Special visitors

Kayla had to take the baby home this week for parenting class.  I got some good laughs in.  It is much more realistic than the egg I had to take home and I sure am glad I am done having babies!

The babies hatched at the high school…

A cute puppy came to visit…

Students at the middle school know me well…

A couple other items of interest…

Mike Ritland, author of Navy SEAL dogs, wrote me back and said he would be more than happy to do an author visit with his dogs! I 'm so excited I can hardly stand it!  I will call him this week to set it up.

I signed up all of my students for a summer reading program.  I have partnered with the public library and we are reading with the global scholastic team to try and break the world record at 200 million minutes!  The Anamosa paper is coming in the morning to cover our kick-off.  Nervous but excited.

Mormon prom

Kayla went with her friends to Mormon Prom on Friday night and she was stunningly beautiful!!

More Chicago…

Chicago: Museum of science and industry and Sears tower

Happy 21st Anniversary!!

Bob and I celebrated our 21st anniversary this week.  It is crazy to think it has been that long and how wonderful it has been!  We went to Olive Garden one night and Fiesta del sol for dinner on another day!

We finished Tyler’s room and it I think it looks so cool.  Also including Alaynas that is coming along slowly.

(Hard to see the color but its beautiful mint green!)

I had a special visitor in my library this week…

And Spring is finally here!!!

PS- Tennis

I forgot to add in the blog that Kayla had her 1st meet this week and won!  Go Kayla!

“Signs” of progress?

Happy Easter to everyone!  Marisa, I am sure your Easter box will arrive by July 4th for you

We have been busy still working on the house.  Tylers room is now pretty much done except the Batman wall.
