On Your Marks...

I found this in my drafts. I never posted it. I thought it would be fun to post now. :) A Christine Entry:

"Oh you are just getting so big!"

"Did you swallow a watermelon seed or something?"

"You look even bigger today than yesterday!"

"Look how BIG you are!"

Only 79 days until our due date and we are finally starting to make some progress on preparing for the baby. PHEW!

We snagged ourselves a giant family sedan with a giant trunk for our giant stroller. :) we can't wait till our little guy is with us sitting in the back seat for our outings.

Work has started for me again and my adorable 2nd graders will be strolling into the classroom on Tuesday. I am VERY excited for school this year! Not only do I get to work with an awesome team (Stacey and Sara), but 2nd grade should be a blast. Yes, I am a little nervous about starting a new grade level...but as I tell my students, it's okay to be a little nervous because it means you care. Plus, I won't lie...THERE IS NO STATE TESTING IN 2nd GRADE! We all need a break from that aspect of school and this is mine. My plan is to mentally prepare my little sweethearts for testing to come, but more importantly...enjoy teaching and learning without as much pressure. :)

Some of you have asked about my work plans. I have every intention of working right up until our baby is born, but we will see where life takes us. :) I plan to take 12 weeks off with the babe and then come back to work to finish the school year. That's all for now. :)
