Almost a Kindergartener

Spring Snow

It is March 28, 2008, it's a Friday. Seven days into spring and we are having a snowstorm. Today we were to register little Stephen into Kindergarten for this September. I can't believe this weather. More so, I can't believe he will be going to public school. Both children in the same school come this fall..he seems nervous, a bit shy and a little apprehensive. I have all summer to ease his fears...I don't know who is more afraid here myself or my son.
Meanwhile there is no future date for this to be rescheduled. Just wait and see...and so it goes.

Making Bunny cookies

February

And so it goes the shortest month , the coldest. We welcome March with a smile. Winter takes it's toll. The children seem to enjoy frolicking in the cold blustery snow., must be their youthfulness. I just want to remember it all. I guess if we did not have the change of seasons I would be the first to miss it.

Winter/Summer

In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
— Albert Camus

This was in my email today, it suits me perfectly...

Snowy February

It is a snowy month so far, I know only six days into it. I am so not a winter person. Freezing rain added to the snowy days just mae me long for spring. They say if you can survive a Maine Winter you truly deserve spring. So here I am awaiting and counting the days.
I miss my very dear friend Dyana, and her family. It was about this time last year our friendship was thriving and getting very strong. I hope she can try to visit us this spring or perhaps this summer. Oh wishful thinking....and so it goes

How I am feeling....

(P. Simon)I hear the drizzle of the rainLike a memory it fallsSoft and warm continuingTapping on my roof and walls.And from the shelter of my mindThrough the window of my eyesI gaze beyond the rain-drenched streetsTo England where my heart lies.My mind's distracted and diffusedMy thoughts are many miles awayThey lie with you when you're asleepAnd kiss you when you start your day.And as a song I was writing is left undoneI don't know why I spend my timeWriting songs I can't believeWith words that tear and strain to rhyme.And so you see I have come to doubtAll that I once held as trueI stand alone without beliefsThe only truth I know is you.And as I watch the drops of rainWeave their weary paths and dieI know that I am like the rainThere but for the grace of you go I.

Day After

Christmas....Wow was it a grand one!
The Christmas morning was awesome, they woke at 4am...in amazement and wonderment., oh the magical joy on their little faces.
The big hit were the new bicycles, and all the other little toys and stocking stuffers... Connect Four and Wooden Tonka Tow Trucks...Disney bath sets and Cars too..

I had to work, but only for a few hours. When I arrived back home we have a beautiful Christmas ham dinner. It was a beautiful Christmas.
We are all so tired now...so much goes into one day., as it should.

Now in less one week it will be a New Year! I can't believe it!

Off to School

Well, she left for the first grade 2 days ago... I can't believe summer is unofficially over and we are back on a routine...and in two weeks are last born son will be off to pre-school! I enjoy this time of year as the weather is refreshing cool crisp air at night and warm bright sunny days.
The season of new growth only inwards.,shedding layers changing colors of the leaves preparing harvest time, and long winter that awaits. But for now., I cherish these days the enthusiasm, the tied in the knot stomach and anticipation of a new experience in school. The deep appreciation of a new box of crayons, new pencils......oh what precious days they are indeed. Good Luck Lil' ones.
