Ok, at the request of my grandmother, I'm going to blog today. I haven't forgotten about this, just have had many other things going on since the last time I wrote!
Me: I interviewed at two school districts and was hired in Exeter Township School District as a full time 3rd grade teacher for next year. While I have loved my time home with Millie and have felt very blessed that I could be with her this whole year, I'm anxious and ready to get back in and do what I was made to do, TEACH! It was not my intention to be home for this year, but I'm glad it worked out that way. But here goes nothing, diving in head first to a small room, no supplies, new standards, and all new co-workers. It should make for an interesting adventure! I'm excited that I will be working with third graders because I love that age, they still have a hunger for learning and like to come to school! (Not to mention they think the world of their teacher! You are still cool!) I promise to get you some before and after pictures of my classroom once I can get in to work. Another project of mine has been our veggie garden. Last year we planted the seeds right in the ground, well rocks, and didn't get anything. This year Joe put together some raised beds and I started my seeds inside and my garden is doing great. We have corn, green beans, peppers, squash, lettuce, broccoli, onions, and peas planted. So far I have picked some peas and squash but everything is looking great!

Joe: Joe has been busy at work, it seems like they always have a new job lined up when they finish one, thank goodness! He has been working hard around the house to help make it feel more like our own. We finished our deck, added some new flower beds, bought some more furniture, and did some painting. There are always projects to be done when you own a home!
Millie: Can you believe it, she is going to be ONE in just a couple weeks!!!!!!!! We are busy planning her first trip to Ocean City and her first birthday party. Of course we are anxious to celebrate with all our friends and family the fact that we have kept her alive and healthy for A WHOLE YEAR!!!!!! She still only has 2 teeth and is doing a great job figuring out how to eat with only two of them! She loved to eat whatever Mommy is eating and will often try what we are having for dinner. She is cruising around using furniture or the walls to hold herself up, but hasn't taken any step of her own yet. She will stand on her own but sits down after a few seconds. She is such a good baby and is always happy, she has started this thing where she smiles, crinkles up her nose, and snorts like a pig! What a goof ball! She just wants to be outside and enjoys her pool and going on her swing set. We recently took a trip down to Atlantic City to visit with my cousin and her Godmother Maria! We had a lot of fun!
