Teacher/mom

So, for those of you who don't know, I am teaching again. I wasn't planning on teaching this year, until I got the phone call. Hass, my teaching partner, called me a few days before school started and asked if I would like to teach with her again. My first reaction was, "not really." But when I got thinking about it, I thought it was something I really should consider. Well, a month and a half later here I am teaching and being mom. I couldn't be happier doing two things I LOVE.

Haas and I are connected at the hip. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I watch her two girls in the morning while she is teaching our class. Then, I bring them to school with me, and we do a trade off in the parking lot. She takes them home to her house and I teach the afternoon. It is a bit hectic at times, but it works.

I am super grateful to be teaching, for my wonderful Momma Jones, and Jill for watching Oli on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a husband who is so supportive, my teaching partner Haas, and especially my loveable munchkin Oliver. I think I am the luckiest mom alive. He brings so much joy into my life every day. I AM SO BLESSED.




This is Lucy (almost 4) and Ruthy (6 months) who I watch Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Of course, they are modeling my hats.





On Fridays, I also watch Jade who is in kindergarten. It is fun to watch Oliver have little buddies to play with. He follows Lucy around everywhere. How cute are they????

COUSINS

My sister Jamie and her boy Jack came to visit us. It is so much fun to have them around. I wish they lived closer. We took Oli and Jack to the airport where Brad took them in an airplane. They bothed loved it. We also went to the Discovery Gateway children's museum. That place is so cool. Jack was all about the balls exhibit and thr cars (typical boy).

I'm going to Jackson

We went to Jackson Lake last weekend with the McQueen's. Everytime I go to Jackson, I am amazed at the beauty. The Tetons are unreal. We had a blast water skiing and hanging out with family. My leg is finally healing and I was able to ski -Wahoo! While we were in Jackson I couldn't help but feel so blessed. It doesn't get better than being in an amazing place with people you love.
