Coming adventures!

Just wanted to take a minute to share the exciting things that are happening this week. I am so excited for the new little kiddies at Reed school. I am going to spend tomorrow working in my classroom and then I am heading to a Floortime training on Thursday! I will let you know how the Greenspan approach presents itself in Arlington. I have to admit that I am only vaguely familiar with Floortime and I am excited to learn a bit more about it (for free)!

But wait...drum please...Neal's welcome home party is this weekend. Chris and I are getting really excited. It will be a weekend filled with family, friends, golf, music, delicious food, and of course dancing and beer (it is a family tradition)! So glad that we can all get together to celebrate Neal coming home...but we will be thinking of his friends and fellow Marines that didn't make it home.

Time for a glass of wine on the porch. Good night for now.

Thinking back...

It is amazing how life changes so quickly. Chris and I were uploading old pictures onto picasa this weekend and got to looking at some of the 'ancient' ones. We forgot how much time has passed, some of many adventures we have taken together, and good times with our friends. So...for your viewing pleasure...some of the good ole days!

Welcome baby Lily

Welcome baby Lily! So excited to have the time to visit Lily, her two gorgeous sisters, Aunt Jenny, and her wonderful husband Sean in NY. Lily is so blessed to be born into such a fabulous family. Her sisters are both gorgeous, smart, and such well behaved young ladies. I am lucky to call them family! Enjoy the pictures of the newest addition to the family!

Life is the fast lane.

Life is still moving quickly. Amy and Carter headed out this afternoon. It was so much fun to have them here. To hear his deep laugh (right from the belly), and to enjoy time just chatting and walking with Amy. It is slightly strange that I remember when she was born and now she is such a lovely mother! Now time to relax for a day or two...then off on another adventure to NY to visit my new cousin Lillian! But for now...it is time to ride the bike. It and the trails are calling my name.

Greece and Summer...ahhh.

It is amazing to me how slowly life seems to move at times. And then at other times you feel like it is flying past you so quickly your fingers couldn't grasp it if you stretched out extra long. That is me right now. Well...for the past month. Really? A month? Where has the time gone? Well...I will share pictures for your viewing pleasure and my all time favorite - a bulletted list!

1. Summer Flying By

Greece Trip...I mean...Life is Good Today



Amy and Carter...





More to come of Neal's homecoming!

Life is good...so goodnight for now.

School is ALMOST finished!

Well...the year is finally coming to a close. We have a really busy week at school. Field trip tomorrow...5th grade promotion on Wednesday...followed by more school days before the end finally arrives. But when it does it will be a sweet ending...Chris and I are headed to Greece! Woohoo. We are so lucky to have a good friend house sitting for us and taking care of our two dogs. It really makes leaving easier when you know your life will be taken care of!

So...we are officially beach and Aegean Sea bound.

Happy tanning...drinking...and eating.

Once again...long time...no blog

Life is crazy. I often wonder where the time goes. The school year has flown by. TRAILS is starting session 3. I mean...really...where does life go. This month has been great. I have visited with great friends celebrating birthdays...taught fabulous children at school...enjoyed brunch with fabulous friends...and spent time with family. Life is great and exhausting! This week is going to be crazy...SOLs are quickly arriving and our bathroom needs to be finished before Chris turns 30. But on the plus side this coming weekend we will be hanging with our loyal dogs, then watching the Kentucky Derby with some great friends at their new condo...and then heading to a beer tasting with more good friends! Like I said. Life is good. Off to bed now. School and children await tomorrow.
