I seem to disappear from the blog scene the last month or two of school. It's really hard to believe there are only 4 weeks of school left. I'm thick into sending 8th graders off to high school and welcoming the new 6th graders for next year. We have also added a 3rd child to our family, right in the middle of the other two! I now have 3 daughters, 9th grade, 8th grade, and 6th grade. Some day I hope to share the story of how we welcomed our 3rd into the family. It's an exciting story and we are grateful. She has been with us for 3 weeks now, and we are busy with more activities, an extra laundry basket, and a bigger grocery bill. It's amazing how adding one person to the family increases the intensity of everything going on! She has been so easy going and adaptable.  Just today we went to a Latino grocery store and bought stuff to make a traditional El Salvadoran meal, and it was "muy rico!"

I will do some thinking about what I want to write about when I have more time this summer. I'd like to do some research and add a few more resources to my site, or I might just focus on journaling. It's more for that than anything else anyway.  In the meantime, family and friends, enjoy the ride as you finish out the school year with your own teaching jobs, kids, and if you are not in the school loop at all, through the spring and welcoming summer!
