The Summer of Family
Every summer, since I began teaching, it feel like I have been
involved in some sort of professional development, whether it be
committee work, continuing education, or work on my master's degree.
This summer, for the first time that I can remember, I am taking the
summer off! Yes! You are reading correctly! Everything has been sent
in for my teaching license renewal, so I don't NEED any professional
development. This is why I've made the decision to fall back, renew,
and re-energize by spending time with family!
The first step was this past weekend, when I made an impromptu visit to see our son who is three hours away. It was heavenly! The time was short because he was in a golf tournament. Some time is better than no time and I loved seeing him. He is always so full of fun!!
This next weekend, I will be traveling to TX to see our oldest daughter and her family. I will be able to watch our amazing granddaughter play softball and then spend the following week taking her to and from Bible School, something that has become a tradition with us! <3
The weekend after I am in TX, our daughter, who works for Habitat for Humanity, in GA, is coming home because she wants "to spend he quarter-of-a-century birthday with the people who gave her life!" How awesome is that?!? I'm going to help her drive back and spend a few days with her after her visit with us.
On July 5th, our beautiful granddaughter is coming to spend a week with us! I will firm up those plans while I'm in TX. :)
The one of the last two weekends in July, our son and his girlfriend are coming here for a visit!
The first weekend in August, my husband and I will celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary!
School resumes, for teachers, on August 12th.

The End of Another School Year
The end of anything is always difficult. I've watched my kindergarten babies grow from all-about-me, shy, or scared children to kind, confident, compassionate little people. The transformation in many of them over the course of a school year is mind-boggling, even after 29 years in Early Childhood Education! Once again, my heart of full with the memories of 27 beautiful, unique children.
