Homecoming - Part 1

Angela and her friend George Iliopoulos at Addison Trails' Homecoming.

We celebrated Yiayia Pope's 81st birthday with a lovely dinner at Opa's Greek Taverna. The highlight of the evening was, of course, the bellydancer who entertained us all. The kids were a little embarrassed by the whole thing, with one of them (who shall remain nameless :) running to the washrooms till the show was over! My girls were horrified that their father would tip the girl. It was quite a riot. We all had a good laugh and plenty of good Greek food!

Our entertainment for the evening, she put on a good show!

Moving In Day

(I am on a roll, haven't posted for awhile but I will put everything up tonight! )

Cali is back at DePaul as of today and has an awesome apartment!
3 Living Rooms, 3 Bedrooms, Kitchen, Bathroom and Back Porch!
It's very cool and all 4 girls just love all the room they have to spread out.

I have a feeling Cali won't be coming home much this semester!

Watch out Mrs. Floyd, here comes Maria, the big 2nd grader! The school year started with lots of sunshine and smiles last week. Everyone was glad to see their friends and all the moms were glad to get into a routine again.
Have a blessed school year everyone!
