COULD HEAR THE CORN GROWING! IT IS HAPPENING IN THIS HOUSE TONIGHT, I SWEAR. AS I GO IN ERICA'S AND NATE'S ROOMS I THINK I CAN HEAR THEM GROWING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEIR HANDS, FEET AND BODIES.!!!!!

Dear Edwina

Is it worth the daily drive, money spent, and time away from home? Erica spent one month practicing for the musical Dear Edwina. Many times I asked myself if it was worth it.............Well, after watching the show and being able to hear this angelical voice the answer is.........Most definitely YES!!!

New Frizzi Boat

Change in Sails

This is the motor boat we have used for 10 years. I have enjoyed every inch of this fine boat...........BUT...........Today we came home with this boat.........

Memory of a Lifetime!

These pictures brought tears to my eyes. Erica's friend, Allison, invited Erica to go to Miami SeaAquarium. Erica, Allison, and their two Dads drove them over, went snorkeling in the Keys, and then experienced the memory of a lifetime. Thank you Allison for this great opportunity.
