d birthday gurl...

foursome...

Philip, that's not your first egg roll, ha?!

Alheli, where r u looking at?

Daddy with his angels...

The BOOKWORMS!

"Ah, uh... blah, blah, blah..." Read to me riddles and read to me rhymes, Read to me stories of magical times, Read to me tales about castles and kings, Read to me stories of fabulous things. Read to me pirates and read to me knights, Read to me dragons and dragon-book fights, Read to me spaceships and cowboys and then, When you are finished- please read them again.

FISH ANYONE?!

"BONITA" Fresh from Hermosa Pier!

Look what Philip is playing with... it's a live mackerel fish!

Alheli's 1st Day in School...

Today I hurry off to school,

To work, and learn and play, I'm in Kindergarten this year. What a happy day!

On my back a pack I carry. In it, all my treasures. It's what I need so I can be one class higher. Crayons, rulers, scissors, too! And yes a lil' Elmer's glue. Paper, pencils, in my bag... Wonder what made mom so sad? Uniform, nice and neat. Will it really stay this clean? On my back a pack I carry. In it, all my treasures! Today I'll be, Just watch and see, One class higher.

It's 6:45am and I'm ready for school...

Vamonos... C'mon, let's go! It's my first day in school...

...this is my school!

...waiting for my name tag

I wonder if my drawing will be as good as theirs, I wonder if they'll like me, or just be full of stares, I wonder if my teacher will look like mom or gram, And I wonder if Philip will wonder where I am.

At Hermosa Pier
