So, I am definately new to this and I think that I will get better as time goes on how to run this thing. I also think I will get better at updating this when I am done teaching 2nd grade. Don't get me wrong, I love teaching and I love the kids in my class, but it has been really hard to be a mom and teach full time. I will be done in May because Jason will FINALLY be done with school. All I have to say is that I will be CELEBRATING when I get to stay home. It has been really hard leaving Elly everyday and taking her to different places. I feel like I am missing all the little things she learns how to do everyday. I am always glad to come home and get her. I am especially excited when she starts smiling at me. I know that she knows who I am. I do have to say that is the highlight of my life.

Ok...enough about that...I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner and Elly is 5 months old. It takes so long for babies to get here and then they grow up so quick. I am excited for the Christmas break first of all for a break from my kids at school and second some much needed rest and relaxation. It will be a good break.
