Going to see the Gophers!

Can you see how happy this kid is?

First Day of School!

Ah yes, finally the first day of school! Girls were excited to get back and Carson was a tad nervous about school. He was very quiet this morning amid the school hubbub. Of course Mommy cried like a baby after dropping off , and he had a blast! The girls are old vets at the school thing. Both had successful days as well! I had a good day too- a nice class myself! Although I am struggling to keep my eyes open as we speak! Here's to another great year at HES!

Sad News for Hinckley

There are no words to say. Just not fair that this happened to a delightful little girl.

My mother made it look so easy.....

Several times a day I self reflect on myself as a mom, wife, teacher, daughter,sister and friend. Did I make sure I tell my kids I love them today? Did I kiss them goodbye? Was I too hard? Not hard enough? Did I forget some one's birthday? Did I give enough positive reinforcement?  Every once in awhile I get a little gift that says everything is fine. Sophia is headed off to camp tomorrow and she just gave me a note that says " Mom, I will miss you when I am at camp. Here is a gift for you" and wrapped in tissue was one of her beloved wrist bands! She says" you can use it on the treadmill to wipe your head." Of course I teared up- how sweet to give your mom something so important to you! And then I head down the hall to see Joey building a train track for Carson to play! ( a big achievement because these two fight constantly!) I'm sure I've jinxed myself and I'll be ready to scream this afternoon. But it's worth mentioning.
