So! Summer is coming to a close and school season is here. Deuce starts kindergarten, Simaima is in pre-K, and Will is awaiting to see if he is accepted in the head start program this year. I am so excited to watch my kids grow up and get into so many different things. I am also starting my fall semester and I am stressed that this is going to be a long School year. But this summer we celebrated birthdays and lost some love ones...
Desmond has his 2nd birthday. I cant believe how big my little dude has gotten. He truly means so much to me. He may not be my own blood son but he sure holds a big piece of my heart!
Then there was Richs 29th birthday. We celebrated by cake and ice cream.
Our very close family friend had a birthday closely to follow that. She has been a part of my family's life for several years now.
The very next day was my father in laws birthday. He has been a very supporting father to me and grandfather to my children. I do not know where I would be today without all of his help.
We still have Simaima and Melia's birthday coming up. Amongst the great celebrations of life I have lost one of the most important women in my life; my grandma Tilini. She passed away after a stroke in Pennsylvania. My grandma has taught me so much that I have carried throughout and my life and will continue to pass on to my children. And as usual she brought together our family once again at her funeral. Ofa Lahi Atu grandma.
I wonder what the fall season will bring. Whatever it is I know it will be a great rest of the year.
So today my oldest started his first day of Kindergarten! It is so crazy how much time flies by. I remember when he was first born....After being in labor for 18hours I had given birth to a blonde haired blue eyed Polynesian baby! I thought that Deuce going to Pre-K was bad, but it hit me. He is starting grade school now...Only 11more years and he is off to college
