Time flies when you’re having fun!

Well, January has passed already! I remember a few years ago, when I was homeschooling Lucia, it was the longest, slowest month ever! I was dreading it again back in December, but January went by pretty quickly this year. Probably because I’m so busy. Looking at my calendar, there is something written on most days: Activity Days for Lucia, Occupational therapy for Sylvie, Recorder Class for Lucia, book club, feed the missionaries, Policy Committee meeting for Head Start, Stake Leadership meeting, watch my friend’s kids, visiting teaching, visit less-actives, Activity planning meeting and Julio and I even got a date to the temple and out to dinner. I have also been going to the gym every morning after I drop Marco off at school. I love going and Tessa loves the daycare there. I do zumba on Mondays, Group Strength Training on Tuesdays, yoga on Wednesdays, and kick-boxing on Thursdays. I’m feeling stronger and have more energy and it puts me in a better mood when I have that total-me time. I guess (I’m) pretty busy! It’s good though.

Marco got an award at school in January for Self-Discipline. His teacher and I figured out a system to help him improve his reading. It’s accountability and trying his best everyday-he gets a good note to bring home and a sticker on his chart if he does all his reading. Lucia did a performance of Gangnam Style with her class at the awards assembly. It was funny. I’ll have to post the video to You Tube.

Marco our ladies man who has a major widow’s peak and needs a haircut. One day I went to pick the kids up at school and as we were walking through the quad, a girl said, “HIII Marco!” and another girl said, “No! He’s mine!”  I just gasped and kept walking. I don’t think Marco heard them, and if he did, he ignored them. Good for him.
