Afterschool Sports Program:

I am a firm believer in the healing properties of negatively ionized air. Salty sea air helps reverse the damage caused by our hectic lifestyles. Therefore this is not vacationing but important therapy. The cuteness of these toes was just extra.

Hmm...messy hair, wrinkled shirt...AHH! It must be picture day at the middle school. My guess is they will make him comb it. Any bets?

Il Partito!

Pics from Ashley's 'Sweet Sixteen' at the Porto Fino Bay Hotel.

Big Birthdays!
Austin is 18. As he says it, "I'm a man now."
Ashley is sweet 16, and yes she is as sweet as she can be.

Ashley agreed to model for one of my photography classes. These are shots that I am particularly proud of. Isn't she pretty? And such a good sport. The other photographers had her in the grass, on the ground, next to fire hydrants etc. When she got to my group I told her to take her shoes off and get in the fountain. That made the smiles easy!

Kyle is back from China...translation: Boot Camp is back in session.

It was a difficult workout but Retto never gets too tired to make new friends.
