YAY FOR WILSON!!!!!Thanks Holly and Marilyn too. I slept way in today. Got up at 12:30pm. The phone was ringing all morning with good news but I was sleeping....
Wilson qualified 2nd and kept 2nd at his heat race.
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!HE DID IT!!!!!
WILSON TOOK 2nd PLACE!!!!!
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD DAY FOR HIM.
I wish I was there to give him a big hug!!!!
I get to see them in about 3 hours, I think we might make a celebration for him to come home to.
This is the best place he has had in the IKF series. This is the race series that we travel all around Northern Ca for. WOW, such a great day, I'm so proud of him
TOO COOL!! Love his expressions
Well, I haven't talked to mom or dad, but I know they liked it because they've been before and loved it, and I talked to both kids at karate on Tuesday and they had a blast (it was their first time)!
Hi Jan, how are you tonight? It looks like you're catching up to reading and posting.
I'll have to check it out at work on Tuesday or if I have a chance to get to a friend's house tomorrow. youtube clips don't play on my computer (popped over to a friend's house earlier today to see your egreeting).
Jan likes to remind us what drivel we came up with a day or so ago!!!
Yup, she talks even then. 
You did NOT just say that!
(or so I hear... )
Wow, that's very cute!I tried to find Gaylean's My Space page that she keeps talking about. Went to My Space and did a search. That brought up a GOOGLE list including this:
http://articles.latimes.com/2004/may/30/travel/tr-cayucos30
she's famous!
Jan
Ian, Monica wants to "google earth" you and spy on you.
And then she'll show up at your door one day and suprise you and Sukie!
HI!!!!!! 
NO, Jan is 30 pages behind!
This reminds me of when I was in labor for DS#1. When I had a contraction I would relax totally like a rag doll and those around me would keep on talking. When the contraction was over I had to get my comments in on all the things they had said in those minutes.
Jan
Very pretty! When looking at the pictures, it feels like we were just there last week.
Miraflores Locks tonight at sunset.

That's really crappy. Especially for people who've never been and would have no way of knowing where they might want to eat in advance.
And I know Tyler wouldn't handle it well for at least a couple more years. Not sure how I'll convince his dad of that though. When I mentioned the idea to Tyler, he said, "You mean 2 weeks without mom? No way, are you crazy?"Our older son Tom was first away from our family when he was a Senior in high School--17 years old for a week at Boy Scout camp with his Troop.
Our younger son Ted was 14 when he had his first sleep-over at a friend's house for a couple nights when we went to PA for Tom's Lasik surgery. That spring he was gone for a week on a mission trip to Dominican Republic with friends from his school.
I think you have to know your kid and do what is right for HIM or HER. There is no RULE OF THUMB here. It takes Parental Detective Work.
Jan
I assured him he doesn't have to, and that I was just mentioning it because his dad was telling me how he went as a kid. Then he said, "Oh, well if my dad did it, I'll do it." But I think that's just him trying to please his dad.
Exactly!
But knowing how much he loves camping, I can't imagine he wouldn't want to after he's used to the place.
