Catching up...

So I have been checking out teacher blogs and thought I should maybe get back to our own family blog. It's only been about 2 years since my last blog entry:) Since then we have had an addition to our family. Since Facebook arrived, it seems that all anyone does. I will still keep FBing but I wanted to keep families up to date on the goings on with us and the kiddos.

Speaking of which....
Ryan and Jakob are now both attending the same school as myself. This has actually been very nice. I love that I am more involved with the boys schooling and can talk with their teachers at virtually any time. I think the boys have enjoyed it as well. I'm sure there will be times when it isn't so cool for them (Ryan told me I was embarrassing him when I delivered his water bottle he left in my classroom:) ) but for the most part the pros outweigh the cons.

In December when I came down with pneumonia and was hospitalized, my colleagues and friends rallied around and took care of all my boys. They even took up a collection since I was on leave without pay - extreme generosity and another example of how the Lord takes care of his children.

Eli is the newest addition I haven't blogged about yet. He is quickly coming up on his first birthday!!! He just fell asleep next to me so now I can write. I'll write more about him soon. I love him to death and the bigger boys are so good with him. It's so sweet to see them together. Soon I'll have some fun photos to add.

I'm thinking of redesigning this blog and make it a bit more interesting. I am also considering beginning a teacher blog. I am new to teacher blogs but am so IN LOVE with them! There are so many fabulous teachers out there and it is inspiring to share ideas and keeps the fun in teaching! I see many are making money on the side by selling their lessons. I'm thinking this is a great idea to offset some of what I spend on buying things for my classroom:)

That's all for now....hopefully my next blog won't be too far in the future:)
