Learning to be a Lady

Rachel had an etiquette class this month with her Daisy troops. It was quite a sight. All the Daisies were to get dressed up in their finest. No small feat in this day and age! Rachel learned how to engage in conversation, thank someone for coming to her party, sit properly at a table and use all the utensils, and finally my favorite - how to write a thank you note! Let's see if it sticks! So far Rebecca has had to go through this class twice and counting!

Merry Belated Christmas

Sorry it has been so long since the last post! It was a busy Holiday Season.

We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. The girls were and still are a twitter with new gifts and all the trappings of the Holidays. We added a new member to our family...Makena - a 5 month old male Shitz-Tsu. So far we are all smitten - except maybe Sarge!

Allison Garcia

Allison Garcia is here! Maria, our Nanny, gave birth to the most beautiful baby girl. Scott, the girls and I are so excited she has finally joined us and can't wait until she can come over and play!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.

The girls learned how to set a formal table and got to celebrate Thanksgiving twice this year. We started out Thanksgiving morning off with delivering meals for the Visiting Nurses Association. We are thankful for our family and friends and we are thankful that we can give back to the community.

Candes and Milan

Scott and I were in Lanai Hawaii over the weekend for Candes' Wedding. She is my very best friend from growing up and made a beautiful bride. Be on the look out for more pics of the wedding. You may even catch a glimpse of Scott and I when her wedding is profiled on Platinum Weddings....I will let you know when it airs!

Congratulations Candes!!!

Halloween Confession

So I carried the camera around the entire night on Halloween - not a single picture was taken!!! Must have been a sugar rush. Rebecca (10) was the Sour half of a Sweet & Sour costume. She dressed up with her friend from school Ruchita. Rachel (6) was Sharpee from High School Musical 3.

Here are some pics from Rachel's Halloween Parade at school where she was Oreo Pie. They made these costumes in Art and all of the Primers were some sort of Pie.....

Rachel and Sarah Jane

Primer Rocks!

The Ladies: 3

Had to add a pic of my 2 favorite ladies since the chief complaint on the last visit to Dallas was that there was not a picture up of the 3 of us....so it will be added to all aspects of my life including the Blog.


To the girls who are more worldly than one can describe in a mere blog paragraph.

Thank you.


Thank you for inspiring my young daughters, whether you know it or not. My girls truly look up to you with the upmost of admiration and awe....if I could only tell them, I knew you when...
