Jacob and his Aunt Kaitlin, sleeping in his shelter he created for a merit badge...in the backyard...not in a tent...they are brave!

Sofia and our favorite neighbor Gigi.  Please ignore all the unsafe things you see in this pic.  They both survived and we had a talk about riding bikes barefoot with no helmets with a little person on handlebars...

Isabel on her bike she is tired of.  She wants a 'real' bike like her bro and sis. I'm trying to have her get at least another year out of it.  Wish me luck!

school 2013-2014

First day of school for the Fernandez family.  Not sure if any of us were ready for school to start, but oh well...  

Isabel is in 5th this year.  

Sofia started 7th grade...junior high!!

My 6th year teaching at Burke...still teaching 5th.

Isabel

Jacob is in 8th.  Two kids in junior high. Don't know how that happened so fast!

Ouch.

Sofia spilled super glue on her leg...it's a long story...she came screaming down the hall about the pain, when i went to pull her sweats down, the skin stuck to her sweats and she lost who knows how many layers of skin.  It took about a month to heal.  It never bled, just was oozy and wet for about 2 weeks.  Poor girl.  She is gonna have a doozy of a scar.

Rocky Point 2013

Kids went to Rocky Point with their dad the first weekend of August, just before school started.  Looks like they had fun.
