  So it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged.   Some of you may be happy to see another blog in your inbox and some may not be, but I had a thought this afternoon and I wanted to share. Summer is quickly approaching and I don’t know about y’all but I am so enjoying finally getting out of the house. Where we are currently staying Dan, the girls, and I tend to go on a bike ride or walks almost every day and sometimes a couple times a day depending on weather and schedules. This afternoon the girls and I were biking and my youngest kept getting in front of us, and then stopping to see if we were following her.   That wouldn’t be a bad thing if she didn’t keep stopping almost right in front of us.   What started to be a leisurely bike ride kept being riddled with me being afraid of crashing into her, and swerving at the last minute to avoid her.

ECOT, Our Family's Story

Hello! Me again, it's been a busy day!  :-)  Grin. ECOT my daughters' school wrote an article on my family.  I did not write it, though I am quoted quite a bit in it.  While I don't typically share a lot about my girls  specifically on  social media due to some drama we've had about this in the past, my family agreed that it was important to tell our story.  http://www.ecotpals.org/blog/finding-school-and-family-life-balance-an-ecot-familys-story Super Smiles,    Anna M.
