Wheels on the Bus

This is by far Addy's favorite song... I cannot tell you how many times we have read the book, sang the song, listened to it on CD, and watched it on video. It never fails, she still gets extremely excited every time it comes on. Here is a video of her doing a few of the motions... she knows them all.

Summer Sisters!

So I love being a teacher for many reasons, but I especially love it in the summer when we have three months off work! Having wonderful friends to share the time with makes it even better. Diggy, Cabe, Laura, Spry, and I have been summer sisters ever since our sophomore year in college and we stayed for summer school and really bonded. Cabe, Diggy, and I have continued this tradition since we all work for the school system. We plan trips to Diggy's cabin on Harstine, summer projects, and lazy summer fun. It doesn't matter what we do as long as we are together! Laura was able to join us when she worked for Edmond's School District but since her recent move to SF it is harder for her to hang out. This year an old summer sister came back, Spry joined us on our trips to Harstine and we LOVED it. I love summers off, and having fun girls to enjoy it with makes it even better. I hope we continue this tradition every summer. I look forward to more adventures!

We're Back!

We have returned from our trip from Cabo. We had a great time celebrating the Bartheld's nuptials. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, the weather was sunny, the resort was beautiful, lots of friends, and fun times. It was great to get away with Matt for a few days but Addy is definitely making us pay for leaving her behind. We know she had a fun time with her cousins but ever since we returned she is extremely clinging and seems worried that we are going to leave her again. Hopefully a weekend of staying home and lots of attention will make her snap out of it.

Here is a link to our web album if you would like to see photos from the trip. Enjoy!
