Weekend Happenings

Friday, March 28th: So grateful for my best friend, Heather, for watching Maya and Brooke for the evening. She introduced them to the game of Mastermind and had some great girl time with them.

Saturday, March 29th: Today, my dear daughter Maya turned 10! She is such an amazing, strong, intelligent, and beautiful girl. We had a big Harry Potter themed party.....most of which she planned. She dressed as Hermione. Brooke dressed as Ginny Weasley and I dressed as Bellatrix. So much fun!!

Sunday, March 30th: Today, we watched Brooke play her last indoor soccer game of the season. Tony is her coach and I don't know who has a better time! I love watching her play and watching him have so much fun coaching 6 and 7 year old girls.  :)

So grateful for a peaceful meeting at work........now onto new possibilities!

Catching Up!!

Sunday, March 23rd:  I am so excited because my writing group told me that I was on the right track with the piece of writing that I shared with them today. I shared with them a piece that I wrote about my first experience at a fertility clinic. I called it "The Hostile Uterus".....the diagnosis given to us by the fertility doctor.

Monday, March 24th: Tonight I am grateful for the listening of good friends.

Tuesday, March 25th: I am so grateful to have a husband who is working so hard to support our family.

Wednesday, March 26th: Tonight I attended a meeting of like minded women. I am so excited about the future!

Enjoying the warm weather

Today the weather was in the 60's, a much needed break from all the cold. While we started off the day at an indoor pool (Brooke's swimming lessons) and in an acupuncture office (first community acupuncture visit for Tony), we ended the day with a run (me) and some soccer (Tony and the girls). Lots of new life and new opportunities arising from the darkness that this winter has brought. Looking forward to watching it all develop!

Kid President----Message to Babies on Their First Day of Life/Maya's First Production

Message to Babies on Their First Day of Life

I love listening to this kid! He is simply brilliant. I aspire to bring as much joy as he brings each moment!

On another note, I am so very proud of Maya for her first acting performance outside of school. She was part of an ensemble that sang a few songs from Peter Pan. A big thanks to my mom and step-father for coming to see her!! Another proud mama moment!

I LOVE that spring is here and I love that when I asked the question, many of my first and second grade students knew that it was the first day of spring and that it was called the Vernal Equinox!

I am so grateful to be teaching with a young woman who is hard working, creative, and kind. She is an inspiration and a god send!
