Hello. It has been a very long time since I posted pictures of the kids and what has been going on. I uploaded pictures from 2023, but did not include any descriptions. Please feel free to take a look at them at your leisure. -Alisha

Well, today we wrap up high school. It just so happens that I write this post on the last day of school. Demario already finished his high school credits so he was finished a few months ago. He was ready to be done with school and could not wait for that final bell to chime. Jade on the other hand, it is a bittersweet moment. She will, of course stay in touch with her friends (as it so much easier to do these day than it was when we were her age), but it will still be a change of pace.

This week the high school had a special award ceremony for the seniors to celebrate the hard work they have accomplished this past year. I am going to show you her awards here and a picture. I will have more pictures later when I have them organized. Those take a little more time but always worth the wait. -Alisha

Jade’s tennis season is now officially over. It was so much fun to watch her play. She won so many matches and games while losing only a couple. We were there to cheer her on through her home games and her away games. We were there to give her high-fives when she won her singles and doubles matches and wipe away the tears when she did not win the games she tried to so hard to win. She was Varsity 1 on the team this year meaning she played the best player on every team. She was the team captain as well. We are so proud of her and look forward to watching her continue to enjoy the sport at much as she can while at University of Arizona. -Alisha
