Summer Break is Over!


Summer is officially over, well at least the summer break...I just want to know who the break is for, sure not for moms. I need to take a vacation to recover from this "break". It's been a crazy but fun summer.

Dylan started 4th grade. I can't believe how fast he is growing up. He is in an immersion program for Spanish. This is his fourth year, he is doing great. He is so tall and handsome. We were a little concerned in the beginning, but he is so smart.
Isabella started a new school today. We feel she will do much better at this new school, without having to learn Spanish. She is so brave, even though she is scared, she has such a good attitude and willing to make a change. She has been going to a Center where they help kids develop skills to make sense of this world and the way we expect people to talk and behave. Her doctor is great. She loves going there and have learned so much. She is having trouble with certain letters, mainly S, L and th sounds. Her tongue is "lazy" and she has trained it to be used in a different way. The problem is that it's hard to understand her. She also have some sensory problems. It's has something to do with her brain. She can hear things but for some reason it doesn't connect in the brain. It's like a glitch. She is learning how to deal with that. Anyway, I love being with them...however, now my break start...

Weekend in Leavenworth

We decided to take a short trip to Leavenworth (25 min away) before school started. We got a room at Icicle Inn which is right next to a fun zone with miniature golf and arcade games. The first night we went to the pool. It was actually cold outside, so I sat in the jacuzzi while Rick and the kids played in the pool. Tyler, Jade and Maddie came to visit. Isabella and Jade wanted some privacy, so they changed in the closet. After the pool we came in and played Dylan's and pappa's new toy...Rockband. It's fun to play, but I also love to watch them, they get so in to it. Watch the clip.
The next day we went and played mini golf. It was a beautiful day. Dylan and Isabella did great, a lot better then me that's for sure.


If you have never been to Leavenworth you have to come. It's a beautiful town, it makes me feels like I'm in Europe.
