Yep-So i wrote about it last year and I am writing about it again. Damn corn is high...that means...school starts, changes happen...weird weather, people get older, things happen, time passes and in a little while we will be waiting for the damn corn to get high again...grrrrrrrrrr.

Lots of changes since the corn last year... I think that we have adjusted well. Gael was born. Megan moved to Florida. Emili lost LOTS of weight! We moved. Went to Mexico. We had some family vacations. Juan got his permanent residency. Juan moved back in with us. Juan got a job, bought a car. Gael got teeth, learned to crawl and stand up. Emili lost teeth, grew 4 shoe sizes, shed more than 30 lbs, grew 2 feet, learned more Spanish. Emili is turning 9 and started 3 grade this week. Emili made it into 4th level at swim lessons and is becoming a beautiful young woman. I lost about 70 lbs!! Lots of change. .... We are adjusting well.

Here are some pics from last years corn to now. Hope that next years corn brings many changes again.........
