May the 4th be with you!

What better way to spend a rainy Saturday than at our local comic book store?  I like to share my geekiness with the kids by taking them to Free Comic Book Day every year!

This year, it was even better because it fell on May the 4th - Star Wars Day - so there were plenty of people in Star Wars costumes at the shop.  David loves all things Star Wars, and Sophie knows a lot about it just by spending so much time around her brother's obsession, so they were more than happy to pose for pictures with the characters we encountered.

We picked up our free comics and a few other things, then had lunch with some friends - and now we're home reading the free comics!  David chose a Star Wars/Avatar double comic, plus ones featuring Spongebob and the Smurfs; Sophie picked a Tinkerbell comic, one with the Tick and a third with the Incredible Hulk.  I'm a proud geek mommy today (and every day - but I love seeing my kids enjoy geeky things too)!

My family

 
To understand my crazy life, you need to meet my family - my amazing husband Rob, and our two children, David (age 6) and Sophie (age 5). I don't know how I ended up here - when I was younger, I never thought I would get married, much less end up a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom - but I'm happier than I ever imagined I would be!

We live in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA, where Rob and I moved twelve years ago from Miami, FL. I was born in the VA suburbs of Washington DC, but my family moved to Miami when I was ten so that's really home to me. Rob was born in the Panama Canal Zone, but grew up in Puerto Rico before joining the Navy and finally ending up in Miami. We love our life in Georgia - though the spring pollen is currently killing me...
