I have been really blessed. No matter where I have lived I have had good friends. These are my Laredo pals. We are all here for different reasons, some are boarder patro, other lawyers, piolets for the boarder patrol, Dentist doing residency etc. Anyway I am grateful for the church that brings a common bond for each of us and for friendships that keep me going. We have a tradition in our home. At the end of each school year Rob decorates a big cookie for our kids that says congrats and then we give them a little gift for having such a succesful school year. Chris was on the honor roll with all A's and B's. He has worked so hard. Bekah was also successful in her first year of school. This year Chris got a hair dying kit because he likes to dye his hair blonder in the summer. Bekah got some cute PJ's. Of course we couldn't leave Sam out. He got a cute shirt for being the cutest poop. They also get their homework books for the summer and their chore chart for the summer months. It is quite the ritual but something that is fun to celebrate and brings a little bit of organization to our lives during the summer months.
