Happy Mother's Day

 Happy Mother's Day!

We have some pretty amazing mothers in our family!

When I was a little girl, my mom would always hold my hand.  I remember looking up at her and feeling sure and steady because she had me in her hands.  Thanks for being such an amazing Mom - I love you. xoxoxo

Exploring Ecuador & The Galapagos Islands

This past spring break I had the exciting opportunity to travel with 5 students and two other chaperons to Ecuador and The Galapagos Islands on an educational adventure trip.  The nine days went by quickly as we took in so many great sites - volcanoes, sea lions, giant tortoises, the local market, stunning cathedrals and churches, and so much more.  I learned how to snorkel while I was there and can't wait to do that again.  The sea lions would swim right up and around us.  They reminded me so much of my sweet Emma dog!!  For a few moments, as I watched some giant sea turtles swim by, I thought I had entered the world of Nemo.  I hope you enjoy a few shots from my adventure.
