a birthday+a wonderful visit+time

A week ago, we celebrated our kid's 7th birthday. How fun to see almost 20 kids jumping, screaming, running, laughing for two hours in a row, never stopping, never taking a break, all sweaty and smiley having fun and eating cupcakes. You wonder where time went; how 7 years flew by so fast. Grandma came for D's birthday, from very far away and that was so special. That was really so extra special.

I was thinking last night how our kids and parents are always kind of a good time measurement unit, right there in front of your eyes, reminding you how awareness of the present moment is so important. Kids grow too fast; parents grow older and changes are more noticeable every time you see them.

Good Sunday. Healthy and peaceful week to all.

Some pictures to share of a very cool birthday.

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

Copenhagen

I've had this city in my mind for a while. Never been there, but every time I research about trips to Europe I bump into a Copenhagen article, link, photo and I get more and more interested and excited about this city. In pictures it just looks like the kind of city I like. Here my inspiration for today Friday, a few photos of gorgeous Copenhagen. All photos by: littlescandinavian.com (one of my favorite blogs). Happy weekend. Healthy and peaceful.
