Not a Teacher Anymore

Well, I officially resigned from my job....although my "job" is no longer a teacher, I will still teach...

I will tutor kids.
I will teach Abby everyday.
I will continue to learn.
I will continue to tell pre-teen kids at Barnes and Noble that it is inappropriate to be looking at the sex books.
I will correct kids when they don't address adults properly.
I will teach kids how to hold the door open for others.


Really, to sum it all up, I will call kids out on their junk...It takes a community to raise a child and I will do that.  Sorry for those of you who are offended by this :)  Also, I want others to do this for me...So, when Abby is a teenager doing inappropriate things (which, by the way, she won't be), you better call her out on it if I am not there!

One of my littles on the last day of school....With Pam, the best person to job share with...

A note that made my day

just a note to say again - you are a fabulous mama!

i love how you balance the routine with going with the flow.

i love how chill you are about the little things that aren't all that important, but put a lot of effort into the ones that do.

and i love how you've been seeking out ways to keep your marriage growing and good.

 

i am so dad gum thankful for you i don't have the words!

and i love abby!!

(when my days are low, I look at this...Thank you friend).

4 months old

Our sweet girl is four months old already!  It is hard to believe it has gone by so quickly.

A few "Abby things"
1. She is almost too long for her swing.

2. She loves being outside with the wind blowing on her face.

3. She is starting to laugh.

4. She started playing in her new "discovery center" and loves it!

5. Her cheeks are super chubby and so are her legs

6. She eats about every 4 hours

7. She is starting to grab toys

She has her 4 month check up tomorrow, an eye appointment on Friday (her pediatrician recommended it based on her history), and her last neurologist appointment in COS on Thursday.  It is a big week of doctor's appointments.  

And now for picture overload...I love this kid!

Happy Anniversary!

For our anniversary we were blessed by the Boltons who watched Abby and we headed over to HIKE THE INCLINE!

Happy Anniversary Babe!

You can call him Captain!

Steve's commander saying some pretty awesome stuff about Steve's career and accomplishments....

 Pinning on new rank!

 A picture with the baby :) She dressed up for the occasion.

 Taking the oath.

After his promotion we had some military friends come over and celebrate with us.  It was a fun BBQ and Abby was tuckered out!

4 year anniversary!

I love you Steve....

To celebrate we hiked the incline and went to Garbanzos (thanks Boltons for watching Abby!)...

Steve had a softball game the night of our anniversary and Abby and I went to cheer on dad...It was a fun night.

The Incline

Christine is a super star friend and convinced me to do the incline.  Last time I did it, I was 10 or 12 weeks pregnant...It was hard then, and was still hard post baby

Christine hung in there with me though and stuck it out going slow with me :)  Her sister came from sea level and shot up to the top, no problem.  Made me feel like a big loser!

Steve wants to do the incline for our anniversary...What fun, huh?  More pictures to come!
