hey mom--it's about time for your monthly blog, don't you think?
we'll be praying for your safe and fun time in chowtown!
mini blog today, as matt and i are about to eat stuffed crust pizza--ever since michelle mentioned it on her blog, i've been in the mood!!!
nice blog, emily, i love max lucado--his words are so simple yet they penetrate my soul...
p.s. everyone should go to a chiropractor--it feels so good and i've never been so healthy!!!

welp, it's wednesday night and sort of felt like a friday. my kids had a half day, so i was supposed to be writing report cards. distractibility set in and i ended up eating lunch, chatting with coworkers, making a speech game, and getting my billing done. it was actually productive, i just didn't get the report cards done. oh well, another minimum day tomorrow (we have one every week--now i finally do, since another SLP is taking my charter school).
it's been feeling like spring lately-like it's staying lighter longer, the weather is warming up, rain time, and that weird spring fever that i get every year! i thought it would go away now that i live on the west coast, but little things bring back such strong memories of the joy of spring in ohio.... can anyone else relate? it's difficult to put into words.
my favorite part of winter here is the blooming of new flowers. february seems to be the month for that-new colors appear on plants everywhere and make the air smell so sweet.

matt and i are trying to figure out where we want to go on vacation this summer--SO HARD!!! too many places to go...
on the list of potential places to visit in the next few years
1. yosemite national park
2. seattle
3. drive/camp up the coast on hwy 1 (especially big sur, monterey/carmel, san fran)
4. ireland
5. colorado
6. joshua tree national park
7. grand canyon

recommendations from anyone who has been to any of these places are welcome...
well, enough dreaming and planning for me
i'll leave you all with a quote from a kid today:
"sometimes i forget where i am" from a sweet little boy trying to find his way back to his class.
yeah, me too.
