It's Been Awhile

I realize it's been a day or 100 since my last post. Let me catch you up on what's going on in the Vescapades fam lately.

Dade is a month from (hopefully!) graduating from high school. He plans on becoming a teacher; he wants to teach history. He's still working at the Fallbrook Y child care. We pretty much never see him between school and work. Here he is headed to senior prom:



Brody is finishing up 7th grade. He was selected for All-City 7th grade choir. He's playing basketball and football.  He's got his mama's attitude and his daddy's stubborn streak. 


All City Choir
Evelyn enjoys kickboxing, choir, running, rollerblading, and hanging out with her friends. She and Soren also took hula lessons, and Evie's playing the saxophone. She was selected as the one and only Inspire student from her elementary school. She's finishing up 5th grade and will be riding the bus to middle school with Brody next Fall.




Soren is rocking 3rd grade; she's in all the differentiated (advanced) classes. She also loves choir, soccer, and hula.



Colby will be running his second half marathon this week. He's always busy at work, but gets up early to run with Archie. He's coaching soccer and football, and he takes Evelyn along as his running buddy. She rides her bike on his long runs.




I'm teaching lots of yoga and managing everyone's schedules. I started a new and exciting yoga teacher training last week. It's called Yoga for All, and it's about making yoga accessible to all body types, larger bodies, older bodies, people who've been through physical and/or emotional trauma, and transgender people. I'm thrilled to be learning how to bring yoga to all those people who maybe think yoga isn't for them or that their bodies aren't made for yoga.



My friends and I escaped a puzzle room!



I started a book club in January called All Booked, and we're actually still meeting! I made a commitment to read more in 2016, and so far I am proud to say that I am reading much more than I did last year. Not only do I get to spend one Friday evening a month with a bunch of rad friends, but we also head to a local dive bar for karaoke afterward.


We have a new nephew.


This guy and I will be celebrating 18 years of marriage in May.



I've developed some new friendships...with some younger women who like to go to the dance club and take me to Lil Wayne concerts and make me feel like a youngster.




This lady is officially cancer free!



I'm going to be a bridesmaid in October; my long-time friend has finally found the guy of her dreams. She's there with the white bag.



Being surrounded by all this goodness makes life so fulfilling and busy, which is why my blogging has been falling behind. I plan to blog more, especially because I want to share my yoga training with my fellow yogis.

Plus, it's an election year. I will surely have some opinions about that, right?

Namaste!
