Some big weekend we had- KIA had his first poetry reading at the local coffee house, and he did great- he uses a lot of water/ocean depths kind of imagery, just like me!

Soccer game for Cocoa. . .VICTORY SCREECH!!! She won, and has come a lonnnng way from the little girl who picked flowers while tending the goal last fall. . .:)
