THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Celebrate a New School Year

Mia's school has a fun annual tradition. To kick off the school year they each get to release a balloon into the sky. It helps them remember to "soar to new heights". And it's all biodegradable. Can't beat that. The countdown....
It was amazing seeing 1200 balloons fly away. The three yellow ones (held by the principal) symbolized a yellow ribbon, to honor our service members.
