Where did the last 3 years go???

3 years ago today, Elisa joined our family at 4:45 pm, weighing 8 pounds 15 ounces and measuring 21 inches long!

What a blessing this little drama-filled girl has been!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELISA!!!

Daddy's Biggest Fans

If you didn't know it, Alex is one of the Holton HS Football coaches...so we get to watch Holton Football at its finest!!! The kids particularly like looking for Daddy on the sideline or in the huddle. Tonight we made it through 2 plays before the storms hit - we ran to the van through pouring rain, thunder and lightning. We will make a second attempt at cheering tomorrow afternoon since the game was suspended until then. Go Wildcats!!!!

1st Day of School

Yesterday was the 1st day of school for Onaga school kids. It was a half day with today being a full day. It has been wonderful starting later, but I feel super behind in everything school related. Katina and Noah are both in school this year, so I get to take them to school with me and help them to their classes. That is an awesome treat! Elisa goes to daycare and Noah joins her by noon on the bus. He is a preschooler attending in the mornings Monday - Thursday. Katina goes all day to 1st grade. So she comes to my classroom after school.

After 2 days they both are still very excited and want to go back. We hope this enthusiasm lasts until May of 2022 and 2024 when they graduate!

Tortillas fritas con salsa?

Chips and Salsa anyone? Thanks to a generous neighbor with an overabundance of tomatoes....I got ambitious and made my first batch of salsa. I must say it is tasy! Not hot and a little heavy on cilantro...(Myrna - you'd like) so, I may have to add some jalapenos if the kids decide they do not like it...then Alex and I can enjoy it a little hotter!
