Entering the workforce...

Greetings all!!

Well today is Monday Jan 26th and I think that in the next few days/weeks I will be going back to work. It is very bittersweet and I have good days and bad days. I am going to be taking a position teaching a Kindergarten class in a private school, it is the job I have always wanted, and the one I intended to get since starting college. I am really excited because I will work with a really experienced teacher in the am and go it alone in the pm, so I can learn from her and also utilize my own ideas. I think that it will be really great. I am sad too, I really love being at home with my baby and I am so afraid I will miss those all important moments, but I think that we both need to get out more. Savannah will go with me and stay in the toddler class 2 or 3 days a week and get to play with some other kiddos, and the other days she will stay with Grandma Kim. I am tearing up right now just talking about it but it needs to be done for the good of the household and maybe we will have a little extra cash for some fun stuff!! Wish me Luck, and if anyone has any reassuring words to a mommy about to leave her baby - I'd appreciate them!!!

Savannah Dancing and "One"

Savannah is really starting to dance! Notice how halfway through she looks to see if anyone is watching. Also, she is going to be one soon so we are practicing!

Catching up

Hey everyone! It has been awhile since I have posed anything but it has been crazy for the past month! I will go back to Christmas and reflect...

Christmas Eve was great, we spent time with Stephen's family and had a great time opening presents and hanging out. It was such a different experience this year. Having Savannah really does change everything. I used to look forward to my gifts etc.. and this year after it was all said and done I really had no idea what I got because I was so excited for her and how she liked everything! On Christmas we wet over to my parents and spent time with them. We leisurely opened presents and snacked, it was really fun. I do have to say I received a new cutting machine for scrapbooking and card making and I am so excited about it, so hopefully I will be able to make even better cards etc.. 

The day after Christmas my grandparents came in from Missouri and we spent some time with them. However, we did not get to spend as much time as we would have liked to because a terrible flu had been going around and my grandmother fell victim to it. I am very glad that they came out and got to spend a little time with us and Savannah! 

Last week we drove down to Texas to help out with Stephen's Uncle, Kendall. He was in the hospital for awhile with and infection and needed knee surgery, and once he was able to come home he needed help recovering. We stayed for a week and he made wonderful progress while we were there, so we are hoping that he will continue to make great progress.( A little prayer always helps!) Well, I suppose that just about covers it. We also took Savannah to the stock show, and she loved the animals, but was a little tired, so we might try again when she is rested!
