Smack in the middle of Spring Break. I've dedicated myself to making sure the kids have fun things to do, can connect with their friends--old and new, and have a relaxing week with little pressure. They really need that.
Today I am rolling around the minivan, picking up all of Mayan's closest friends to take them to an amusement park and roller rink. I'll admit I'm a little nervous to be in charge of a carload of 9-11 year-olds, plus George. I haven't even met all of her friends, but I know how important it is for her to form these bonds outside of school and for me to get to know these kids that she spends time with. Send me strength!
Sadly, after one gorgeous day of blue sky and warm temps, we are back to overcast, winds and periodic rain. Damn!
My brother contacted us yesterday, and they are coming through town on their way to the coast tomorrow. I am really looking forward to hosting them for one night. The last time we did that was for Dad's retirement party in September, and we had so much fun staying up late chatting and drinking wine. Blake will also take Meshem along to band practice that evening, for some musician time. I love that they have that connection.
Xoxo
