We have a lot of changes happening, all good ones, but causing for a bit of craziness around here. To start, we have NOT yet moved, but hopefully (keeping our fingers crossed) will be moving soon. We had a few issues with the guy that bought our house and after a couple weeks of back and forth we finally had to boot him out and put the house back on the market. I won't go into all the details, but all in all we are hoping and praying that all of this will be behind us with the start of a new month! It has been very up and down this past month which has not been easy, but we've stayed positive and prayed for the best. We've been "half packed" for about a month now since our original moving date was May 30th. Ava has been such a champ with all of this and has dealt with playing with one small box of toys while most of her things have been packed up or stored in the garage. Keeping your house "show" ready when you have a toddler is NOT an easy thing!
Along with selling our house and buying a new one, Steve and I are both transitioning out of our current jobs and into new ones. This meant that we both had to pack up our classrooms on top of the craziness of the last week of school and all the moving drama. Luckily my mom came out to help with all of this and she was a life saver! Steve will be running the summer camp until August and then transitioning into his new role as Assistant Principal at Calabasas High School. Along with all of the job changes and overlap he is also finishing up his master's program to obtain his Administrative credential. Needless to say, it is a very busy time for him, but with no surprise to anyone he is handling it like a pro.
I will be taking next year off from teaching in the classroom and be transitioning to a job as a stay at home mom to my two little girls. :) My school offered me a one day a week job as a science teacher, which I was thrilled to accept! Since Grandma and Grandpa have graciously offered to watch the girls for us one day a week it will be a perfect fit for me next year and we can avoid the cost of any daycare!
Enough talking, here are some pictures from this past month…..
 |
| Daddy's graduation. |
 |
| Perfect picture to show at her graduation one day. |
 |
| Lunch by the water, watching the dolphins and seals. |
 |
| Penguins at the Aquarium |
 |
| She tends to be more into the fake ones than the real ones. Probably because she can hug them! |
 |
| Giving baby sister some love. We told her the baby's name, but asked her to help us keep it a secret. So far she has done an amazing job! Tonight I heard her in her crib telling her animals her baby sister's name and telling them that it was a secret and only mommy, daddy, and Ava know. It was so cute! |
 |
| Beach time! |
 |
| Hanging with cousin Crystal who came to visit all the way from Florida for Sandra's bachelorette party. |
 |
| Sunday morning Starbucks run with Mimi |
 |
| Cheers! |
 |
| I caught her playing teacher while we were packing up my classroom. |
 |
| Fun day with Mimi at the Children's Museum in Pasadena. Leave it to Mimi to find us the best Children's museum in the area. |
 |
| Are we moving yet????? She sure is ready to go! |
 |
| It amazes me how brave she is with animals. They were very aggressive since she had food, but it did not bother her one bit! |
 |
| What better way to kick off summer than playing in the fountain after lunch! She and Asher had a blast. I twas all fun and games until she pulled her pants down and tried to pee in the fountain in front of the entire lunch crowd! |
