Moving onward...

I realize it's only been a few days since my previous post, but today was so amazing! All the work and stress really paid off in a beautiful, exciting and really fun promotion program.  I was honored to be a teacher and parent today!

The day was definitely a roller coaster of emotions...mainly for this momma!

I can't believe this is the last car ride to school he'll take with me!


His sweet kinder teacher had these kids Kinder picture in the hallway.  This definitely got my tears flowing.  He's top row, right.


Ready to walk the halls, one last time!




The cafeteria looked wonderful thanks to our amazing parent volunteers.


Here they come...


 Jonas received quite a few awards...two medals for his Masters level STAAR scores.




A trophy for a perfect score...100% on the STAAR Reading test.



Finally, the Presidential Award, given for 4th and 5th grade straight A averages, one advanced score on 4th grade STAAR and both advanced scores on 5th grade STAAR.  Only 10 kids out of 100...3 of these kiddos were in my class, so I was a proud mom and teacher!


They sang the most beautiful song...it made me cry every time they rehearsed!  But I kept it together during the ceremony today.


He had a incredible year with these two, not only great teachers and colleagues,  but wonderful friends.


Partners in crime...




Your future is so bright Jonas!  We love you!

Less is more...

less stress less work less talking less people pleasing less saying yes less social media less noise less chaos less guilt And most importantly... less explaining myself And unfortunately, it seems I have made less time for writing and blogging, which makes me feel like I need to explain myself! 😂 This year my word of the year is "l ess" . I've written this blog for 13 years now. Social media was just getting started. I started the blog, not to overly share my life, but as a way to document it like a baby book or photo album would. Now everyone shares their life story (and then some) on social media. I've told myself I would be doing "less" of that this year. I love sharing stories about my kids, my family, and my adventures in life, but I want to do more here, and less on social media.  But as I was focusing on the less in life, I stepped away from here for a bit longer than planned. It is my reflective space, where I can gather my thoughts an

Motherhood...

    Mother's Day, 2023~Reflections from a Mommy blogger And sometimes it seems like the manual is missing important chapters and sections I need! I have learned a lot and done my best over these years to be there for my children in every way possible. My four children are so different and unique that mothering them has never left a dull moment. They have each presented joys and challenges to me. I can with 100% confidence say the greatest accomplishment of my life has been raising four amazing children to teens and young adulthood. They have made me stronger and wiser in so many ways. Lorelei helped me earn a Mommy MD with all of her unique medical issues and showed me what grace and gratitude look likes like in tough situations. Jonas has schooled me in subjects, academics, and philosophy well beyond my interest. Savannah has shown me what true joy and drive can accomplish in life in just a short time. Bailey has shared a love and gift of music with me,  pushing me to improve my o

T'was the night before 50...

  Yikes! I can't believe I turn the big 5-0 tomorrow. I'm going into my 50s brighter, stronger, and feistier than ever. I am ready to take on whatever life throws at me and excited for the upcoming adventures of this year.  2023 is already off to a strong start. There hasn't been too much going on other than school, diving, and a few too many hospital visits this month. We had a workday for our first day back after Winter break. The girls brought me lunch and stole me away from work,  just a wee bit early.  Jandro moved up to Austin with Savannah this month. So far, so good! I love when "Scientist Savannah" sends me pictures from the lab! Her Spring semester is off and running.   Lorelei had two major dive meets this month, including Districts. I love how she gives it her all still, no matter how difficult it may be for her.  Proud parents! After John saw this picture, he promptly trimmed his beard.  Her district teammates are all so supportive of each other, even
