Diagraphs and Blends

I spent the month of June teaching a student(2 actually) all about diagraphs and blends. I am pleased with their progress and take pride in my part of the process.

Only 2 more days and the summer is all mine.

Today

I gave my husband a disc golf set for Father's Day. He is also getting a new gadget from the boys, but this gift, was from me. He took our two youngest sons to try it out this afternoon and they had a great time. When I got home from play practice, I heard all about throwing the discs, hopping the creek and how much they all improved their throws.

My husband grew up without a father. Well, he had a father but he wasn't a dad. His father drank(still does) and was not nurturing or a good role model. My husband is a wonderful father and a fantastic dad. Sure at times he drives me crazy (not is a love song kind-of-way, just crazy crazy) but he is a good dad. My boys are SO lucky to have him as their father and they don't even know it.

But I do.

My Friend Molly

My friend Molly got married today. Her wedding was heartfelt and full of joy. She asked me several months ago to play guitar during her wedding and I was honored to do so.

It is days like today that I am so glad my husband and I moved back to the midwest where we can know our neighbors and feel a connection with people. I loved my time out west and wouldn't trade it for the world. But I am very grateful to be where I am right now.

My 2 oldest boys stayed at the reception with me. I loved talking and dancing(!!) with both of them. They both brought me cake (with a fork!) and made the evening extra special.

There are days when I wonder why I am where I am and why I'm doing what I'm doing. Today, I know why.

Fit

Our new Wii Fit is quickly becoming my best friend. I love all the features and feel motivated to use it each day.

Those Nintendo guys really know what they're doing.

I caught him in my garden in the autumn one night.

He was robbing me.....
