Our First "Color Run"

We participated in our first "Color Run."  Christian and Jonathan ran together and did a great job!  Scarlett and I "walked  / ran" because Scarlett wasn't prepared to run with the shoes she had on.   For the last leg of the race, a volunteer took Scarlett and ran with her - it was so cute! :)

Christian Steps Outside His Comfort Zone and Jumps off the Diving Board

Christian is a kiddo who really fights stepping outside his comfort zone.  We've got a new friend who hosts dinner at her home on Friday nights ... and she has a pool.  Christian was really scared to jump off the diving board and so Jonathan bribed him with money to do it.  And it worked!  Christian was SOOOO excited after that first successful jump! :)

First Day of School: 4th Grade

Ladies and gentlemen ... we have a 4th grader! :) He was super nervous, but had a great day!

Note:  Scarlett's pics will be on her own blog.

Christian Gets a Tour of Vineyard Elementary

Today the new Special Education kiddos who are attending Vineyard Elementary school were able to come to the school to meet the principal, their special ed team, and their teachers ... as well as get a tour of the schoool.

This school is so cool, because it is set far off, in the middle of hills and vineyards (hence the school's name).   His teacher, Mrs. Gearhart, seems very nice, as does his Special Ed teacher, Mrs. Van Alstine.  

We are hopeful Christian quickly adjusts to a traditional public school after being in a charter school for the past few years. 

The Luceros Visit the Iconic Hearst Castle

Wow ... just WOW!!  We had a grand adventure visiting the iconic Hearst Castle in San Simeon, CA.   It was huge, beautiful and absolutely stunning!   We took one tour of many available and are super excited to explore the rest of the property in the future!
