Happy Mother's Day

Hi everyone. It's been awhile since I posted and I'm sorry for that. Life has been pretty busy

for us lately. We are doing some home improvements so we can put the house on the market.

Vince is working on the kitchen cabinets and Nicolas and I are painting the kitchen.

Well, I should say that Nicolas is painting the kitchen but I help when I can. We still have more

to go but it is a good start.

About the jerk that tried to break-in, he is 15 yrs old and lives with his aunt and uncle. His parents didn't want him anymore. He isn't suppose to be in South Milwaukee for reasons unknown to us. He has

left me alone now, but he was harassing me at Nicolas's school for a time. It got so bad that I was

scared to death to walk down to pick up Nicolas from school. My biggest fear was that he would tried to shoot me on the playground or hurt Nicolas in some way. One good thing through, we finally replaced our back door. It's a steel door with no windows. Now I can walk up the stairs without seeing his face looking back at me. That's a relief!!!!

We have some very exciting news to share with you. Nicolas is back swimming again. He had a meet

on April 30th and he did outstanding!!!

He swam the following:

. IM 100yards 2.24 which he took 1st place.

. Freestyle 25 yards 22.07 and took 1st place.

. Butterfly 25 yards 31.426 and he took 1st place.

. Backstroke 25 yards 28.41 and took 2nd place.

But even more exciting news is that Nicolas has set 2 new team records. They are....

. Butterfly 25 yards, 26.7. Backstroke 25 yards, 28.41

We are over the moon with happiness and amazement. He loves to swim and loves being on this team. He is

lost during down time. Honestly, so are we. It's so much fun going to meets and cheering on the kids.

It's great to see the confidence and pride they have for themselves. I know the first picture is somewhat blurring but I got him in midstream. He is swimming the Butterfly stroke.

We hope that everyone had a good Easter and are enjoying the sometimes warm weather.

Until next time, take care and lot's of love!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!!
