Ahoy mate! I am happy once again to stop by to say hello and hope you had a great weekend, as calm or as exciting, as peaceful or as intense, all according to your heart's desire.
This was a special weekend because today, Sunday, was celebrated in my country as Father's Day, which allowed us to share a nice afternoon with my father, sharing a delicious lunch in honor of the fathers of the family and thus sowing this tradition in the children.
Early in the morning I also prepared a special breakfast for my husband and surprised him and our children with our gifts for him.
As I have already mentioned, this is a family and social tradition, although deep down we know that it corresponds to a commercial day to encourage the market, we always love any excuse to get together and share a different day.
But the most significant thing this weekend was the arrival of my children from a trip they made to the state of Merida, located in the Venezuelan Andes, this trip was organized as fieldwork for their school, since they study in an institution whose philosophy is to learn by experimenting and getting in touch with the environment and society, from the point of view of geoscience, quality of life and culture.
The children spent 5 days on their trip and I already missed them very much, there were my three eldest children who are the boys and my niece who studies at the same institute. My little girl had her dad and me to herself for the whole week, but she missed her brothers and sisters a lot. In total, there were about 50 students and 5 teachers in charge, and the trip was fabulous, I'll be doing another post with all the details.
And since I have already mentioned my children several times, I would like to take the opportunity to answer the Weekend Engagement question in week number 158 about my decision to become a mother.
As you have already seen I have 4 children, and in this regard I must say that I always wanted to have children, although I didn't think much about it being very young, but I met my husband when I was 18 years old and very quickly I felt that I wanted to spend my life with him and have a family, we were dating for 6 years and very quickly we were already talking about one day getting married and having a very big family.
In my home, we were only two sisters and I dreamt of having a family of many siblings, my husband came from a home with 5 siblings and enjoyed it so we always allowed ourselves to dream of a big family. I don't have pictures of my children as Galenkp suggests, but in compensation, I have here a picture of our wedding.
When we got married I was already 24 years old and we had no problem having our children at any time, although I remember we preferred that if we could wait at least a year it would be better, so it was a little over a year when I was finally expecting our first child who was a boy who is now 17 and is about to go to university in a few months.
I had the next boys very soon, one and the other one are only 1 year and 9 months apart, so there were times when I went out with all three together it was like triplets and, I couldn't go out alone with all three, it was an adventure and a danger. I can also remember at this moment, that every time they confirmed that it would be a boy I was very happy because then they would have someone to play with, have fun with, and share interests with as they grew up, and so it was.
When the youngest of them was 7 years old the baby girl was born and it was a great gift for the whole family, at that time we were not looking for another baby and it was a great surprise, it has been beautiful to see our family grow up to this point, overcome difficult times and also grow as a person trying to be better every day.

I would say that although we always say that we do everything for our children, it is very important to continue growing as a person, not to abandon what we are passionate about or allow ourselves to discover new passions along the way, and to cultivate them and fill our lives with them, because the children came to leave, to give them to life and to see them take off their wings and there we parents will be left with half a life to continue.
See you again and I wish you a Groovy weekend.
Aho!
