We are home. Back to the familiar things we missed while we were gone: Our own beds. Central air conditioning. Blake’s stuffed Curious George who he greeted with a warm embrace. My husband who we missed dearly for two and a half weeks. Blake is at his very first fathers…
I’m beginning to realize that just because one “big thing” or event is over doesn’t mean you can stop and take a breather. Another “big thing” is always right around the corner. This week turned out to be the week of nonstop teaching for me. In addition to the regular…
