Where do I begin? This month is so full of new beginnings. I guess I will start there, at the beginning. On July 28th, my brother, Robert, and his wife, Ildiko, welcomed their son, Ashwyn Kyler, into the world.
He's so perfect and beautiful. I am filled with joy every time I look at his sweet face :)
Next Monday, my niece, Celia, will begin Kindergarten. It seems unbelievable that my adorable little baby...isn't a baby anymore, but a beautiful and well-adjusted young lady!
And, finally, the week after that, Alec will be starting college. Many of you have probably learned that Alec was headed to San Jose State University to study Computer Science...well, as sometimes happens...plans changed. Nobody panic, he'll be in school, just close to home. He enrolled in Moorpark College and will be staying at home for the next couple of years. His friend, Brian, who relocated to Irvine for the next two years, plans to finish his degree in San Jose. The two plan to move up together then and get a place, thus avoiding dorm life while still accomplishing the goal of a degree. Trust me, the decision didn't come lightly, and we are all looking forward to the new experiences that college life will bring to Alec. After being home schooled for the past five years, everything is new!
So there are many new beginnings in the Herrick/Rice, Herrick/Baas/Boyer, and Herrick households! We are so excited for the opportunities and challenges that await us and are eager to see what happens next :)
Blessed Be.
