Football in the South

There is nothing like watching some SEC football on a Saturday afternoon. Of course, in our household we are partial to the Georgia Bulldogs...and we are largely in the minority here in Vol country. That's OK with us! Every year I hope to see the Bulldogs play between the hedges. We'll see - maybe someday! It will be so fun when our children are old enough to go too and enjoy the spirit and the energy felt in a stadium on a fall day...until then, we will continue cheering from the comfort of our living room. This year we have the responsibility of raising the next generation of Georgia fans!

Life

I don't have any new pictures of Jonas so I decided to post one of him in the hospital. It is hard to believe that was only 8 months ago. Life sure has changed in so many ways for us over the past 8 months. I am back into the full swing of teaching again...this year I am teaching Kindergarten. Kindergarten is where my heart is...I am enjoying this year (already) so much more than last year. I have a great team of Kindergarten teachers who are so supportive and encouraging. Also, it is the first time in my adult life I have worked at the same job for more than one year. I must say it is nice to know the ropes. Learning new routines, procedures, people, and curriculum can wear a person out. I am looking forward to a great year with my students. There will be lots of laughter and lots of tears - oh...and lots of early nights and even earlier mornings. God has blessed me so much and I am thankful to have to opportunity to work with the students He has brought into my life this year.
On another note, Jonas is getting his 4th tooth, crawling (officially), and pulling up on things! He is so proud of himself! (and we are too!)
