Snowy Day in Georgia





Mark and Matthew are really lucky. They got to experience snow on their first winter here in the US. It was fun watching them play with snow and throw snowballs at each other. They wiped the ice off the yard. Watching the snow fall is a majestic sight. Being from a country with no snow, I am certainly filled with so much childlike joy as I watch our subdivision turned into a winter wonderland. It took only a few minutes for the snow to cover the ground. This is not common in Atlanta and I wish it can stay this way for another day or two. Days like these would be a perfect backdrop for just sitting back with a warm blanket, a new book and some hot cocoa. I actually borrowed a book by David Baldacci. Can't believe myself to be working today on my IEPs and modifications instead. I was probably in a motivated mood so I just took advantage of the momentum and fired away. At least, I got some done. The snow has stopped a bit now but temperatures are dropping. I hope to see more snow.

Proud of My Kids


Mark and Matthew made me feel proud when they showed me the sticker bumpers they got from school. It said "Proud Parent of an Honor Student". Yep, the two boys got all As in all their classes. They really deserve it. I see them working on their homework everyday when I arrive home from school and they take their projects and assignments very seriously. I just hope that they continue to be focused and not lose sight of their goals. These are blessings that are priceless and more than make up for all life's shortcomings. I am thankful to God for letting me be the mother of these two wonderful, hardworking and respectable gentlemen.
