Kristen and Me celebrating our Birthdays
David and me celebrating my Birthday
This is our first fall here in Lake Elsinore. Today is the 1st cool day in a long time, with a little bit of rain. I had the windows open last night since the house was 78 degrees. It stays at that temperature most of the time and you do get used to it. The house was at 71 degrees this morning and the kids were complaining that they were cold. Have we gotten acclimated or what?
Gracee is enjoying 1st grade and is really doing well, especially with her spelling. She is also enjoying ballet. Evan likes preschool and we are seeing so much growth in his speech. There is a great possibility he may not have to have speech services after this school year. His hard work and determination has paid off, but with that strong will sometimes comes hard parenting times for Mommy and Daddy. Evan also started playing T-ball last weekend. Recently they have learned to ride their bikes with no training wheels. They need more practice, but are starting to get the hang of it.
Last Friday, I celebrated my 34th Birthday. David spoiled me rotten and let me tell you, it was awesome! Friday, I had the day to myself. I shopped for a few hours, got some coffee and had some me time. That evening I went on a date with David to the Yard House. We enjoyed way too many calories and time alone. On Saturday I went to the spa with a friend for the day. It was her Birthday on the 2nd. I had an amazing massage and a pedicure. My hubby even got up before I did on Sunday and made me breakfast and brought me coffee in bed. There are some wonderful things about getting older. (not the laugh lines and the age) I love the confidence that you feel with age. Less "stuff" bothers you and brings you down. I also realize what a wonderful life that I have and feel so blessed to have amazing children and a husband that I adore. God is good and I am thankful!
