Some 2009 School Moments for Son

Posted on May 19, 2009 by

This has been a trying first year of high school for my son.

Fishing trips, Girl Scout campout, visiting relatives, first time I was home alone in probably 20+ years, first time using a tiller, and then there is a first for my 12-year old daughter. She got her first perm. She is a lot like me in that she prefers a no-fuss hair-do, and unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your view) her hair is wavy but not curly … Continue reading →
