Election Day
The last time I was here, in this place for this reason Maddie was only 8 months old, J Dizzle was just a little over 2. I had both kiddos with me. Why? Why would I do that? I don't know, but I did.
4 years ago we had just bought our home, I had just moved into a new position at a new school, in a town I had once known. It was the beginning of a lot of new things for our family. Fast forward, where did four years go? Maddie is 4. Maddie is 4. I can't believe it. Starting to read (yes! ) , and in a dual language pilot program, she is generous and thinks of others far more than anyone I know. She's so silly, kind and pretty. Jason's is 6. He's an amazing baseball player, he can hit, throw and loves soccer. He reads, writes, and speaks English as well as spanish, and is quite the manager.
In the next presidential election, my best girl will be 8, I can't even begin to imagine my baby girl at 8. Jason will be 10. It almost brings tears to my eyes. With every year of growth, so many exciting developments and skills emerge, but so do my babies' worlds. Worlds I cannot control or understand or sometimes even relate to. Music I can't tolerate, friends I worry about, and influences that scare me. Wow. 4 years.

The great state fair of Texas!!
We took the DART train from Carrollton down to fair park, an exciting 45 minute ride and the kiddos were bursting with enthusiasm. The picture with Maddie by herself is my favorite, she just couldn't contain her excitement. All kids in the area get a free fair ticket and she thought this was her fair . Are we going to "my" fair? She asked all last week. We had lots of fun!
