we are all sick.  mia is sickest right now.  i’ve had it the longest.  jeff was down for a few days, lila had a funky eye, and gabe is still hanging in there.  in spite of all of that, i can’t help but notice how GREAT my life is : ).  today i dragged sweet sick mia to el morro to register for kindergarten!  she kept telling everyone that her birthday is july 21.  apparently that’s when  you can go to kindergarten.  when you turn five : ).  then we picked up gabe from school and hung out in mary blantons 2nd/3rd grade classroom.  she ROCKS as a teacher (and as everything else.)  her classroom is so inspiring.  cocooned butterflies, tadpoles turning into frogs, all kinds of things hanging from the ceiling, zodiac tracings everywhere.  it’s so cool!  i really want gabe to have her for his teacher sometime.  she’s just awesome.  then we went to our chiropractor (at the bottom of our street) to see what i needed to take to get rid of this illness.  our doctor, the whole office really, are familiar friends of ours.  i love living close like this, knowing and being known.  it’s so great.  then we walked a few more steps to the library to get the next few books in the series that gabe is rocketing through.  the children’s librarian is so nice, and recognizes us now too.  the kids always go right up to her and ask where they can find a book, which she knows exactly where and what they have.  so fun.  and now back home where sick mia can lay on the couch watching tinkerbell while gabe goes next door to bus stop bible club and play with his buddies.  and i’m here writing, waiting for little lu to wake up, looking at my AWESOME peonies from trader joes.  not everyday is like this, but i have to say, this one is pretty good  : )
