I used to hate people like me. You probably do to. You know, people who hook you with their super fun blog and then their is a lull...............a .............long..................lull! Yep, hated them! And sadly, now I am one of them.
We have had an amazing summer and we are now back in school. Shelby had a great 2nd birthday party. She is SO grown up! At her 2 year old well visit she measured at 35 1/4 inches (90th %) and 28 lbs (70th %). She is a happy and sweet girl.
We are back in school now and I am having one of the most challenging classes of my teaching career. I am hopeful that this class gets "normalized" eventually, but as for right I get to practice extreme patience all day long. I keep reminding myself they are getting a little older each and every day. Oh MY goodness if they aren't all absolutely precious! Seriously, they would make you love them all the second you met them. I have some great personalities in this group! On the plus side, I have made a new grown up friend at school this year as well. I also have a fabulous room mom! She is amazing.
I have also taken on a role of the planner of the school social events. This past week we had the school wide potluck. I thought it went very well. Shelby had a fabulous time and had to have a bath from all of the fun she had. I did think she was funny because the kids had taken off their shoes to get in the sandbox and Shelby kept bringing me different shoes she had found (err.. stolen) and wanting me to put them on her. She also kept snagging cookies and cupcakes from the buffet! I love how comfortable she is at CMS.
Shelby is having a fabulous school year. She is so cute walking into her classroom each morning. She is the first to arrive and so she gets to help prepare the class snack. She is happy. I love being able to see her through out the day. She was getting in trouble at school for not keeping her shoes on. We solved that problem though! Whew!! She a about to start potty training. We have bought some special big girl panties and wet clothes bags. I am pretty sure I have bought my last pull ups...optimistic aren't I?
Mr. D. is as busy as ever. He has some HUGE stuff going on at work which is requiring LOTS of late nights, and working from home. He works very hard to provide for our family and we are SO appreciative.
I have been in a food co-op all summer. It is winding down now. We get produce through October 6th. I have loved being in the co-op. I have created new recipes, tried new recipes and learned a great deal about food storage for the winter. I has been SO fun!
Brady boy tore his ACL ...again... on the other leg. This time it is not as bad as last time. We are hoping to avoid surgery. Dr. Lee has been very thrilled with Brady's use of his leg and has been keeping a close eye on him.
We recently went to Nashville to see the NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS opening game. That was a fun get-a-way.
OK, that is all for now. I would say I will try to get better, but for right now... I am doing what I can. Love y'all. Thanks for checking in on this blog!
