Christmas 2010 (so far)
Every year we try to not exchange presents... but adopt a family in need instead. This year we helped (with other teachers) adopt 3 families in need. Saturday we delivered the first set of presents to a family. It was a great opportunity and I loved seeing the faces when we brought the presents into their house and put them under their tree. I really loved the expression of excitement on the 10 year old's face when Miguel brought a new bike with a bow on it into the home. I love this about Christmas. I love sharing with others who are less fortunate. We did make sure that Michael was able to get something this year too. All he wants this year is a $100 visa gift card... so he can go shopping after Christmas.. (the sales.. ahhh... he has learned to be frugal like me.. lol)... I love that we have no presents under the tree... but just a nativity ... to remind us what the true meaning of Christmas is. I love that spirit of Christmas is in my heart... That is my special present.... and that is all I ever want for Christmas.

Halloween 2010
Michael decided this year that he would not go trick o treating.. and instead just hand out candy.. I was excited about this.. cuz.. that meant a relaxing Halloween! lol.. but lo.. I was wrong.. my son says on Halloween morning.. that he has decided he would trick o treat afterall.. and donate the candy to my prize drawer at the school.... hmmm.. who could put that one down.. lol.. anyways.. his costume from the year before still fits him.. so all we had to do was buy a mask.... he went to a few houses and decided he was done... lol

Summer is half way over!
I can't believe that summer is half way done! WOW! It is flying by fast... probably because I have been busy teaching this summer and getting many classes done at WGU as well... Miguel has moved to days.. which he hasn't worked for 11 years.. It has been a wild adjustment.. but nice to finally have family dinners together.. wow... forgot how that was! lol... Michael's baseball is almost done as well.. his team is in the tournament... if they win the game tonight.. .they are in the championship game.. Woo hoo.. .
Well... I will try my hardest to keep my blog up to date.. sorry =( ..... I do miss Northlake and want to go back.. I know that may sound crazy.. but I LOVE teaching! It is addicting and I love every minute with the students... I am so glad I was able to teach English as a Second Language classes to adults this summer and run a Spanish club for 8-12 year olds.... that has been a blast...
Well.. Enjoy the rest of the summer... hopefully you will hear from me again soon
Chow!
