Summer's here!

School is officially out and I am in vacation mode. My mormor (mother's mother), mom, and yougest sister came to stay a weekend with me in NOLA. Annika actually ended up staying nearly two weeks and riding the train back to Birmingham with me.

Having guests stay over was good practice for starting foster care. I had to be quiet when my mormor went to bed at 7pm and had to practice feeding someone other than just myself. "Oh, so you don't want hummus and green beans for dinner?" I did however manage to get Annika to eat creamy gnocchi with edamame and squash. Success!

Pictures of our students because I can't help but show them off. Love these guys!

Check out the bow coverage for kinder graduation
 So proud of them paying attention to the speaker!

 Proof that she tried new foods
My new haircut! I started my summer doing things that I normally don't have time to do like getting my oil changed and a haircut. The stylist made my hair straight--something that I didn't think was possible--granted, it took over an hour... I'm scared how short it will be when it curls up because we all know that I will not be spending nearly an hour each day straightening my hair. No more pony tails for me.

 Annika and I visited a park and searched for LA wildlife. I was disappointed that we didn't see any gators but we saw some snakes and TONS of dragonflies. This is the walking trail view--gorgeous!

 My summer reading pile (not including audiobooks). I'm ready to lay by the pool and dig into these books :)
