Well today I am so proud to say I am the mom of a 12 year old! Antonio celebrated his 12th Birthday on Monday and he got some great news in the mail the same day! His 6th grade report card: ALL A's. We are so proud of him!! Tonight he packs up and will be going on his first missions trip. They junior high group are doing a local mission trip to help out our church families who need yard work and house work done, so he will be gone until this Saturday.

This morning was Bella's first day at her new Pre-School. She was so excited. She is definitely ready for the interaction and the structure of the lessons and teachings. It's a private preschool and daycare on site. It's owned and ran by a family in our church, so we are really excited for this new step for Bella.

Happy Canada day to all my fellow Canadians!
