Where do the days go?

I was recently looking over my past blogs and realized that I haven't blogged in over a month. So many amazing, wonderful, and stressful things have happened...

With my first experience as a first year teacher under my belt, I was able to grow and learn from all my students. On May 7th I had my High School Concert. I was so proud of my students and all they have accomplished given the circumstances. What strong and wonderful young people. A week later, I had my elementary concert. Despite all the temper tantrums and discipline problems, I truly love these young students. What energy-filled and ambitious spirits they have. They too, taught me patience and how to be a better teacher. They loved me unconditionally despite my many weaknesses. They too, did a tremendous job! I will deeply miss my new young friends, but look forward to getting to know new children.

Okay so that was the end of my first teaching job in a nut shell. Now on to Jake. I am so proud of what he accomplished in his first two years of school. This past semester he recieved a 3.7 GPA while being a full time stay at home Dad. I know I often gave him grief about not doing enough house work, but he really is a phenomonal Dad! GREAT JOB BABE!

Then there's Callie. She continues to say more and more words with each day. She says love you, night-night, and can count to three. Her favorite movie is Finding Nemo and we watch it at least once a day. She also likes Mickey Mouse Club House and says "Oh Toodiles" Of course there are so many more things that she can say and do, but me being a slacker of a Mom haven't written them down. My goal for the summer is to update her scrapbook and make a more complete record of the cute things she says and does.

Last but not least, we have once again moved. We moved last Thursday (the 21st) into a townhouse in Scottsbluff, Ne and absolutely love it. It has a ton of space and lots of room to grow :) I am looking forward to the rest of the summer...until next time.
