Do you ever close your eyes and have that one picture/memory of your kid that’s locked in there and that will always be the way you picture them? This is one of them for me. As we hurtle towards double digits at the speed of light and all the joys and challenges that encompasses I just want to hold my baby and these memories tight. 💕💕#eleanorlc (at Pathfinder K-8) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpy6uMbOTk0k7-LsjtoYFsUP8L_BbUED8o1Z8A0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dormire a Roma: Una storia. Sul pavimento Sul dell'autobus sulla strada per le catacombe. In un taxi. Su una panchina nella cappella sistina. In un bar. In un altro taxi. E infine a’ letto. (at Roma, Italia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmjjL7NrjQ3XsoF4B5tz1Xc_EIlZxxXEHUCWek0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Il giorno secondo a Roma! Una chiesa bella. Un dipendente ci ha dato un tour privato improvvisato. Una volta entrati in piazza eravamo nella parte piccolissima del Vaticano con uno stagno di pesci e tartarughe!! Accendere una candela per Grandma Colleen, Boomers alive and well in Italy 🤪, La Fontana di Trevi e Piazza Navona. Non nella photo: gelato!

First ski of the season (damn COVID and other snafus) was a bluebird day in every sense of the word! So grateful for the mountain and being able to enjoy it with family and friends.

Today a chapter closed. We said goodbye to our 2nd home. A place that cared for my aunt and grandparents, where I volunteered with amazing residents, helped raise my babies, and saved my life countless times. A place where we all had room to grow and be. A place we forged lifelong friendships. I shed tears today and feel a huge loss but I know this isn’t goodbye, it’s just until we meet again. PS-next stop, Kindergarten!

This one was a beast. Create a website to discuss educational technology. My perfectionist tendencies almost won out but I pressed on. In my 20s I probably wouldn’t have won that battle and gotten overwhelmed and shut down and felt like a failure. But not now. I can do hard things.
