Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older.
When did they?
When did she get to be a beauty?
When did he grow to be this tall?
Wasn't it yesterday when they were small?
Sunrise, sunset.
Sunrise, sunset.
Swiftly fly the years.
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears.

My eldest munchkin, Jake, is a sophomore in college, who has recently abandoned studying Fire Science. He's decided there are no BIG bucks in fire fighting ... :) !!! He has turned his studies to business and computers (Computers ??? oh no, now not even mom is safe online ... LOL !!!) Jake lettered in soccer in high school and was voted MVP his senior year. Besides working and going to school, Jake had taken advantage of a government subsidy to purchase his own home (Jake was 4 weeks early and has always jumped into whatever head first). A year later, Jake's home sweet home is on the market ... he missed mom ... ROFL !!! Seriously, he's realized that a good education is not to be taken lightly, so is planning on moving back home to pursue his degree!! He has already chosen the mother of my future grandchildren (she's the sweetie in pic 3). They have been dating for 4 years and plan to marry after Jake has degree in hand and Holly graduates as a nurse practitioner. Despite my 20 years of influence, Jake has turned out mahvelous !!!

My youngest munchkin, Missy, is a junior in high school. Despite the teenage 'tude, she is my guardian angel, hair, make up and fashion consultant !!! She's an honor student and participates in four clubs at school. She lives and breathes volleyball but gave it up this year due to ligament strains and lack of commaraderie on her HS varsity team. She's acquired that, much coveted amongst her peers, piece of plastic and will be hitting the high roads, and the low roads in her '98 Cavalier. Word of advice ... you may wanna steer clear of Kansas roads for awhile *GROAN* !!! After viewing a recent movie ... can't remember the name, she's hell bent on trading the Cavalier in for a black Honda to in her words, pimp out ??? Yet, although still being under my influence, she just might make it, despite lack of black Honda ... LOL !!!

Will the REAL TOTO please bark up ???

Mini-Me Toto, Yoda !!!

So, all this time you thought Toto was a Cairn Terrier ??? Amazing what makeup can do for a miniature schnauzer (even on a bad hair day) !!! Holly was a Christmas gift from some folks I worked with. And, as you can tell, she's as excited to wake up and go to work in the morn as I am !!! We also have a Jack Russell terrier, Yoda. He was a surprise from the two munchkins ... must admit it was puppy love at first sight, which soon turned to sheer fright !!! With mere babe's teeth, this mutt was able to rip wallpaper from a bathroom wall, mangle kitchen linoleum, shred throw rugs and make any shoe a sandal !!!
