Aloha!

It's been a while. Things have been going on in Gracieland that haven't really been fit for Gracieland. Sad things. Heavy things. But, as the show must go on, so must life and so must the happenings in Gracieland.
It has been hectic. HEC-TIC. With A in 1st grade, we have crazy sized homework packets, lots of reading to attend to, and lots of activities that mom has to prepare for. Like, for example, deciding how A should dress up for tomorrow's International Day. His class is German. Where do I get a German outfit at 5:15pm on a Thursday night? And why, you ask, did you leave putting on the German costume until the night before? BECAUSE I didnt know about it! We have been in Hawaii, A has been out of school for a week and a half, and (I double checked) nowhere on the hand-outs does it say to dress German. This I find out today, his first day back. So why, you ask, have I decided to start up this blog again rather than do what it is that I'm supposed to do? Well it's simple. I'm lazy and I like to procrastinate, especially when I have NO IDEA what to do.
Anyway, we have dealt with some family stuff, no worries, in the end everyone is happy and healthy and still here. Thats what matters most.
We went on a vacation. A MUCH needed, happy, family vacation. Of course, Gracie came along.

Gracie LOVED Hawaii  



And of course, so did A.!
