2009 was an incredibly crazy year for La Jolla Family. Now that we’re more settled back in the good old USA, I’m hoping that 2010 will be a little easier on us. Do you make New Year’s Resolutions?

Well, it’s not quite school year’s eve for us but I know for a lot of you it is.  La Jolla Girl starts her very first day ever of preschool on September 15.  I know that a lot of you have “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year…..” floating through your heads.    Give it a few years and I probably will too! We have mixed feelings about preschool.  La Jolla Dad says he’s going to [...]
