I still have yet to post the pics of Helena at her CSL Graduation/Dinner. Her speech was wonderful 'I know your thinking' I say that cuz I'm her mom but she talked about the lessons she learned and how people really are brought together from different backrounds through the program....BrAvO Helena, BrAvO!!! I admit it I almost cried. So sentimental I know I blame my hormones cuz I'm pregnant, LOL The 2nd hilight of the nite was when they did a drawing and they picked her name she won a "drumroll" "drumroll"

IPOD Shuffle the lil bitty orange one,
She already has an IPOD Nano the turquoise colored one. She was in the bathroom w/my ds when they drew her name so we decided we'd applause when she walked in, she was red and said why are people clapping? I said why do you think? She says cuz I won something, LOL Yup! We had a great night and the food was delicious and she got to take home a poster of her and some kids from the program. Yay

Ok for some Creative Team duties, I did the following layout for Scrapbook-Elements duties, I honestly love this Kit by Misty Cato and the Glitter Pack just RaWkS!!!

I scrapped about some thoughts my dh always shares with me when it comes to our kids being born here in the USA and not in El Salvador where he's from, the advantages and the dreams he has completed for them and himself. K enough here's the layout...... TFL

I dropped em off at home and picked up Charlie for her hair cut we did that went home took a shower and got ready for her Graduation Ceremony, yup she passed on to High School from the 8th grade and we made her wear a dress she was so not happy but hey she only graduates from the 8th grade once.
