whirlwind days!


Mairin's recital, 4th of July and work, work, work!
Oh, and then Michael Jackson died! Seemed to take over all of the network news.
Strange to know that my sister, Karrie, went to his dermatologist, Dr. Klien, and also knew Debi Rowe, the incubator of Michael Jackson's first 2 kids. Just another day in the office of a Bev. Hills dermatologist! Now everyone believes that the Dr. was the bio dad! I got side-tracked..sorry
Mairin's recital was fantastic. Can't believe that she will be a senior next year.
We are now focusing on her college plans. She and I will be here together, Sonny will be moving out, starting his new job and getting his first apartment.
Colin will be heading off to college. He is so excited. But he did say that graduating from HS the same year that his older brother graduates from Harvard really sucks! OK,,,OK.. I am doing a re-enactment of his cap and gown photo,,,in order to do a graduation announcement.
Sonny and Colin are now back in NY at Uncle Michael's country house. Sonny's roommates are there too. Today they went kayaking..and went off a waterfall...not planned. Made it through. Tomorrow they are all going sky-diving. I am so scared. I am so fearful of heights myself. It makes me sick to think of them doing this. Sonny did it on his 18th bday. I put my head in the sand. Last summer Sonny wanted to take Colin out for his 18th, but I said no, since Colin still had another year left of lacrosse. I am saying my prayers tonight! Here is a really cute picture of Mairin and her big bro celebrating his 22nd. I am so blessed that my kids all get along so well.

Colin's graduation photos




Here are a few photos of Colin's graduation from Mission Viejo HS. We are so proud of his many accomplishments during his four years. He heads off to Cal St. San Marcos in the fall.
