Well, it has been a very nice, relaxing (as much as it can be with two under two) summer but it is now time to head back to work! I am really excited about starting the new school year for many reasons. First and foremost, it's always fun to meet your students for the first time and everyone is usually fairly excited about being there. Two, I have a student teacher this year so it will be nice to "share the load!" And three, I am teaching English IV dual credit as well as two other college classes this fall! I'm super-psyched about these new experiences and am grateful to have this door open in my life.
On to the boys: Kaden turns two August 16th and is having a John Deere themed birthday party. When I ask him what he wants for his birthday, his only response is, "John Deere tractor cupcakes!" He sure knows how to make it easy on Mom and Dad! :) Noah is getting into everything now; he can crawl and pull up and so he is constantly getting himself hurt. He doesn't understand that the metal rim of the coffee table is NOT a teether, and is often hurting himself on it. Noah was 7 months on August 4th and is growing, growing, growing...He wears 12 month clothing and has pretty much given up baby food. He loves vanilla wafers, animal crackers, fruit cocktail and pretty much anything he can pick up and put in his mouth. Big brother is so helpful (sometimes a little TOO helpful) with Noah and I can tell he's going to be a great companion and example for little No-no!
Other than that, Ben leaves for St. Joseph, Missouri where he will start his Agent-In-Training program September 8th. This is an 8-week program but he'll be home on week-ends. For one of the weeks, though, he'll be in Madison, WI. He's excited to see his fam while he's up there!
Please give us a call or drop us a line sometime! We love to hear from our friends and family!
