I'm Back!!!!

Hello fellow bloggers! I'm finally back :) Did you miss me? I missed you. I can sit here and make up lots of excuses of where I've been, but you've heard them all before: work, family, work, family. See I told you you've heard it :) Life is just as it always is...."never dull!" The boys are keeping us busy and you know I never post without the words, "they are growing so fast!"
I just completed the first 9 weeks of school. I've had my hands full with a student of mine. Well not just me, but me and my fellow colleagues. They are GREAT and I don't know how I would have gotten through without them. Fortunately, on Friday we placed this student at a school with a more structured environment. He definately needed it and I think it will be good for him, for me and for my other 21 kiddos :) It was a "Cowabunga 9 weeks!"

HaHa! How do you like my costume? Friday was our school's annual Monster Mash and to promote it and get the kids excited, the teachers get to dress up. My team was the Ninja Turtles! It was very fitting, because we do feel like we are fighting some challenges these days :0
I dragged the family back out that night and we had a "monster" of a time!

On the way we picked up Snake Eyes and Spiderman!





We dropped David off at a party that night. He seems to be getting "too cool" for us these days.



But occassionaly he's still that Big Brother the boys look up to:)



As for "Big Papa" atleast thats what Dave likes to refer himself to, he's been busy with work. He's been traveling out of town a little more often and will leave again next month for another grand opening. He's moving his way up there, meeting the "right" people and hopefully one day he'll get his own store :)
We are all doing GREAT! The Lord continues to bless us, keeps us safe, healthy and happy! Look for more posts coming up. I have lots of pics to share :) Have a good week!
