Bye bye summer...hello third grade!

After a whirlwind summer of getting ready for baby Daniel, lots of workshops, and some fun getaways, I started back to work last week. The kids came back this past Monday and I am loving third grade. It's a bit overwhelming but I know it will get better. I have six kids in my class who I also had in first grade. It is neat to see how much some of them have learned and grown in such a short period of time. We have a lot of work to do before TAKS in April but I know they will all be ready!

While I have been back at work, Jay has been hard at work in Daniel's room! He painted it and today he put the crib together and moved the furniture back in. It is really coming along and I will post pictures as soon as we are finished. Only 16 weeks to go!

Vacation


Jay and I spent last week in Fabulous Las Vegas. We had been planning on going for my 30th birthday so even in my preggo state we decided to still go. We had a great time and I came back $100 richer plus a "winner" polo shirt from the Freemont Casino. Classy huh? We decided to stay downtown this time which was a good choice because everything is so much closer together. We knew that this would be our last "grown up" vacation for a while so I am so glad we were able to go.
I only have two more weeks of summer which are filled with trainings. I am anxious to get back to school because I know that it will be that much closer until Baby Daniel arrives!!
