I discovered this on the American Express website while looking at membership rewards.  I kid you not.... for 14 million points you can get a Lotus.  Screw the flights, I'm going for the sports car.

Great Wall Of China

This week I walked the Great Wall Of China with my daughter.  I don't think I have ever seen her happier - and at that very moment it was one of the the happiest times in my life too.

Loved.....

Sixteen years ago next week, I gave birth to this sweet thing.  She is my eldest.  Nothing in my lifetime prepared me for the depth of love I feel for her.  I remember seeing this face for the first time like it was yesterday.  I guess as a mother you never forget those moments.  She has been such a gift to us and I could not be prouder of the beautiful young woman she has grown into, both physically and spiritually.  Tomorrow we shall drag our backpacks to the airport - our target is Beijing, but due to circumstances we may land in Paris.  Either way I don't care, I'm just happy that she is mine and blessed to have her by my side.  Always.  Sweet 16 Princess.

Bobo On Ice

Mr. Bobo is playing ice hockey for the first time.  He is embracing it, which is somewhat surprising since he doesn't really like organized sports.  It is so much fun to watch him.  I did not go to today's game as I had to see a pesky client.  He called me on my cell on the way home and was pretty much hyperventalating.... he got his FIRST GOAL.  Not the take away from the assist he also got moments earlier.  It was pretty exciting.  Um, he also went to school this week (spirit week) on sports day dressed as a ballerina.... and no, he did not get beat up.
