We are off to a busy start to September here in our houseful of 3 children, one husband (thank goodness), a wife and of course Stella Bella. Both Parisa and Noah have been playing some tennis with Dad. Branden is determined to play too. He has an unbelievable drive and is very persistent. Parisa is also taking Ballet and Tap lessons once a week. 

The big news this month is Farzad is turning "40" on September 29th. But SHHHHH he does not want a big fuss. Well good luck because I am going to fuss. You are only over the hill once and it is all down hill from that point on. 

Thanks for taking a look at the good ol family blog. I will try and do better at keeping it up to date. I am going to commit to updating it once a week. See you then.

Wow. This month has gone too fast. We started off the month with a weekend at Guntersville State Park in Alabama. We gathered with several Pyburns for a family reunion. It was great to catch up but the time was so short. 

Since then we have been taking each day at  a time. Trying to help Branden understand that we pee and poop in the potty. 

Parisa and Noah start school next month and we are all looking forward to that transition. Noah is really looking forward to being a kindergartener this year...OPPs I was never good at spelling.  Branden will be going to pre-school/mothers day out in Sept for 2 days a week. What will I do? Well there is much left undone in my world. 

Pre-School to Prep School

Noah has graduated from Mustardseed Preschool and is now getting ready to begin his first year in elementary school at Trinity Elementary. Wow...we are proud of Noah. He has such a bright smile and a loving heart. This year has been the year that Noah found his voice. Well, with Parisa at school 5 days a week it gave Noah a little more time to get his thoughts out. I love your thoughts No-Bo. 

Locks of Love

LOCKS OF LOVE!!!!

Parisa had her very long, beautiful hair cut and donated the 10+ inches to the locks of Love foundation. I am so proud of her. 


The year has come to an end at Trinity Elementary for Parisa. Hard to believe the 2007-2008 school year is finished. Parisa was blessed with a great Kindergarten teacher. Her name is Mrs. Tracy Eckert and we adore her. These photos were taken at the Kindergarten Celebration and the entire class wore these great shades. Parisa has had a great year and we are so proud of her. She is now reading, writing, doing math, and telling us all how to do everything! She took gymnastics this year and really enjoyed it. 

WOW....These little legs are growing soooo fast. It has been some time since I have updated my blog. I was blessed to get a new computer and it is the imac. It has taken me some time to get all my photos transfered over but I think they are all in one spot now. Next, I have to get my music and I will be set. 

My Baby Branden has just turned 2 years old. He is eatting at the table, riding his trike and doing whatever it takes to keep up with the older siblings. I am so proud of him. What a little blessing he is. 

For those who I have not had time to catch up with recently this has been a wonderful Easter. Two weeks before Easter I was Baptized. I am so glad it was a decision that I made for myself. I am so blessed to have found a wonderful peace from the love of Jesus Christ. We have become members at Christ Community Church here in Franklin. What a truly wonderful family to be part of. 

Other big events going on include Parisa learning to ride her bike with no training wheels, Branden has been accepted to Pre-K or really a mothers day out program (for those of you not in this neck of the woods it is not easy to get children in programs around here), and Noah has really found his voice. With Parisa in K this year he has had more time to talk and it really has begun to show. What 3 little blessing we haved.

Farzad is busy at work at Delek US as an assistant controller. He is very busy. We see him briefly during the week and sometimes only briefly on the weekends. He would like more time for Golf and some sunshine with it. The weather here has been crazy ...cold, wet, windy and we are due for a beautiful spring. 

Ta Ta for now.
