It's official...

I got my letter of intent last Wednesday and then was approved for employment on the 14th at the school board meeting. I'll be teaching 3rd grade for the 2012-2013 school year. (same as where I am currently).

I have asked the Lord to bring me joy in this transition and He has. I'm anxious to get this school year over with so I can enjoy my babies. I've missed them to bits. We will enjoy every minute of my 9 weeks off and then jump feet first into a new school year. If I can't be at home (where my heart desires to be) then the 2nd best place is at school with them. And who better to take care of Red? Boppy and Nana of course! Win-win!

My new favorite numbers!

Baseball is in full swing again. No tee this time. Cameron was OVER that after the first game last year. So coach pitch it is. The boys love it!! I'm not going to lie, I stand a little taller when Cannon gets up to bat and the coach moves the players back. The boy can hit! Yes he's at least a foot taller than the others, but he has a true passion for baseball. Cameron has passed along his love of the game to Cannon. Mason on the other hand is still trying to see how far he can toss his glove into the air.

Potty Training...

Isn't going so well...

And so it begins...

Lots of work ahead. 8 years worth of life to pack up. The not so fun part of moving. Ha!

From this...

...to this.

An old shirt/jacket that had shrunk in the wash. Up cycled into a scarf. I added more ruffles with another shirt to make it fuller.

Easy peasy!

Sew Easy

I got this idea off pinterest last week and had to try it. It is so rediculously easy that I plan to use this tutorial to teach Gracelyn to sew. Straight lines, minimal thinking, perfect. I made 3 in about 20 minutes.

Headband tutorial...

(I'm using my phone so there are minimal editing buttons). Gracelyn loved hers. Mine had to be made thinner. We loved them!

10:52 Be Still

"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 42:10

Only God could produce something as magnificent as this. Holding a newborn makes you be still and reflect on His glory.
