Thought it was time for an update

Well, where to begin?? It's been forever since I wrote anything on this blog. Lots happening since I last blogged.
Alise and Josh have been home for a year this month. It's great to have them home and safe. They are both attending college and working. Alise is going to graduate from CSUFresno in May. She will be studying in Hong Kong in June. I'm very excited for her. Josh is furthering his career and I wish him all the best in his endeavor.
Marise and James have been busy. On fathers day June 17, 2007 they had a precious baby boy. Clayson Curry-James Lizardo. Alexandria is a fabulous big sister and is so smart. She rules us all.
Joey is attending Hallmark Charter School and we are blessed to have Marise tutoring him. She is such a blessing. Joey is doing very well with his studies. My baby boy will be 17 next month.
Mom, Dad and I bought a house in Brentwood and will be moving in the very near future. I've been spending some time there making sure that work is being completed on schedule. I'm excited and reluctant at the same time about the move. I will miss my kids like crazy. It's only a 3 hour drive I keep telling myself. Well now, if that's not an update I don't know what is. go and visit the girls blogs from the link here on my blog. Check out my grandbabies.

Today is the day!!!

Josh and Alise will be home for dinner tonight. The best thing about it is they are here to stay. It's not just a visit. Thank you Jesus for there safe return.

My family is almost complete...

Yeah!!!

1 more week and Josh and Alise head for home. And this time for good.
I miss them greatly and can hardly wait for us to all be together.

The Fonz....

Well... the local veterinarian has spoken with two neurologist, one in Tustin and one in Fresno. The outcome is that Fonzi is to have complete kennel rest for 2 weeks. On pain meds and sedatives. Then 1 week off all meds to see if his body healed itself. If not then surgery for sure. I'll have to decide then where. Tustin or Fresno? He's doing pretty good so far on the meds. It's sad to see him like this. We are hoping for the best.

"The Fonz"

Our little Puppy Fonzi is injured... He has to go see a Neurologist in Tustin in the next few days. Say a little prayer, he's very special to Joey.

Anxiously awaiting...

I'm anxiously awaiting the homecoming of Alise and Josh! I can hardly wait...

Sooo... much better!!!

This is for you Josh. I'm so much better and if you don't want to read my whining then go to someone elses page. JK

I love you too,

Mom Lynette

Haven't updated for a couple of days due to not feeling so well. I have a horrible cold and got food poisoning on top of it. On to the good news....
