fecking awesome.

Now remind me again why you let him go up against Weltman wearing only a t-shirt and shorts when you wore long sleeves and pants against him? When it ws his first ever paintball experience? I understand that he saw the blood that weltman drew from him as a right of passage, but as a mother of a white boy transplanted from the Ukto Michigan, I'm sort of feeling i'd prefer something less violent. Just sayin'

That was last summer, but remains very cool. Both girls are making me proud with their end of year awards. Lil' Griff graduated middle school, got class high gpa in ELA, Social Studies, high achievement in Spanish, and the Presidential thingy for straight A s in a very competitive school. Lil Pete scored the Art award and kicked butt in all her classes getting high honors.
