A Curry of a Life

We spent a week out in beautiful San Diego, CA with family for my brother in law's (Lyndon's brother) graduation from law school (yay!). It turned out to be a mini family reunion. The kids had the best time with all the family there. They especially loved having their little cousin to play with. We spent most of our time at the beach. We did a hike at Torrey Pines down the beach. Went to La Jolla to see the seals and sea lions. Visited the San Diego Zoo! Surfed and boogie boarded at Pacific beach with the fam. We went to Sam's graduation. One night we had a bonfire at Coronado with hot dogs and s'mores. Our last day we visited the Japanese Friendship Garden at Balboa Park. Most importantly, we stuffed ourselves with some really good Mexican food. Our individual high lights are: Lyndon: Surfing at the beach. Christine: Boogie boarding with a sea lion!  Cosette: Swimming at the pool. Henry: Going to the zoo. The reptile house was his favorite. Rapha: California

Raphael started going to nursery school a few weeks ago. He is going to the same school as Henry, in the younger class. He just goes two days a week for half the day. He has enjoyed it. He is really into playing with his friends. He gets excited when to go to church, because he gets to play with his friends, and now school. Every time I ask him what he did at school he says, "played with my friends". He takes his BB-8 lunch box, which is his prized possession, and loves to take it with him where ever he goes. He will ask if we are going to Henry's school. I will say yes. Then he says, "no, my school," with his heart melting smile.  His teachers keep telling me how great he is doing. They say it is like he has been going to school the whole year.  As a mom, that is so great to hear. I am very pro nursery school. It is part of my village. I know I cannot do everything, and there are people out there who have talents in areas where I do not. I am so gratefu
