The Kiss

Spring Forward

Spring Break has come and gone - and so have Grandma and Yuyu. It was a great two weeks - zoo, a trip to DC and great times with family. AND Bobby's first lost tooth and Tim standing alone! I have attached a few highlights.

Spring Show

Bobby has the most fabulous teacher - Ms. Andrea. She is the teacher that I wish every child and parent could experience. Loving, funny, warm and innovative - Bobby loves her and has blossomed in her class. Here is a video of part of an impromptu performance the kids did at pick-up time the Thursday before Spring Break.

Crawling!!!

Tim started crawling on February 8th but was very proficient by the following week. These were taken Valentine's day

How Time Flies....

I realized that it had been OVER A MONTH since I have last blogged! So, so , so much has happened....here is a summary-

Week of January 31 - first full week of work, and 4 ice days :) Well, 2 ice days follow by 2 snow days. We spent the time watching movies, playing games and enjoying the time together. Though we were ready to venture out by Saturday, the time together not having to get up and go anywhere was wonderful. Tim had a bad case of croup which took us to the ER - but it doing OK.

Week of February 7 - Time turned 8 months old on February 8th and another ice day on the 9th for Bobby and I. I had winter break on February 11th. Such a tough schedule I have!

Week of February 14 - Day off for winter break and Valentine's Day!!! I helped Bobby organize his Bakugan cards and small snow globes for his classmates. After dropping off Bobby, Tim and I headed to Photography by Cupcake to get his pictures taken. Tim is not a fan of the camera and has cried through his last two sessions - but I was optimistic this time would be different. Not so much.We did manage to get some good shots though. Soccer resumed Wednesday - the Panthers did well! Tim does PlayWisely Thursday afternoons at the house. Saturday the 19th was Greenhill's Gala - I have never been to a school fundraiser quite like that - amazing. Sundays brings baseball - Lil Sluggers - for Bobby. Dinner with the Hirsh's and Mimi - it had been too long.

Week of February 21- First full week at work for me - with an overnight trip to DC to meet alumni there. Very short and sweet - and I never spent a full day without seeing the boys. Da Vinci gala on Saturday the 26th - and the end of school fundraisers for us this year. Girls lunch for me after baseball on Sunday - loved seeing friends.

Week of February 28 - Second full week of work for me. Bobby got croup this week - yuck! no ER visit but a day at home from school.

Rob continues to do well at work. He got accolades at a board meeting which was exciting. Tim is a crawling machine - he is quick! I had the house baby proofed on the 15th so we were ready for it. Bobby is studying the rainforest and environment at school. He takes the subject VERY seriously - he has lectured me about shaking my hands after washing them, giving he and Tim a bath and exactly how much we recycle. So far, I think Rob and I are passing his scrutiny. I enjoy watching him take these lessons to heart. He loves soccer and baseball an we are enjoying watching him. As for me - I love my job. Greenhill is a very special and unique place and I feel very at home there. The people are incredibly diverse but still maintain a very "family-like" feeling. They foster the feeling of acceptance to be yourself. I especially enjoy being around children each and every day. The classes are always doing special projects the the administration and faculty are invited to participate. This week, the first graders hosted a soul food cafe. :) I was seated and served by the students. They had designed the menus, invitations, placemats - everything - and made all the food. I was really impressed by what they had done to prepare for the day but also that they knew the history behind "soul food" and why it was important to know about it.

I promise to post pictures this weekend - and write again before too long!
