Hello loyal blog readers! I am announcing that Spring is indeed here...I have
new patio furniture that I adore..and we sat outside every day last week..and this week winter is visiting. Back in the day, ( I learned this while visiting a plantation home) they would greet you with a pineapple when you arrived and then place a pineapple at the foot of your bed when your welcome was over and it was time for you to hit the road.. WINTER, here is your pineapple..now leave please.
On to updates:
Let's start with my favorite subject..ME!!
I am just fingerprints away from getting my Temporary Teaching certificate for Texas. I have to take two test within the next year to get certified in Early Childhood-4th grade. I am very excited to get back in the classroom. I will be over the moon excited if it works out to be with Avery at school as well. NOT teaching her just being near her. We have to go to storage to search for my birth certificate and SS card this weekend. In Texas, a valid LA license isn't an acceptable form of identification...who knew? I thought LA was part of the USA...guess not. My first test is May 3. I am going to have to study for this one..its been a long time since college...
I went to a
Mom's Night Out event this past Wednesday...we had hibachi food..it was so nice to get out without any kids..or husband (though I love them dearly) Girl time is nice... I was even scandalous and treated myself to a latte before coming home. :)
Onto Avery and Andrew:
Avery started swim school @
Emler swim school..VERY awesome place! Her teacher, Mrs. Lisa is great with her. There are 2 other girls during her class time..so just 3 kids total. Avery is now putting her face underwater for a 10 count. The entire pool is surrounded by plexi-glass windows so we (Andrew and I) get to watch Avery throughout the entire lesson. This was my biggest issue with swim lessons back home..I couldn't hand my Avery over to a stranger and just walk away...gave me panic attacks just thinking about it.
Avery has memorized over 20 scripture verses in
Awana this year. She picks them up in 10 minutes flat.
Avery is constantly writing, cutting and taping things. Her creations can easily take over her room in one day's time.
So it may be a little early to think about this...but for you grandparents who are wondering what to get AG for her birthday...more swim lessons and all kinds of craft supplies would be a giant hit!
Andrew..who is 5 months old now..it doing just fine. He is blowing raspberries..all day! He tasted sweet tea today...and pulled my hair to get closer to the glass. LOVED IT! The boy loves Kramer and Avery...he laughs every time he sees them. We certainly are blessed with another laid back child.. On Wednesday, we had grumpy baby Andrew and realized just how good he is normally. He is very, very ticklish. I love this little boy so much...he is such snuggle-bunny! We registered Andrew at
The Primrose School for the fall. It is crazy expensive but really nice. I think he will love it there!
Kenny is doing awesome too. He is teaching Sunday School @
church for 6 weeks on Colossians. He finally got his 6 month review and got a great review from his boss. He enjoys his
job and usually very busy so his days go by quickly. Now if he could just get me to do ALL the laundry his life would be perfect... :)
The Hebert's are visiting next weekend while I take senior pictures of Jake..then the kids and I are going to the beach for Easter.
Take care guys!
