New Job and Puppy

Dear all:

I have 2 pieces of good news!  After much searching and interviewing I finally have my first teaching job!  In August I will start at Taylor Road Middle School teaching 4 classes of life science and 1 class of earth science.  I am so excited!  Taylor Road was one of my top picks, it is very nearby and has great reviews.  It is about 2 miles from Shawn's school to give you a reference point.  I have started to buy supplies for my classroom and content specific books, I'm so excited! (and a bit nervous) This week we have added another addition to our family, our new puppy!  Her name is Luna and she is 8 weeks old.  I love her so much already but she is exhausting.  Roy and I have not slept through the night since we brought her home, and during the day she loves to get into trouble.  I feel like I blink and she's gotten into something else!  She is a whirlwind of energy but we believe that she will make the perfect companion for our older dog, Blue.  They already love to play together, I know that they will be inseparable soon.  I will keep you updated as she grows, right now she is 7.2 pounds.  The breeder thinks that she will hit 50 pounds once she is full grown.  Can't wait to see the dog she changes into! 

Lucky 7

Seven is today's magic number!

I'm feeling great, gaining weight and am a happy little man.

I'm eating cereal once a day and have cut down to only drinking 4 times per day.  I tried peas with no complaints.  Today, I'm going to try carrots. 

I'm still working on sitting up all by myself, but I'm getting closer and closer to independence.   

I love talking and screaming.  I also enjoy cooing.  Some times, it sounds like I'm doing a bird call. 

I like to go swinging on the swing set.  Playing peek a boo is super fun too.  I'm still a huge fan of stroller rides.    

               

Way to go Evelyn!

We have another 2014 graduate!  Evelyn graduated from preschool on Sunday.
The theme was The United States of America.  All the classes sang a song naming the 50 states.   Each class recited a popular piece of American history and sang a song.
Evelyn's class recited part of the Gettysburg Address and sang God Bless America.
