Happy Happy Easter!!! Where did you spend your Holy Week? I finally was able to spend the Holy Week break with the family. In my old job, where I stayed for 11 years, I never had a Holy Week nor summer break.

Noah just recently started walking (a few weeks before his second birthday) and it's just so much fun seeing him explore, play and take in his surroundings. Also, having him walk on uneven surfaces like grass and gravel improves his core strength and balance, so yay to Noah for sneaking in some therapy too! haha! So last Feb 25, we packed up our day bags and hied off to … [Continue reading]
