A wild little party

I underestimated how wild -10 boys and 1 girl, (all of them 8 years old) could get- when you get them all together for a whole two hours. Oh my gosh, I thought I was going to die.
They had lots of fun though and my heart bursts with love when I see my boy happy.

Happy Birthday my sweet boy.

I am so proud of you.

Of the big boy, you have become.

I'm proud of the strong will, I see in you. Of your stubbornness when you strongly believe in something and how sweet you can be with the people you love.

I am proud of how smart and opinionated you are.

And what a good friend you also are when I see you playing with your buddies.

I am thankful for having you, every single second of my life.

Thank you, son, for coming to this world eight years ago and for teaching me everything I came to learn.

May God give you one hundred years more. May God protect you every day of your life. May you live a life full of good health, peace, and love around you.

Love,

Mama.

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.
