Jack was not in CA this week, so our pictures are a little different b/c I had a neighbor take them for us! This time in my jeans.

GV Staff Christmas Party - December 12, 2008

Here are many of the people I love to work with every day! They are phenomenal people with hearts of compassion and care, amazing intelligence and commitment to kids and a bright future for all of us. I miss their camaraderie and insight already.

Plus, they are really fun!

Here is our amazing principal!

My friend Jill is expecting her 2nd baby, a girl, a few days before Bacon's due date!

Last Week @ GV- December 8-12

Although I was officially "done" on the 5th, I spent another week at school in the back of our class packing up, tying up loose ends and being there for Melissa, although she barely needed me. The kids were so mature and respectful to her and the transition was seamless. I was so proud of my class and thankful for the amazing women I work with. Thanks to Melissa, Norma and Debbie I could begin our new adventure without worrying about anything at school.

Goodbye CA Party -December 5, 2008

We had a wonderful time with friends and told them how much we love them. I regret that I didn't start taking pictures earlier. Here are some friends I captured.

The Sullivans

The McCullums

The Andersons (my Dad, Brother and Sister-In-Law)

Ben, Bull and Jen

The Langstaffs- All THREE of them, with all THREE of us!

Room 5 Baby Shower - December 4, 2009

The wonderful families in my class threw an amazing baby shower for me on my second-to-last official day of school at Green Valley!

Heather and many others brought food and gifts as well as lots of laughs and good wishes for our family. Here I am recounting a story with the Moms as the kids are doing a project with Mrs. Ninekirk.
Super cute deco!

Our class made us the greatest touch and feel book with descriptions of each material and animal on the facing page. It is ADORABLE and Bacon is going to love it!

Rodeo outfit-fitting for TN!

WOW! A jogging stroller!
Thank you for your generosity families!

OOH! Me with all the kiddos I love and miss so much! It was a fun day!

This was a very special day for me because I got to spend it enjoying these women and kids that I adore!
