Thank you Willy and Winley for hosting a fun and special dinner for us. Thank you to all who took time to share good food, beautiful music and vocals, and special warm hugs and thoughts. We will miss you all, but hey, we are just a facebook click away. And there is always that big summer camping we can all do up there one day. Meanwhile, let’s PARTY! 
Click here to view a few pictures from that night.
Summer went by fast… After all the library visits, swimming, arts and crafts, ice cream treats, movies, baking and cooking, it’s time to go back to school again. The girls as usual were very excited to start a new school year especially Franchesca who’s now going to Junior High. There will be a lot of adjustments with her being in a different campus than Francine, but so far everything is working out well for us.
This will be a special and challenging school year and I wish my lovely girls all the best. Hugs and kisses from Dad and Mom!
