Girls Just Want to Have Fun

Hello, testing, testing… I have decided to dust off the keyboard and start blogging again. I was recently rereading some of the stories I have written here and the memories of the events came flooding back as I looked at all of the pictures. I don’t want to forget any of these moments in our life. They’re very special to us and help document what we have learned and how much we have grown. So expect more updates on the happenings of our life and our new adventures.

Zoë and I spent 6 weeks in California before Tommy joined us and I wanted to share some of our fun adventures. It wasn’t easy and there were a few moments I cried. I missed Tommy terribly and I know that I never want to spend that much time away from him. We are so thankful the Austreng’s opened up their home to us and let Zoë and I stay with them while we waited for Tommy to return and for the Schoch’s to find their perfect home. And I appreciate everyone (G-Pop, Gamma, Veronica, Melinda, Justine, and Sami) who were willing to watch Zoe while I returned to work. I had total peace of mind when I was at work and I know Zoë enjoyed her time with everyone! I started a new special education program at Avaxat Elementary School. I felt confident in taking the position because not only did I attend the school as a child, but I was going to get the opportunity to work with my Kindergarten teacher!! Zoë and I spent our weekends hanging out at the pool, eating lots of popsicles, playing with water, playing at the park, meeting new friends, shopping, gazing at the stars, and helping Auntie Ashie plan her wedding (more on that later).

SO without further adieu here are just a few pictures of our fun times…
