Merrik has a really good friend named Kole. They play amazingly well together-in the pool, at the beach, all through Preschool and even at home. Before we went on our family vacation, Kole and his sister came over to play. This is how cute Merrik and Kole are together.

Merrik had a great time in day camp last week visiting the Irvine Fine Arts Center, Jump’n Jammin, Saddleback Lanes and Creekside Park. It was a week of generosity and service offered through the Center for Spiritual Living Capistrano Valley.

It was a week of generosity and service offered through the Center for Spiritual Living Capistrano Valley. This is the same center that offers the Kids Day Out sessions that both my kids have been involved in and the people are awesome. It was also the way I found out about Serra Preschool. I am finally finding a wonderful community of families in this area. It’s a great sense of community for me.

Last month we had sun at some point here in San Clemente. I remember because we actually went to the beach with Merrik’s friend Kole and his sister Maya.

Maybe it will return some day very soon when it remembers how much fun it has while it’s here!!

I don’t know what I’m going to do without that wonderful community of people. Hopefully we will be able to keep in touch with most of them for years to come. It will be such a joy to see the kids from his class grow up in the community of San Clemente. It has been difficult to think about parting ways from Serra and I can only hope that Concordia Elementary will be almost as special for him.

I worked three of the last four days of school and they included Doughnuts with Dad and the space bubble plus lots of swinging since I am a sucker for setting up the swing. The kids would all come running to me as soon as we went outside to swing them really high!

The kids have all grown up so much since their first days here that I barely recognize them from their early photographs.

If there is any one thing that I can say I made the right decision in my parenting, it would be choosing Serra for Merrik’s Preschool-and hopefully we will be able to return when Maliea is ready.
