great to remember

"One important reason to stay calm is that calm parents hear more. Low-key, accepting parents are the ones whose children keep talking."

-Mary Pipher, author of Riving Ophelia

and as high strung as i can be some days, i need to remember this everyday. 

:O)

Vacation Time

The last day of school we headed to Palm Desert. We were there for a 5 days. It was great. Mamu & Papa, my Mom and Rick, joined us on Saturday and stayed until we left. We played games, swam, laughed, went out to eat, shopped, laughed, oh ya did I say laugh? We had a blast. We are home now and enjoying every minute of our summer days. Isabella asked me when she goes back to school, she has no concept of summer break, I love it. Sophia's last day of preschool was today. We have a little graduation/promotion tomorrow. Should be fun. 

Last Day Of School

I can remember her very first day of kindergarten. What a great day it was. She was so excited to go. Not a single care in the world other then going to school to learn and have fun. Time sure does fly. We are so proud of her. Her teacher, Miss. Meylor, gave one word describing each child in her class. When she got to Isabella

 her one word to describe her was LEADER, what a great word.

Summer is Coming

and we couldn't be more happier. We have a sick one in the house, Isabella. She is feeling better and should be back in school tomorrow. And can I tell you, not getting up and doing the routine has been so much fun! We LoVe it. Bring on SuMmErTiMe, we are ready.
