FROM ANNA (this is about her high school yearbook)-she was the Editor in Chief:
Best news I could have received today, gold

I'm so happy that all of our hard work paid off and I can now say that
my senior year of high school was the best year ever!! SOOO HAPPY!
This is the final gift that Anna left to Flanagan High School, also so excited and deserving praise is Flanagan' yearbook Managing Editor, Katrina Fins. Couldn't be more proud!

We LOVE Bill!
Anna woke up at 5:00 a.m. to go to a Obama/Clinton Rally on her campus. Obama was a no-show as he was on his way to FEMA or to help with the Superstorm (as he should be). It was freezing cold in Anna's mind-about 50 degrees. She was pretty close and got some great pictures, she is going to send me others from people around her who took pictures as well. A great moment in Anna's life. Also a credit that Obama got his priorities straight. I usually get a email or two every day for campaign contributions, todays' email had a link to the Red Cross.

Jia's Happy Days
Jia has had a busy time lately. She has been having "Spirit Days" at her school. I didn't get all the shots, but I have posted some. Monday was superhero day, Katie and I just happened to be in Target when we got a frantic call from Drew telling us that the next day was Superhero day (one of the bad things about this school is that they don't give you much warning for the things the kids have to bring in/do, on the plus side, I'm shopping for one instead of two this time) Katie and I ventured into the boys section and found an Avengers shirt (I don't even know who they are so good thing Katie was with me (side note Jia woke me up the next morning wearing the Avengers shirt and said Mom, this isn't a boy shirt is it? Now I hate to lie to my children-but it was 6:00 a.m. I was asleep, so I said "no sweetie, its a girls shirt, because we all know that boys are icky. lol. Next day was wear red day, we captured that on camera. After that it was favorite team day--Jisa has many Gators shirts, two UCF shirts, and she decides to wear her Miami Heat Jersey. Her after care had a Halloween party so she had a quick change into a pumpkin shirt. Tomorrow is school uniform day. They have a policy for uniforms, but we have always put in a waiver for exemption. We do have one uniform that Jia will be wearing tomorrow.
The rest of the pictures are of Jia's trip to the pumpkin patch. She needed one for science tomorrow. Got to love that kid though--the class is having a party and the teacher said put your hand up for what you want to bring, Jia got her hand up there for napkins!!!!!! Katie would always raise her hand for brownies, homemade candy and gifts for everyone in the class.
Katie and I will be traveling to the polls tomorrow for early voting. Both girls are angry that they are missing their opportunity to vote in this election. BUT BOY DOES ANNA HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY! CHECK OUT FACEBOOK!

COOKING WITH KATIE!
Katie has taken a great interest in cooking wonderful, elaborate dinners. Jia loves being her sous chef and I am thrilled as cooking is not my thing. I also have some pictures here for Anna. They are of me in a UCF shirt with her dog Lola. It was VERY, VERY hard to go into the public without a UF shirt.

Message from Anna
Guess these guys didn't know that Anna was a soccer beast for 12 years. She beat them all. This was at 3:30 a.m. For some reason almost everyone on the floor left last weekend including Anna's roomate so Anna was having a sports weekend with the guys.
