Do What You Love...

...and love what you do.

To many I am probably a bore these days. On my blog, I post pictures of my kids. On Facebook, I post pictures of my kids. When you call me, I tell you about my kids. It's interesting, teacher turned mommy. When Kelsey was born, I felt I had a decision to make. For so long "my kids" were "my students". If you knew me a long time ago, I was a bore then too! I had a scrapbook of teaching memories. If you called me, I told you about "that one who..." If you stopped by on a Saturday night I was preparing lessons for the following week. I actually agonized over the decision of career, mommy, career, mommy. Then it hit me, why couldn't I do both? It was at that moment that I decided to "do what I love" and on some days, you know those days ;-)... I need to remind myself to "love what I do".  So each day as I am awakened too early by the crunch of the carpet as tiny feet approach, I am reminded that I have been given the most amazing gift...the gift to teach, the gift to teach my three little miracles who surprise me every day.

So if you peak into my windows and see me dancing, singing, chasing, crawling, cleaning, cooking, painting, hiding, seeking, sorting, drawing, know that I am doing what I love and I am loving what I do!

And so to not disappoint...more pictures!

 

Zach Crawls

I love looking back and comparing milestones among the troops! Below are the crawling stats. Remember that Julia had hip dysplasia probably causing her to be a bit behind the others!

Kelsey-nearly 8 months
Julia-9.5 months
Zach-7.5 months

Where's Zachary?

He is so funny. He's not crawling yet, but you can see that he isn't having any problems getting around!

"Hey Batter-Batter"

Cleats, bat, helmet and ball...oh my! I am thinking I am going to let Michael take the lead on this t-ball stuff. Too much work as far as I'm concerned. She did pretty good. She has been sick this week and it was freezing tonight so I think she got wiped out halfway through. Didn't help that Julia was kicked back eating loads of snacks! We'll see how next week goes!
