Back to Life

June 24, 2012

Grace came home from camp and a few days with Aunt Fissa in San Diego.  Grace took no pictures at camp.  Well, I expected that when Tommy went to camp, but I thought she'd take hundreds of goofy grinning girl photos.  Not a one.  

Luckily, Fissa snapped a couple of Grace at the beach.  Grace said she had a great time at both places. She really looks relaxed with Fissa!

And it was only a mere 24 hours before the attitude returned.  This time it was the fact that somehow I managed to run out of Q-tips in the house.  Can you believe that? What kind of terrible mom has no q-tips?!  Seriously.  Although it was a minor meltdown, there was full on attitude.  Sigh.

Happy Birthday Melissa

September 4, 2010

Today is Tom's youngest sister's birthday.  Happy Birthday Fissa! I have absolutely no recent pictures of Melissa, so here is a blast from the past...about 6 years ago? Sorry Mel.

Have I already told you how fabulous she is?  And not just her family thinks so, she was Employee of the Year at USD as I mentioned  here.

We miss her lots, although she is lucky to be living in San Diego. 

Have a fun birthday Mel!

Love, 

The Halterhome  

Way to Go Melissa!

This is a long-overdue post to congratulate my sister-in-law, Melissa (aka Fissa or Mel-here with Tommy). . .

We recently learned that Melissa was selected as the University of San Diego
Employee of the Year! 

Yea Mel!!  

She is the Director of the Center for Health and Wellness Promotion (sounds very important doesn't it) .

We are super proud of her accomplishment, but not surprised.  

Congratulations!

Karen
