It's been so long since I last posted that Blogger has updated its look. Yikes! We've been trucking along down here in Texas, folks. Spring is nearly behind us, and that's mind-blowing.
Nigel's doing really well at daycare/preschool. He has gymnastics and dance class, and he's wrapping up private swim lessons this week. I NEVER imagined myself as the kind of mom who'd enroll her kid in anything private, but when in Texas.... Nigel's writing his letters like a champ and learning so many new things every day. It's quite amazing. Last weekend he went to a friend's ice cream-themed birthday party. Check out the giant pinata!
This spring we had two guests: Uncle George and Uncle John. We had a blast with each one! Nigel showed Uncle John the science museum's traveling exhibit about all things gross (think: farts and burps); we took Uncle George to
Dinosaur Valley State Park, where we got to wade in a river with dino foot prints.
What we're looking forward to: A business trip to Laredo for Tim, a family trip to RVA in July, a new preschool for Nigel, our family anniversary, Nigel's first pro baseball game and Nigel's soccer debut!
Nigel and I have been going to the meditation center in Arlington for about a year now. It's such a wonderful place. If you'd like to learn more, you can visit their website here. It's funny that I came to the Bible Belt and finally began my Buddhist practice in earnest. (The temple is literally a block from Cowboys' stadium, which always makes me laugh when I see it looming over top.)
While the adults engage in meditation and listen to Buddhist teachings, the kiddos have a class of their own. Nigel's usually the youngest kid in the bunch, but he takes away the general theme each week. Today they talked about pure potential, one's true self without delusions. They made a craft that was too cute not to share.
