OMG!! It's July.
First, for all my family and friends SORRY it's been sooo long since I posted. Since I graduated it's just been a whirlwind summer so far.
To summarize:
- Nyomi graduated from 1st grade with flying colors and is now in a Young Actors Workshop that is put on through the Pinole Community Theatre. It is for children ages 6-12 and the very talented crew are putting on "Annie". Performances will be held on August 1-3. We LOVE Annie and I am so excited for Nyomi who has been talking about Musical Theatre for years!
- Maya finished her first year of preschool and is summer camp 3 afternoons a week with Sydney and Jonah at Pinole Tiny Tots. This summers theme is "On the Farm". She is almost 1 year post-surgery and is an amazing miracle!
- Sydney is enjoying summer camp with her siblings and is also taking Swim lessons two nites a week at Canyon Pool with all of her siblings. Swim lessons are a BLAST and all 4 kids are doing sooo well.
- Jonah too finished his first year of preschool with Carolyn at Downer and is doing fantastically well at Maya and Sydney's preschool for Summer Camp. He's finally potty-trained and has caught up soo much in his speech. He will go to Carolyn's class again next year for Pre-K and take the bus with Shirley.
- I, after 8 1/2 years at UC Berkeley am starting a new chapter in my career. Tomorrow!!! I will be ther new City Records Manager for the City of Berkeley. I am very excited, albeit nervous, to take on this exciting and sure to be rewarding challenge.
What else...Aline, our amazing Au Pair is about to start her last week with our family. Her 2 years with us has been a joy and we know that when she begins going to school full time next month and living in El Sobrante, the kids will continue their relationship with her. Our new Au Pair, Sarah will be joining our family on August 1st. We are VERY excited for her arrival from Finland and can't wait to meet her!!
Everyone else is great!! We just got back from an exciting vacation in Yosemite with my parents and David. Here are some pictures. We rented a house in the Redwoods and just had a blast visiting all the sites in Yosemite...still one of my most favorite places in the world!
