We moved Sabrina and Lindsay to a Montessori school in Carson this year. It has been a bit of an adjustment. When I picked them up from school on the first day, they both said it was horrible. I told them to give it a week. When I picked Lindsay up on the second day of school, she saw me and started crying. She didn't want to talk about what was wrong in front of everyone, so when we were home she told me she got in trouble for talking. This was the note she wrote. Lindsay had never been in trouble before, so she was devastated.
Sabrina is starting to build a robot tomorrow and she is very excited about that. Now that it has been a few weeks, they have settled into a routine and are liking school more.


Nicholas started preschool! He already knows some of the kids in his class and the teachers, so it ended up being more traumatic for me than him. As excited as I was for him to go, I was a little teary eyed when I left. I have been dreaming of all the things I could get done while all of the kids are gone. The first day I took him to preschool, went to exercise, went back home to take a shower, and then it was time to pick him up. I decided that was a waste of my alone time, so I am now getting up at 5:30 to go and exercise before school. I didn't think I would ever be capable of rising so early, but so far, it is working. If I can continue this schedule, I may be able to keep my house clean.

I'm sorry you got in trouble Sabrina but it happens to everyone. I know I had my fair share. I am glad you are adjusting though. Happy school days.

Springtime with Grandma L.

We were so happy to have Grandma come and visit this Spring.  Even more exciting was that she was able to stay for Easter!!!  I love having family visit for holidays! Some of the thing we did during her short stay: We went to the International Festival at the kids school where we ate food from many different countries.  It was delicious.  The girls decided to stay at the festival while we took Nicholas to the Embassy Easter Egg hunt in the snow. Although it doesn't look cold, I lost feeling in my extremities.  It was freezing.  Because of the weather a lot fewer people showed up than expected so the amount of eggs to collect rose from the original amount of 12 to however many could fit in the basket. We visited Keukenhoff in Holland to see the beautiful flowers.  While we did see beautiful flowers, most of them were indoors as it has been a very cold spring.   Flower Fashion Outside the crocus' were blooming and the...

Making dreams come true...

...one tree at a time. Poor little trees. You know the ones. Not quite pretty enough for the cherished Christmas tree. Standing all alone in the forest. Or maybe not standing alone, but so close to the perfect tree next to them that only one side is presentable. Wishing, hoping, wanting for someone to come along who recognizes them for what they are on the inside. Who cares that the branches are too scrawny to hold lights up? We try to help the less glamorous trees every year. It makes them feel good. And this year's tree was perfect for the kids to decorate all by themselves. I helped by picking out the lightest ornaments so the tree would not topple over. I know you're all jealous. It makes a great conversation piece and causes laughter for all who come to our house. If you would like a house full of jolly company next year, think of the trees. Make one happy. You can even keep most of the decorations in the box.

Temple Trip

Lindsay went to the temple for the first time and since the temple closest to us is in The Netherlands and we would be gone for a long time we took the little guy with us.  I miss the days when I had family and friends willing to take an extra kid for the day but he was a champ and waited in the waiting room by himself for hours.  It won't be long before he's old enough to go inside with us.  They grow up so fast.
