Happy Father's Day and 1st week of summer!

Ah, summer, we meet again my friend <3. 

It's hard to believe that I just finished my 7 1/2 year of teaching-you have no idea how old that makes me feel. A few weeks ago I was driving home from work and one of my students that I taught when I was at an elementary school drove up to me and starting waving and yelling hi out of his window. My former students are now driving! And in just a few years, they will be graduating! I'm not sure if teaching gets easier or harder over the years. Every year has its challenges and its proud moments. I'm not going to lie-I always look forward to summer very much (I challenge you to find a teacher who says they don't look forward to it), but I have really been looking forward to this summer. I've spent all school year with 160 kids, and now it's time to spend the next few months with my 3 most favorite kids of all. We have a lot of fun in store for us Summer 2014. Sleeping in, playdates, swim lessons, relaxing, watching the World Cup, and our very first trip together as a family to South Padre! It's going to be great.

Happy Father's Day to my best friend! 

Enough about summer; today is all about celebrating my best friend and father to my children. I can't believe how gracefully he handles taking such great care of me, Julian, Eve, and Kena. He always has an unending supply of hugs, kisses, and smiles for each one of us. Our kids love him so much-you should see how each one of their faces light up when they see their daddy. Julian just thinks the world of Justin. It does make me a little envious sometimes that Julian turns to his daddy for everything, but  I know we will have different bonds with each of the kids.  Fatherhood is something that Justin was meant for and I'm glad to be on this journey with him. He is the glue that holds our family together! It has been a great weekend-yesterday I got to spend it with both of my wonderful father in laws and today I got to spend it with my own dad and granddad. 

I'm looking forward to this week-the twins turn 6 months and Julian turns 2 years old! Where does the time go??? This time last year we were sharing the news with everybody that I was pregnant with twins. Crazy!
