Our week was filled with the bustle of a full schedule. The week started with Luke's Casey Eye appointment. I am happy to report two things...1) His eyes remain stable and 2) Mark went with him to this appointment I got a break! He will return in June for another check up. The weather was beautiful last Monday (a bit cold) but clear. The kids and I found ourselves in the backyard soaking up the sun. Matthew found some toys and is always so very happy to run around outside and so very unhappy when he has to come in the house.
Each week I have been asking the kids what they want to eat for dinner. This helps me in two ways. I come up with ideas for dinner with their input, and they are more likely to eat it because they helped pick dinner. I've been trying to include more veggies in our meals. Tacos are one of their favorites and an easy way to get more fresh veggies.
I woke up to a blanket of fresh snow on Wednesday morning. It was 3am, and I was up to teach my sweet students. This week was Chinese New Year. I was shown this picture of a traditional Chinese New Year meal. I was also greeted with a big red Chinese New Year sign and wished Happy New Year several times. These kiddos are so sweet. Although, I am ready for my schedule to get back up to full again. It has been a long holiday break for my students.
Matthew had his two year old photos taken by my sweet and dear friend Brienne. His birthday signifies the anniversary of our friendship. It hard to believe two years have flown by. Matthew was a little reluctant at first but she got some great photos and I can't wait to see them.
Friday, the whole family headed to Long Beach, WA for a weekend getaway. Our friends invited us to stay at their beach house, and we were so thankful for an opportunity to unwind. It was very peaceful and a beautiful house. We were able to walk to the beach, collect some sea shells, practice our best Karate Kid impressions and eat some really yummy seafood. Saturday was Matthew's actual birthday. He laid in bed between Mark and I, and I counted down the minutes till the exact time (7:57am) he was born recounting the story of that day. He actually blew out the candles on his mini cupcakes and it was a very relaxing day.
More snow greeted us last night and this morning. Most of it has melted away...just in time to go back to school tomorrow. I am happy to report that my computer has been fixed! It will be returned to me tonight. Although my laptop and I have become better friends this past week. It got me through all my VIPKID classes without issue, and worked beautifully at the beach house. I taught my first away from home class this past Friday. It felt good to know that I can do this job just about anywhere there is WiFi. Week #7 was wonderful, and I am looking forward to whatever adventures await in the next.
