Starting off the new school year...
12/12/07 Well, a lot has changed since the last time I updated this. We moved and are back at Northwest Elementary. Gabriel is in Mr. Williams' third grade class and Angelica is in Mrs Franco's first grade class. They have reunited with old friends and have made new friends.
Gabriel quit soccer after the first game. Turns out, it wasn't for him. Hopefully he finds something else he likes.
8/28/07 Well, today the kids started their first day of school for this year. They were both very excited and soooo ready! Gabriel is in the 3rd grade and his teacher is Miss Lamp. Angelica is in the 1st grade and her teacher is Ms. Andon. Both their teachers seem really nice. I hope they have a great year this year.
Also, Gabriel started soccer practice yesterday. He is in the U9 league and his team is the Dragons. They play on a bigger field and have bigger goals. He was really excited to start. He is one of the new kids on the team, but he will quickly become one of the them!

Macario: "Gone But Not Forgotten"
This is in memory of my uncle. This is taken from the La Familia Banda web site that is updated by a family member.
Today is Macario’s 59th Birthday. He was born on February
28, 1948. Macario graduated from Del Valle High School in 1965. He attended barber school after graduation. Macario was drafted into the Army in 1968. He received basic training at Fort Polk in Louisiana and was assigned to the United States Army, 11th Light Infantry Brigade. In August 1968, after only six weeks of basic training, Macario was sent into combat in the jungles of Vietnam. Macario was killed by a land mine in Quang Ngai, South Vietnam on February 11, 1969 while conducting reconnaissance. Macario was 20 years old, just 17 days short of his 21st birthday. At the time of his death, Macario was engaged to be married to Linda Cancino, Augustin's sister.
The following is an excerpt from a message sent to Macario at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial website from a fellow comrade from Bowdon, Georgia in 2000.
"In same squad.wounded same time. Gone But Not Forgotten.
Banda, I have thought of you many times over the past thirty years and it all seems like yesterday. A lot has come and gone since that hot afternoon in Vietnam, but I will always remember you for your story of Bonnie @ Clyde in Texas. I was hit from the same mine that got you and most of our squad. You are a Hero and I'am proud to have known you. David Marino (MO)”

Angie and Gabe's School Days-February
2-23-07 Well, it's been over a month since I've updated this. So here ya go! Well, lets see, what has happened since last month? Well, first off, remember how back in November I mentioned that Gabriel was a Math Stars I student. Well, now he's a Math Marvels I student! He completely skipped Math Stars II! I couldn't believe it....the order is Math Stars I, Math Stars II, Math Marvels I, Math Marvels II, etc.... Also, he currently has 10-20 Accelerated Reader (AR) points...the way it works is you read a book, take a test on it and earn points, each book is worth different points.... Yesterday he got his report card. I had to call my in laws to tell him his grades. I couldn't believe my eyes! His grades are as follows: Overall Core Average-94, English Language Arts Average-92, Language Arts-92, Social Studies-91, Math-97, and Science-95. Yup, a 97 in Math! We are so proud of him! Angie hasn't gotten her report card yet, so once I receive it, I will update this!
