Soccer Evaluations !!!!

Emily missed soccer in California last year due to getting here too late, so this year we made sure she was ready. She says soccer is her favorite sport, and is ready to give it a try again this year. She has a strong leg and kick, and now only needs to work on conditioning!!! Good luck this year!!! Her cousin Josh came to practice with us. I think the soccer ball is bigger than he is!!! What a cutie cousin Emily has. Watch out Emily, Josh is looking pretty good at his soccer skills.

Faberge Egg

One of our friends (Jim Grahl) has been working on this type of Faberge Egg for about the last 16-18 years, little by little. It is a replica of a carousel in San Diego, exactly, of course miniture. Same animals on the carousel, same oil painting around the outside and inside, a total of 180 which were done with one hair of a brush because it was so small. It is a musical egg as well, it plays up to 20 songs. This is one beautiful EGG masterpiece, and we got to see it before it was taken today to San Diego for Display. Awesome!!!!!
