The GGs

Since Aunt Michelle made the decision to go back to school to become an RN, Eli has joined us a few days a week. We've called our new group the GG Academy ("The GGs" is what I call the George/Goody kids :). The teacher in me definitely comes out as we have a schedule of events that we try to stick to each day that the Academy is in session. A typical day would be: breakfast, 3 1/2 hour/mile walk/bike ride to various parks, River Canyon Trail and then neighborhood coffee shop (coffee for me, treat for kids!) with a picnic snack along the way. Then we have lunch, learning games and/or story time, followed by two cartoons, learning games and play time. It makes me feel happy to have some sort of structure and learning apart of my day. And now that Talia is older, it's a lot easier to do these things now!

Awww... :)

This was completely unplanned. They were riding their bikes ahead of me when they decided to stop, get off their bikes and hug. Really sweet moment I was lucky enough to catch :)
