Moving on...

The Whittle's are moving on to greener (colder) pastures! They are now comfortably settled in Utah where they own some horse property. Here's how things looked back in Mission Viejo on moving day; the place for pool parties, ALIEN games, reunions, etc.

Video of Graduate

It's hard to see clearly, but at some point in the cheering and waving (mostly me), you can see Annie wave to us after she passes the cameraman, and again just before the camera goes to her going up the stairs. I was so intent later on, on her name being read and her receiving the diploma that I forgot to video her getting them!!! Oh well, maybe there's a way to get a copy of it from the school? Can you tell we're proud of her???

Graduated!

On Friday May 23rd Anne Whittle got her diploma and walked the graduate line! We're so proud of her example and excellence in education.

Happy 10th Natalie!

Can you believe Miss Natalie is 10 year old? Neither can we! She is such a beautiful young lady now, and so responsible! Here she is on her birthday celebrating (with scarf's and hats for required attire), at the China Buffet. It just so happened to be Chinese New Year, so this is very appropriate. Happy Year of the Rat!

Happy Birthday Natalie!!!

Sisters? nope, BEST friends

Together through thick and thin...no one could be a better friend. I feel lucky to have learned so many life lessons with you along the way. You have the patience of Job, unlimited love for everyone your protective heart gather's close, and full of the spunk that one needs when opposing rivals (evil eyes can kill...don't get on our bad side)! I love you Annie. (posted by Linda)
