I'm Back!

Whew! I can't believe I haven't blogged since OCTOBER! So much has happened in the last few months. Remember my last post where I complained about everything? Things have completely turned around!

I never did get my purse back, but I have so many other things to be thankful for and I've learned that it was something pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. My co-worker that worked so very hard on that grant is a ROCKSTAR! We got it!! I honestly never thought I would receive something like that. Mrs. Other(Tall)SecondGradeTeacher and I will be pricing iPod Touches for our classrooms and hopefully going out to buy them soon!

Another very wonderful thing that has happened in the last few months is that our first nephew was born!! Lachlan was born on December 28. We were able to spend the whole weekend with the family. He is the most adorable little man I've ever seen! Okay, I might be a little biased, but see for yourself! This was the day he was brought home from the hospital.

What a handsome little guy, right?! :)

Another positive thing going on recently is that our progress reports are finally finished and turned in! I My computer only had problems with them three times. I only had to enter each and every grade for all of my 21 students three times. Blech! I'm so glad I don't have to do those again until April(ish).

Also, our bathroom remodel has FINALLY been finished. We had to get to our shower through my closet and that has to be put back together but at least the bathroom is done! We have been working on our house (updates, slight remodels, making it ours, etc.) since we bought it in July of 2010. The only room we didn't change in the main floor is our bedroom. All of the other rooms have had something done to them. I'll be posting our before and after pics soon!

I usually hate strongly dislike Sundays but our district has tomorrow off in honor of MLK! Hope you all have a wonderful Monday and thanks for stopping by to read my first post after a very long three month hiatus!
