The Grandkids (-1)!

We had a "Steak and Cake" at Dad and Sue's to welcome Tiff, and wish me a happy 38th.  Yes, I'm turning 38.  I can still beat you, George! Here are the Hokanson/Yasuhiro Grands, minus Matt. Poor JB is outnumbered. That's Camryn, JB, Mia, Tiff, and Kaiya.  Such beautiful, sweet babies.  All of them!

Tiff's here!

We've been enjoying having Tiff home. We've played soccer and had the traditional steak and cake celebration. It's nice to have her here for my birthday for once. She has missed it the last four years playing soccer in Japan for high school.

More pictures to come!

Hi ho, hi ho...

It's off to work we go since we've gone back to monthly payments for a new whip.  This baby has "soccer mom" written all over it, and I'm proud.

Echo, echo, echo...

Hello, hello! Yes, we are alive. I have just been really, really busy. I don't even think I've taken many pictures since the last post, and John's got the camera in Korea, so I don't know when the next set will come.

Let's see. John's in Korea for a month and 1/2 to do military type stuff. I have coached another season of middle school soccer at St. John's. Once again I had a fabulous group of girls, and we fared well. Mia turned four, and I don't have pictures since I don't have the camera (boooooo!!!), and JB's about to turn 9. Holy smokes, these kids are aging me!

I can't believe another school year is closing up. We're already planning on Tiff's home visit, and I have Mia scheduled to be tested for a PRE-Gate program. 1/2 the test is leaving my side and going alone with the teacher to be tested. I think that will be the toughest part for Mia. As we all know, her nickname at daycare is "New Student" because even though she's been at that daycare since 8 months of age, she still pitches a fit at least 4x a week when I drop her off in the morning. If we can get her in the door, I think she's got 1/2 a chance of getting into PRE-Gate for the next school year. The nice thing is they have a class next school year at MU Lujan so her and JB will be together, and the class is a regular 8am-2pm class. This would be a huge score for everyone. No more paying an arm and a leg for daycare, and Mia, who's pretty bright, will have a full day of challenging activities, which she really enjoys.

We're doing alright. With the last day of coaching being yesterday, today is the first day back to our relatively stress-free schedule. We need this while John's away, or else I will have no hair by the time he gets back from me pulling it all out.

I hope you all are well. We love and miss you all so much. I hope the weather gets warmer so you can get out and get back to your outdoor activities.

Love,
Team Camacho
