Welcome To My Blog

Welcome To My Blog!! I am the proud mother to Cruz & Yvonne! My children have taught me that big things really do come in small packages & what true unconditional love feels like. It's a blessing to watch them grow & experience all the wonders of the world for the first time. It makes me appreciate all the beauty in life more when seeing it through their bright & curious eyes. I look forward to sharing my tales of motherhood with all of you, and I enjoy reading your comments.

Pre-School

When Cruz was 6 months old, I filled out an application for him to go to a pre-school over by our house. Now that he is almost 3 and a half years old, the pre-school finally called to say he could get in.

So many things have changed over the past couple of years. I'm no longer a stay-at-home mom, and I'm working full-time instead. Also, the pre-school is a co-op which means, the parents have to work at the school so many hours a month. Also, Cruz is in daycare. The daycare teaches almost everything they teach in pre-school, and the daycare own says Cruz already knows everything up to the first grade.

I discussed Cruz going to pre-school with the daycare and was told it really was unnecessary and probably more trouble than it's worth considering our work schedules. I was also told that all the kids at that daycare go straight into kindergarten.

So, I guess Cruz won't be going to pre-school after all this time on the waiting list.

Happy New Year!

My first blog post of 2009. Happy New Year!

We had a great holiday! Cruz, Josh and I really enjoyed Christmas. We stayed home this year instead of traveling which allowed us more time to relax. I cooked an excellent Christmas dinner with prime rib, sweet & spicy green beans, and basil & chive mashed potatoes. Josh said it was the best meal I ever cooked. I would have to agree. I love to cook and the holiday was a great excuse to really go all out and cook something special.

So now that we have crossed over to 2009, I am really looking forward to another great year. Next week, I will be traveling to San Francisco for Macworld Expo. This will be my first and maybe last Macworld since Apple will no longer be a part of it. I'm really looking forward to this trip. Going to Macworld is something I have always wanted to do since the day I bought my first Mac.

Also, this will be my first overnight trip without Cruz. He has had his mommy there every day since he's been born, so I hope he will not be too upset when I'm going for a couple of days. It will also be an adjustment for my husband, but I know he will manage to get by without me for this short trip. I'm also very fortunate to have such a supportive family encouraging me to go to Macworld. I am very loved!
