Beauty

My gratitude moment for the day:
Opening up the curtains in the kitchen to see the rising sun steaming in. Watching Jay discover his shadow on the wall. Playing with the image of himself and moving the cereal box around on the table to see what would happen. Capturing the image as best I could.

Spring Break


Just hanging out, watching Saturday morning cartoons.

We've had a cold spring break! I was able to get some time off while Nick has been on break. We have been looking forward to getting outside, but the weather has not cooperated! We haven't done anything really special. We've just been enjoying our time off together. Nick and Jay have been a little under the weather with colds/ strep throat and I didn't feel good yesterday. Grandma and Grandpa Hoover came over on Wednesday with their new iPhones and iPad so we were able to show them a few tricks on how they work.

My school workload has been a big stressor the last couple of weeks, so I am very happy that I've had this time to get ahead on a lot of assignments. There are only 4 weeks left in the semester and my instructors have both jammed them full of big projects. I think I still have to write 12 lesson plans, give two presentations, and then teach two class periods of 7th grade Literacy for my practicum.

Phone photo catch up

I have been a bit overwhelmed lately with no sign of a let up. Thought I should at least post a few pictures. Remember to click on the pictures to get a better resolution.

Just a genuine smile, goofing around at a restaurant.

The mantle is all done!
