Happy Fathers's day!

We're having a slow start today. We sent John back to bed not once but twice. We had cards, a gift and a special memory page (I'll share those later). We had a fruit, muffin, eggs brunch that we all enjoyed. Interestingly enough, Gemma devoured her eggs as fast as I could put them on her tray, but turned up her nose at the sweet peach slices. Silly girl.

Happy Father's Day everyone!

Ged graduation

It's the last week of class, which means crazy business. We had graduation on Wednesday - one of my favorite moments of the year. I'm so SO proud of the incredible hard work that went into these GEDs. I'm proud of myself as well. Not many of these were a cake walk.

By my estimation, I helped 22-25 people attain their GED credential. So many proud moments this year.

Words cannot explain how thankful
I am for this job. It isn't glamorous or high paid. There never will be. It is nitty gritty and with bare bones funding. But, the work I am doing is important. I believe in it. I can see visible fruits often labor and the positive impact of my hard work. I waited to find just the right job after William was born. To balance the home and work responsibilities. The balance isn't perfect every single day, but I am so proud of the work I do.

Ever wonder.....

Why I don't blog more? Here is a little visual....

Jam

It's strawberry jam time...mmmmm...

Soccer

The kids are signed up to play soccer once a week this summer. The last fee weeks have brought absolutely gorgeous weather to sit outside and watch soccer. Sadly, Mama has to work (grr!) and missed the first weeks. Luckily for us, daddy is a huge trooper and has wrangled our crew to make soccer happen.

From the pictures, it appears the kids run around and Gemma picks up bits from the ground. Sounds about right!

MN

Gemma loves Minnesota. See?
