My New School!

This is my new school. As you can see it's still under construction, but will be ready in August. My principal sent some photos to me, so I've chosen the best ones to add here. Boy, my school didn't look anything like this when I was growing up. Check it out!!

Next: The bathrooms, very colorful!

Next: Our "pod" area. Each grade level is clustered together with a common space/pod area in between for join use.

Next: The library!




Last: The cafeteria. This is right at the front of the school when you enter, which is nice when visitors come to eat with their children. There is also a stage area to your left. You can just see the steps.

I'm excited. This makes me not so sad about leaving my old school. It's been hard, since my co-workers are some of my best friends.
PS-Little has been kicking me (well, as much of a kick as he/she can muster at this point). Very weird sensation. I like it, but it always catches me off guard, like when you're on an innertube at the pool and some kid swims underneath you and kicks the tube with his foot. Feels like that.

Fishing off the dock






We traveled up to Minnesota where Blake's parents live. They live on a lake and have their own dock. Brandon and Tucker (our nephews) spent the better part of 3 hours fishing from the dock today. They caught a Northern Pike, Wide-mouth Bass and a bunch of Sun fish. Here are some pictures of the boys happy as little clams...

Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary...


to us!

This weekend marks the 1 year anniversary to us. It has been a fabulous year. I hear how hard the 1st year usually is, but not for us. Blake jokes that it must mean all our other years are going to be rough. I hope not!

For our anniversary, Blake surprised me and took me back to Powell Gardens where we got married. It was a beautiful day and I was feeling wonderful.

Very productive weekend

I spent my 'first' Mother's Day weekend out at garage sales and we found some great stuff! I'm most excited about our stroller find. We found a Peg Perego Pliko stroller. These strollers retail for big $$$ so finding one for $25 is a deal worthy of a "squee!" It's awesome. Even Blake showed a little excitement when he found out it's Italian.
When we got it home, he promply gave our cat Toby a ride around the basement. We also found a bouncer, a pack n' play and some swaddler sleep sacks. I love swaddling, it's amazing; watching a screaming infant instantly calm down and go to sleep just because they're swaddled.

I'll leave you with an image of Blake's hard work Saturday. Sometimes the yard is just beautiful.
