Where has the time gone?


The latest photos of Eleanor and I. :)
Friday was Kentucky derby hat day at school, I found this hat and gussied it up with some of my hairclips, yeah nobody else had a kentucky derby type hat at school. :) Guess I am special.

Ah, my little Eleanor. She is so amazing. She will be turning 3 in a little over a month. We did potty training over spring break and it took like 2 days, then a week later I decided to put a little potty in her room so she could go at night instead of wearing a diaper and it worked. We are completely diaper free, it just floors me. She loves to sing and make up her own mixes of songs. On the way to church she sang yo ho ho I'm a pirate. She likes to mix in row row your boat. She can sing ring around the rosies super fast including the second verse and do the actions. :) She is a whiz at puzzles, her favorite is her princess puzzle. Takes her about 15 minutes. She loves to dance, twirl, and do balancing stuff. She is all about girly stuff. She can ride her bike or scooter around our block. And she is super happy and LOVES us. I love that she is a snuggler and a kisser. She makes me smile and teaches me so much patience. My awesome Eleanor.

It has been a busy spring. Warren was laid off and went back to school full time which was a big adjustment for him. He watches Eleanor 3 days a week and the other 2 days he goes to school and she goes to our friend Jackie(who is amazing). I've just been teaching away. Two of my schools finally figured stuff out and got me into a portable!! So now I teach 3 days a week in my own portable and 2 days on a cart, not too bad. :)

I was hired on as the new art teacher for Louis Wiener Elementary for next year! So excited to have my own room and we have been enjoying coming up with Wiener jokes. :)

Just found out I am pregnant. I'm at 6 weeks. I can't really celebrate or get all excited because I don't know if it will last or if I will lose this one too. We've decided that if I do lose it, this will be the last. I can't do that again. Otherwise, if everything is good we will have a baby sometime in the last week of December. We are hoping for that because I really want Eleanor to have a sibling, she is such an awesome kid I know she will be a great older sister. So I'm just trying not to think about it...

Whoo hoo only like 4 weeks of school left!!! I have some plans for fixing stuff up over the summer, working on my new art room, volunteering, working out , and hanging out at the pool.

I'll also be able to keep my blog a little more updated. :)
