Ending the Year 2011

A few days before the end of the year 2011, I sit and reflect the many things that have happened in our lives.

Our 2011 has been very interesting, we barely have had the chance to stop and rest:  many changes, many adventures, many journeys!

We have gone from living in Guachalá to finishing our own house and moving into it.

We sold the Rodeo to help pay for the house and bought a more ecofriendly car, the Spark.

At school, we started our second year, opened a toddler classroom thinking of little ones like Alegria, and got our functioning permit.

Ana Martina started her second year of the 3-6 Montessori Children’s House program and Alegria is now in the 1-3 Children’s Community program.

Rafa jump-started his Cayambe Libre and is now giving computer and internet classes.

I have made an effort to sew more, do some more art, I started the sketch book, and have been reading as much as possible.

Now we are getting closer to a new year.  In the end of things, this “New Year” thing is all symbolic, but I still like to think that it gives us a chance to improve things, grow  and explore more, challenge ourselves more, love all things, and more than anything continue enjoying this journey we call life.
