...to start updating your blog again!
I have been very overwhelmed about my blog. I always feel like that when I take to long to post something. Since I have been missing writing in it, I am taking advantage of a very rainy rain day here in Brazil to upgrade my blog. The date is 10/23/2012 but I will have to go back as far as May/2012...
The end of May it got very busy for me, I knew we were going to spend the Summer in Utah and then off to Brazil for 4 months so it was pretty crazy trying to pack 10 suitcases, get the house clean for David, kids school's graduations, ballet show, end of another soccer season, piano recital, etc...
Let the pictures speak for themselves!
Ballet Show (Hannah and Lucy go to the same Ballet School) and Piano Recital
Mr Mike is one of the smartest teacher I have ever met. He was great with Isaac and I was very emotional and happy that day because my little Ike is not in special education anymore. He caught up!
Both my daughters made in the "Principal's List" award,received the "Bee Glow" Awards for their grades and won Olympics of math (Belle) and reading (Hannah). I wanted to get up and shout when their name was called but I didn't. Embarrassment alert! :)
Have you ever hurt your child? Probably not but I can tell you how it feels. You feel plain horrible, you feel stupid (sorry for the bad word, I will wash my mind with soap later) and you fall asleep crying when you go to bed late that night. When I was a little girl, my mom used to ride her bike with me sitting just like that (pic 1) and I loved it. I would always tell her to go faster..It was one of my favorite things to do with my mom. I loved the feeling of the wind on my face and I tough it was pretty cool. I tried to do the same with Hannah that night, she loved at first but when it was time for me to stop she forgot to hold it tight and she fell on the floor with her face down. (explains her nose in the pic 2). I felt horrible.Just plain horrible. and I am also sure I won;t be doing that again.
The Barlows took over Primary that day. Belle and Hannah had talks and Isaac had a prayer. It was nice to be there for all of them at the same time. I sometimes forget that they are doing something there and I think it was possible to forget in a day like this.
