Cubs Game

I love going to game because:
1. I get to go to the city.
2. I get to sit in the sun and drink ice cold beverages.
3. I can eat things I normally would not eat,
like hot dogs, nachos and cotton candy.
4. People watch!
5. Be in the city!
6. Cheer for the cubs, everyone is very passionate.






New Front!
We are not in cubs gear this time because we were going to a Texas Exs gathering for the game.





Houston didn't have a problem, the cubs did!




Texas Flag!


Before game patio where we had a cold beverage!



Skybox is a roof top seating... They are desirable because you pay more but get all the drinks and food you want!










Something exciting happened, I think, so I took a picture. I was busy talking to my new friend that was sitting next to me. Jason already moved seats to be closer to the food and refreshments.



Last call(not our beer though)



This is my "mad" face at the end of the day!

Flowers

This is a before of my garden... Before I prepare it for my Italian themed garden.















We are a month behind Dallas with spring.. So the trees are just now blooming. These are just a few pictures from our backyard.

Craft Day

I spent the day at my friend Kila's house making clips. We found clips that we wanted to buy that we knew we could make ourselves. So you went and bought felt, headbands and other goodies.
















All of the clips can be put on my hat or a headband!

Celebration of Diversity at School

I am responsible for teaching Global Studies in my class. This year we studied Poland and Italy. The school I work for is a Reggio Emilia inspired school and is based in Italy. I have taught everything imaginable about Italy, which is also great research time for me too.

Italy

We are going to Italy! We planned our trip through our travel angent. While we travel frequently, the last major trip was our honeymoon. He did a wonderful job and we are looking forward to what he has planned. I have been researching every city and will post plans soon.

A New Day

I am going to try this out. I hope that I can keep people that I care about updated with our small little world.
