It's been a few weeks since our trip
Out of town. I'm glad l got the clouser l needed so I could finally moved on
Lena's constant support made a huge difference, on another note Francesca will be starting school in two weeks
It's hard to believe Frankie will be going to second grade this fall. Ariel is nine months old, she is very happy baby. Ariel has too teeth, Lena stopped nursing just a month ago
She pumped all the breast milk into bottles, l went to the college where l'll be working at and met with the dean and the other faculty members
They welcomed me with open arms
I was giving my schedule and syllabus
I'm teaching two classes one in the morning and the other one in the afternoon. I have always loved English, Lena will drop Francesca off in the mornings and pick her up after school. Because l don't get off until 5:15pm in the evening, San Diego seems like the best place for us so far
We pretty much stay to ourselves and don't bother anybody. It's one of the reasons we choose a single family home, in the suburban part of San Diego. Lena's downstairs preparing dinner, Frankie probably up in the play room playing. I head down stairs to see what Lena's making for dinner
Ariel is sitting in the baby swing
Swinging back and forth. It's Thursday which means Lena's making her famous chicken Tacos with lettuce tomatoes, shedded cheese and sour cream. Hey baby how's going in here
Stef said to Lena, Lena turns around
Hands me a glass wine. Everything should be finished soon, Lena says
Stef takes a seat at the table
She placed her glass on the counter
Frankie's upstairs in the playroom playing Stef tells her wife. She's awfully quiet, Francesca's been up there all afternoon playing
I think we need to get her some extra curricular activities. Can she needs an out, Stef States. We'll talk to Frankie about it over supper, babe can you please set the table. Ariel's been fed a little ago, Lena replies
That's good Ariel when do you want her to start eating regular food
Stef asks. When she turns one
Lena replied, Stef begins setting the table. Lena turned off the stove
Once Stef gets done with the table
She leaves the kitchen to go let her daughter know dinner was ready
Stef heads up the steps, and turns down the hallway. She sees Frankie cleaning up all the toys, and putting them back in tote. Frankie feels somebody watching her, she looks up
And sees her mom standing in the door way. Frankie got from the floor and walks over to Stef, is it time to eat now mom Francesca asks. Yes
Stef Stated, ok l'm gonna go and wash my hands. Frankie says
Francesca leaves the room and goes to the bathroom, she starts humming
As she rises her hands off
