a beautiful wedding

It had been a while since last time a remember going to such a touching wedding, more than a wedding actually, a beautiful proclamation of love. And this past weekend we spent our whole Sunday between getting ready (which is never easy in this house) and celebrating with our friends their decision to be together for the rest of their lives. The setting was just astonishing, the decoration so simple and pretty, people looked beautiful, loving and so involved with the celebration, and the couple, well, that's probably a different post, such a special couple, very special souls. I cried a lot, from the beginning to the very end of the ceremony. But I cry at weddings, and to be honest, after having Diego something happened to my lacrimal ducts, I cry even more now days than before, maybe hormones never went back to normal :)

I'm so happy we were there this past Sunday, I'm happy not just us but Diego was part of it too. He asked me actually, Mama, why are we here? I said, it is a wedding Diego, we are celebrating love. He replied back: Oh, we are here celebrating love, family and friendship? He is 4, just 4, and even for my little one, it was so easy to realize that, that place Sunday was full of that, love, family and friendship.

Congratulations to both of you David&Luis. You two are so beautiful together.

Kindergarten

It seems we have finally found a school we really like for D. to start elementary school next fall. I know, it seems so early to start the process, but in order to pick the school we really wanted we needed to start this early. What a relief. What a big relief. We toured at least 10 schools in the last 2 months. In our district, out of our district, public schools and private schools, charter schools and whatever's left in the middle, and somehow there was always something that didn't click to me when touring all those schools. All of them -btw- with very high scores and super nice reviews, but still, there was something that didn't convince me. It happened the same to me when I was looking for preschools for D. two years ago. I visited many, until I went to one that felt right to me instantly, it felt right in my heart. And that was how I felt yesterday morning when we visited the very last school in our list to tour, it felt right. I liked the school, thank God, I liked ...

Lately

It's been so long. I feel I haven't post anything in ages. Life has been seriously busy lately, that's why. And it seems that is the general tendency among friends. Whoever I talk to, they are trying to juggle a million things at once. That's life these days, I guess. The news have been scary, lately. Around the globe. Very scary. This year we have seen all kind of sadness, craziness, nonsense around the world. Even natural disasters have been horrific. And it seems it escalates year after year. To be honest the last few motnhs I have felt the need to hide, to retreat and protect my loved ones. To move somewhere where nothing can reach us, not even social media or TV... -especially social media and TV- But how? How we protect the people we love? How do we hide? Where do we go? Not sure where the world is going and if you have kids it can get really really scary at times. Is this the world we are leaving to them? What I'm sure about though is that more ...

Madison in the summer

For some reason, I don't want to let go of the idea of warm summer-days this year. Every year and right at this point when summer is kind of fading away and the cool breeze rolls into the city, I usually feel excited and inspired by the arrival of the Fall season and its beautiful colors; not this year. I'm longing for more sunny days, and sunshine and summer scenes like the ones below in my pictures. Not ready for layers yet. Not ready for cold days. But we live in the northern midwest area of the country and seasons don't play around here, they get on time and do their job. I won't complain much, still three full weeks of summer (with grandma and grandpa) and to be fair September is a gorgeous month in Madison as well. Some pictures of beautiful Madison in the summer. Good week to all. Peace and good health, friends.
