First Field Trip

Natalia had her first ever field trip in school this year. They didn't go far, just up the road to the farm to pic out their pumpkins, have a little snakc, and play some games. Its such a joy to go along these field trips and see how much fun these kids have with their teacher and how every moment becomes a learning opportunity. Natalia has the best teacher for her right now and she completely adores her. I am so thankful we were able to get her into Bethel, it has made the world of difference for her. Happy Fall!

blessed are those with friends

over the past several months our family has learned, life is not as hard as we tend to think it is. Sometimes we hold onto people for the wrong reasons when it is just better to let them go and make room for the people who really matter in life.
This being said, the kids and I have made room for some really great friends in our lives both new and old and enjoy the time we have with them more and more each time we get together. It is also very nice for me to be able to break out of my box and have new friends. We have been blessed over the years with awesome friends, but it is always nice to have friends from school.
Natalia's long time friend, Maddox and his mother, Kaelish so kindly treated us to a night out at the Disney on Ice show. We had a fantastic time and again was reminded how important friends are in life. Here are a few pictures from the kids trip to the Rose Garden.
