Afraid of Change...

I have seen so many very cute back grounds for blogs...but I am scared to try any because I don't want to lose anything on the side bars. I don't know if you have to save them to something? Who knows...is there anyone out there that could help me? I really would like to take just a beginner's class to understand how to change things with blogs and what nots! HELP!

One Week Down...

Well, school has been back in session for one week. This school year, I am working as a Title 1 aid in kindergarten. I have been assigned at the school where I taught KinderClub for several years. It is so nice going back into a building that I am already familiar with the staff and many of the students. Can I just say...WOW...there are so many little, curious & busy 5 year olds intrusted into our care this school year. It is always a bit rough at the beginning of the year because...face it...they are 5 years old and many have not been in a structured learning environment before. The class that I am in there are 28 children...and the teacher and I barely have time to breathe. Each day we see such an improvement in each thing we do during the day. I would not change what I was doing at this time...it is nice to know where I will be each day...and soon I hope to know what responsibilities I have each day! Hope those of you who have children starting school that it has been a smooth transition. Can't wait for the Oylimpics to be over so that I can get to bed at a decent hour! Happy Wednesday!

We are home...

Hello! We made it home about 3:30 AM this morning. We were in bed at 3:45 AM...the I was up at 6:15 AM today for the first day of school. Damon also went back to work today...we will not take such late flights again. We are so tired. I am sure that as soon as Damon gets home from work, we will maybe have dinner and go right to bed. Oh, it was so nice to sleep for a couple of hours in our own bed last night. Bless my mom for making early morning, and late night runs to Chicgao to drop us off and pick us up. We had a nice time with Damon's family...but it is really nice to be home. More later...can't keep the eyes open!

Just an update...

We arrived safe and sound...but late to Portland yesturday. We went to bed so early...and it is all we can do to keep our eyes open tonight. We at least have to go to bed when it is dark...We will post later in the week.

Leaving on a jet plane...

We are heading to the Northwest early tomorrow morning. We will be visiting Damon's biological family. His mom was very generous to buy us tickets this spring...I am sure that I will be able to update while we are gone. One highlight of the trip is going to the Roloff's Farm {Little People, Big World, TLC Channel} D has some friends that live nearby...so they are going to take us there...I will at elast get a picture of the sign...

Today I have been getting ready...laundry, cleaning, packing...all that fun stuff! Anyway...have a great week!

Going Down Memory Lane....

Tomorrow my sister, her partner, and I are traveling to Huntington to show Zoe around our own stomping ground...looking forward to being there again. We are just going to see the sites. My mom and I will be down in Huntington later in the month for a wedding reception...OH...I remember holding this young lady when she was just days old! Have a fantastic weekend...
