Me anD My KiddOs ( or ShadOws )



Kids can keep you hopping! They need something from the time they wake til they fall asleep. Some days I don't know if I will make it through the day and other days are fairly blissful! I would not trade my job though, because they are more than worth it!

" I aM PrOuD To Be An AmEriCaN "


I have had many discussions with friends and family over the last few months concerning politics and things that we all hold dear. As I have talked, emailed, written and discussed these topics, I have come to this conclusion. We all love our country, we all love our families and we all want the same thing in the end. We want America to be happy and whole and continue to be the land of opportunity. God bless the USA!!

I am very proud to be only a third generation American. My great- grandparents immigrated here from Armenia. They came with nothing and built a very good life for themselves and left a legacy for their family. I have such a strong sense of pride when I think of them and when I think of America. Let's all try to come together and unite. Put our differences aside and focus on what we have in common. As I tell my friends who voted differently than I did.... we have more in common than you think!

They look so innocent!





I know that these two look like perfectly well mannered children....Looks can be deceiving! If you are looking for a cheap hair cut, give us a call. Charlie will do it free of charge. He will even cut your American Girl doll's hair for you!

And..... if you want someone to talk to late at night when all of your own children or friends are asleep, give Sophie a call.She'd be happy to talk to you. She really, really hates to go to bed and loves to talk late at night!

But.... they do look pretty cute, so we'll keep them.


(at least for now.)

GrAnDmA GwEn




My children are very priviledged to have all four of their grandparents in their lives and close by. They are also very lucky to have a very special relationship with their great- grandma Gwen. She is so wonderful to them! Charlie spends each Tuesday afternoon with her and Sophie used to do the same before she started school. It is so fun to see the sweet relationship my kids have with her. I just love her too! We are so glad that she moved back from Arizona 5 years ago!
