OK, time does fly

well, here we are again at hooligan central :o). It's been awhile since I updated this, but necessity has intervened....it's a good place to put a picture for those to see who aren't necessarily on facebook. So this is for you Welty Clan :o). Look how big my kids are! We had a wonderful but interesting year last year, with Cami graduating from high school, Kendra transferring to CSUN, and Ben starting high school. Throw in my mom being diagnosed with ovarian cancer, lots of theater rehearsals and performances, lots of martial arts, lots of homeschooling, lots of Boy Scouts..... the hooligans have been BUSY!! Fast forward to now: We just jumped back into school with Ben. Cami and Kendra are on winter break and will start college again end of January. Kendra is studying Mechanical Engineering at CSUN and loves being in roomfuls of geeks just like herself (lovely gracious geeks, in case she reads this ;o) ). Cami is looking towards majoring in something artsy/fashion designy....yes, my girl hooligans are totally different animals. Totally. Anyway. Ben is my quirky guy in 9th grade, hates schoolWORK, loves yugioh competitions, and is a wonderful musician, actor, and all around instigator. He also likes boyscouts and Taekwondo. But not school. Life is still not, nor has ever been, dull around our house. We also have 4 well loved rodent type animals in residence. 2 guinea pigs, and 2 big fat brown rats that are Kendra's babies. Here is a bigger version of the sidebar pic that I just updated.
