Two Impressive Accomplishments


Shortly before Michael Phelps had his amazing and historic one one hundreth of a second win, Jeremiah took his very first steps!!! Interestingly enough his first steps were actually about 5 or 6. Of course we were all very excited, I was on the floor playing with him and called everyone over. We sat in a circle and he took turns 'walking' to us. He never got another 5 in a row but did 2 and 3 then he crawl, do sommersaults and generally enjoy all the attention. While we are in no hurry for our little baby to grow up, it is still very sweet and cute to watch this great accomplishment in his young life. Way To Go Phelps!! Way To Go Jeremiah!!

Good Morning

The First Day Of School

She refused to get out of bed... She cried and said 'do I have to go?' She faked like she was sick. She said she wasn't going to go and I couldn't make her. Finally I said, "Jeanna, face it. The summer is over and today is the first day of school. it's going to be a good year.

OK it didn't really go like that. Rather everyone got off to school without a hitch. Kids both seem excited about their teachers. Jessica was slightly dissapointed because her sandals wouldn't let her run very fast during tag and shedidn't get to do any math. Jillian is a real live fourth grader, switching classes and all.

Babies even had a little drama. Afer the day care closed down the other day due to plumbing problems, they were operating at half capacity. We could use the daycare one day and had to find arrangements the other. So they went to daycare today and promptly... got sick. Jeremiah had a fever and I had to coem get him and take him to the doctor. It isn't strp which is good. He will be over it by Friday. He got to have a milkshake for dinner so life wasn't too bad. Jacquline has a stuffy nose, in her words, "It feels like I'm snoring."

I have been back for over a week, and really never left. I taught several inservices, went to some conferences and taught two online classes. The schools I support are now back in session so the type of work shifts a little.

Jeanna is looking forward to a good year and has been back in her class for aver a week getting ready.

Favorite sign we saw the other day while out to breakfast: Good Morning... Let the Stress Begin.
