                                           Summer Vacation has started and I turned 40.

 I was never one for worrying about getting older but I must admit that this milestone did set me back a little. Sure do I wish I could get rid of the last of my pooch that I got from having Eva and yes I'm getting more and more white hairs, but over all I feel good about myself.

As far as my life, family and well being I feel fortunate to have experienced the thing that I have so far because it has gotten to where I am. It is place is a place of happiness and fullness that can not be put into words.

Next school year I will be the new high school director at West Springfield HS. I am very excited to be with many former students and excited about the potential with all these kids.
On the family front Eva is growing more and more these days and and trying her hardest to talk. In her mind she is and once in awhile the words do come out clearly, like "Mine, More, and Cheese(posing for the camera). Ella is developing into a young girl and we have our moments our tantrums but in general she is a great little girl. She will be starting a new school where she got into the Spanish immersion program. She is very excited that she will learn the Spanish and talk to the grand folks.
                                                 
Here's to the long days of summer

How I knew

How did I know that my husband was the one for me? I sometimes have a hard time explaining this, but for me it cam down to having a sense that I was going to be alright in my life. Being with Chris gave me confidence. I cam across this quote that sums up how I knew he was the one for me.   “Someday you’ll find the right person, and you’ll learn to have a lot more confidence in yourself. That’s what I think. So don’t settle for anything less. In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It’s important to combine the two in just the right amount.” -  Haruki Murakami 

Morning thoughts

I love them Spring is coming, so they say. Yesterday after school we were able to enjoy the creek and playground till it was dinner time. The joys of being able to make the day pass while being outdoors. I can't wait. This morning Eva got a little outdoor time before the rain came,  and Ella hummed along to some Neill Young. Then puzzle mania ensued. I was reading this blog, Manger  and she wrote the following: "While our kids are still small, our lives young, our dogs so splendid, our journey is just beginning!" It reminded me so much of my husband because whenever I say "Things are great."  He always chimes in that the best is still yet to come. I wonder what's to come?

Lazy Fall Days

This weekend the girls and I had a great weekend. It was a beautiful fall day in Virginia. We ventured out to the pumpkin patch near the house with cousin Veia and had a great time sliding down the slides and picking out our pumpkins. I knew I wanted to do something outdoorsy with the girls on Sunday but I couldn't decide between visiting an apple orchard, hiking the Shenandoah or checking out Frying Pan Park. Ultimately, I decided to pull out Ella's bike out while Eva was sleeping and to my delight she finally discovered the joys of riding a bike. She was on it all day, it was great. We decided to talk a walk in our own backyard. We have a great park system with wonderful trails. I'm so glad I decided to not get in my car. Ella got on her Skut and I put Eva in the backpack and we walked to an open field, I pulled chocolate chip cookies and that's when Ella asked me if I wanted to daydream with her. Which meant looking at the...
