  Hope and Drew are busy school and friends. They had an awesome experience building a house in Mexico last summer. Hope is practicing Spanish and Drew is learning more about electronics and doing an in-depth study of the xbox 360.  Neither of them have blown anything up recently.

  Jada has been devouring books and reading until her eyes are bloodshot.  If I've managed to raise an author, I have a feeling it is Jada.  She has a creative imagination.  She is still playing basketball and is a star on the court.  A good friend of mine gave her a new puppy and she named it Inky.  It will take a while to assimilate the new pup into our family.   This wasn't a planned addition...

  Roman continues to munch on dog food, bugs, dirt and rocks.  He has a frighteningly large vocabulary and knows how to use it to his advantage.  He loves music and is little enough to believe Mommy has a beautiful voice so I sing through the day.  Some day he will wise up and turn the radio up to drown me out.  His favorite book is "Hands, Hands, Fingers, Thumb"  we read it too many times a day.  What a happy little guy, he brings laughter to each of our lives.

           Family News!

The kids are working hard in school and at play.  I am working and going to school.  Life is just plain good!

On the rare occasions when I do find time for play, I enjoy doing many different things.  I love to write, read, make glass tile mosaics, paint, build things, write computer programs, make web pages, scuba dive, swim, ride my bike, listen to music, play fetch with my chocolate lab... the list really goes on and on.  I like a little bit of everything and writing allows me to express that.

I'm enrolled at UALR as a Technical and Professional writing major and English minor. If all goes as planned I will graduate in 2008. I am pleased to be apart of the Editing Native American Texts project where some of my anthropology classes will finally be put to use. It is a creative way to add English credits to my schedule and I enjoy it very much. 

Sooner or later this writing thing will be my full time job -- one way or another!

              Events!
Hard to believe it, but Roman is two.  He is the perfect completion of our family.
 
He loves the outdoors and is already working on his golf swing.  When he isn't outside,  he spends all of his time reading...  just like Me!
 
Hope recently won four trophies and two crowns at the regional and state Cinderella pageants.  We are working on her driving skills now.  
 
Jada moved up to middle school this year, she is ready for it even if I'm not.  She has grown so tall and beautiful!
 
Drew is always looking for something to build/modify or destroy -- I mean repair.  He has grown a mop of curly hair and is almost six feet tall!
