March Madness | Weekending

February is a short month, fairly gloomy if you're not skiing every weekend [that helps!]. Then comes March -- a very LONG month, with sporatic bursts of powerful hope. It'a a roller coaster, really. For a teacher, March is a marathon without any breaks for vacation or conferences. A day in, day out month where kids are getting tired of the same old and feeling the "we're almost done here" itch. Teachers are plodding, not exactly excited about new content or upcoming holidays [except summer and it's still a long way off].

Spring break starts tomorrow and we're getting on an airplane! It will be a welcome break from routine that we all desperately need. I'm so looking forward to the new experiences, new memories, and new ways to bond. I'm excited and pretty nervous. These boys haven't gone anywhere they needed a passport before!

Better write this blog post today, I said to myself. So here we go.

We have had some very fun times this month -- skiing at White Pass as a family, visiting friends and family in Walla Walla, a weekend on the Idaho farm, and two epic ten mile adventures on the loop trail! I love making collages of my Instagram pics because it helps me remember the best parts of the month. #documentlife

So HELLO APRIL! And off we go to Haiti to visit the darling kids at the Children's Village! Look for photos on Instagram if I can find WiFi!
