1000!!

WOW...this is a huge milestone for me.  I never thought I would get 1000 hits on my blog, but it has happened!  I have finally visited my own blog 1000 times...I need a life.

Anyway, this past weekend was a good one.  Jose had Saturday classes on Saturday, yay...then we hung around Saturday afternoon and played a game of Uno while the kids played.  I had sent Ava outside to play with some other faculty children (one of the benefits of living here, being able to send your kid out to play without hovering over them) and was hoping she would stay outside...next thing I knew there was a playdate at our house with 3 little girls.  They had such a great time playing.  Manny chased them around and we got some time to have fun ourselves.

Sunday was a beautiful day outside and my parents were going to come down and visit.  My mom called and said that she wasn't going to clog up our day with a visit and we should get outside.  LOL...so, I for once in my life listened to my mom.  We packed the kids in the car, packed the bikes and the bike trailer, packed some PB&J's and headed to Falmouth for a bike ride on the bike trail.  It is so freeing to ride my bike with my family again.  Ava now rides her bike and Manny is big enough for the trailer so it is great to be able to get out with everyone.  Ava sang while riding her bike along the beach path and Manny couldn't have been better.  We had our snack and headed to Old Silver beach.  Ava wrote letters in the sand...she is learning how to read and is fascinated with words and letters.  Manny picked up every rock he could find...which was a lot and if the time we had at the beach while it was windy and a bit chilly was any indication of how the summer would be, this is going to be the best summer EVA!  LOL

I still have not found my solution about food yet, but I am working on it.  I know it is all tied in emotionally...I have to work on some issues.  I am chipping away at them.  Baby steps.
