Y'all when I say things got busy, I really mean it! One reason I found it so hard to juggle the blog (and my sanity) was that B always had ear infections as a baby so we NEVER slept. He finally got tubes...Hooray but his sleep patterns were terrible by that point. Teaching with no sleep, then finding out we were expecting Charlotte when B was about 8 months old tends to catch up with you...so I guess this is my apology for not keeping up with things...Originally, I wanted my blog to be a way to store memories for the kids...I will just have to do my best from this point on. There can't be much backtracking for me at this point. haha
Some people think it was totally insane to have our kids so close in age but as a teacher, we don't get much in the way of maternity leave so we planned her for as close to summer break as possible. May 24, 2013 Charlotte Jane arrived!
She is very feisty and has a strong will. We are now in the throws of the terrible twos. She has this one-eyed mean face she learned from Grammy. I will have to insert a picture of it because it is a sight to behold...
Currently, Russ moved from AUM as the Instructional Support Specialist for the School of Education and is now the District Technology Coordinator for Bullock County; which is just outside Montgomery in Union Springs, AL. It was such a blessing and awesome career move. He is working on his Ph.D at UA.
Me??? Well, I have been teaching at a private school in Montgomery for quite some time but recently took the plunge into public school this year. I have been working very hard on my classroom: Painting, laminating, cleaning, etc... Everyone has been so awesome and I already know a few teachers that work there. I am working on my masters for special education. Two semesters down, a million more to go! As far as hobbies are concerned, I have been chalk painting and distressing a ton this summer. I love it but kinda hard to find time with the "twin tornadoes." I also just got a new monogram machine. (Happy birthday to me). That hobby still needs some work, but I have one dress that turned out really cute. My next phase will be applique. Any advice is welcome. Pictures to follow of the kids...
