This weekend Ari had her first volleyball tournament. It was down south in Rancho Santa Margarita. I took this picture of her warming up. She would like me to say this was a game winning spike but perhaps that will come one day soon. For now we will stay humble and just say that she is working really hard and is very grateful to be on the team.

This is Alex on his first day of third grade. If you know Alex you'll not be surprised to see the bottle of hand sanitizer on his book bag and the "political" button as well.

This is Indy's first day of first grade. She lost two front teeth within one week so her smile is full of holes but still very cute.

Me? well I'm exhausted from a weekend away and two days of volleyball and driving. I have managed to get to know some of the volleyball mom's. This is not something I was looking forward to since you all know how much I "LOVE" to chat and meet new people but I sucked it up and made myself sit with them and they were actually very down to earth and friendly. I feel a bit out of place because of being the "new girl" in town but have received a very warm welcome from all the parents I've met.

It's back to the gym in the morning. My knee has been bothering me and Shelley has managed to sustain quite the nice little tear in her calf muscle so it will be a morning of elliptical machines for us instead of our usual Monday morning run along the beach.
