Catching UP

The last week has taken a lot of time.... I have had new things occupying my mind and time so that I didn't get a chance to really keep up with my blog. So, tonight I am catching up.

Last weekend was a big week in many lives. My newest niece, Fatena, had her baptism on Sunday. Doesn't she look like a little doll in this photo that her Mommy, Helen, sent us. All reports say that the baptism was a beautiful event and that Fatena loves water, so she didn't mind the water being poured on her head at all.


Here's another photo that her Mommy shared.... now, just what is that kid up to? She sure does have a mischevious grin....do you think she was rooting for the other team...heard Daddy's teams lost....hum?



On Saturday, I was at Belinda's baby shower.... I still haven't emailed James for some photos but I do have a couple.... Brandy and I decorated in a sports theme...check out our cool tables.




I had enough battery, after my camera rested, to get a shot of Olivia playing with the balloons after we cleaned up from the party. She had so much fun bouncing those balloons around.



This week was also the beginning of my teaching experience. It worried me to death last weekend and during the week because I really want to do a good job at this, but have no experience with it...but, I'm learning. I've come a long way with my plans this week....I discovered that if I choose lessons and activities that I am comfortable with, ones that suit my personality and style, then I am much less worried about the class....I'm still worried about the assessment form but I'm happy with my assignments....I'll get the assessment thing figured out....maybe even tomorrow....depends on the day.


I'm leaning toward a day of scrapping at the moment....that is one of my new year resolutions...to make time for scrapping.....for some reason, even though I love to do it, I always put it in last place on my things I can/should do list....


Russell was sick this week..some kind of stomach virus...first day of school that he has missed for illness since he moved in with us...and now George has it....he woke up feeling bad this morning....we drove to Jonesboro to pick up the mattress and spring set that was ordered for Henry (my father-in-law) for his birthday present.....


Now, that was my week in a nutshell....


This week brings new things as well.... The Board of Trustees will meet to name an interim president for us an a search committee for the new President....


Foreward Ho!
