Mommy's Job!

As most of you have seen on the news my school is at risk for consolidation. This is very complicated for me. I have a contract so I am guaranteed a job. The only problem is I am not sure where. Decatur or Gentry? You see I am actually employed at Gentry but work at Decatur. So if Decatur gets consolidated somewhere else, I won't be there.

You all know that I love my school and my kids so please pray for me that this will all work for the best interest of everyone involved.

The Zoo comes to an End!!!

Sleeping baby. The zoo is a very exciting place. She was able to take about a 10 minute nap before some screaming children woke her up.

Our child is very spoiled and we realize that. BUT, Dr. Harmon says nothing before the age of 9 months spoils a child? We visited the gift shop and there was a wall full of stuffed animals. As the paranoid parents that we are, we are looking for one that is somewhat baby proof. They have one ---- a lion with a rattle so I lean over to look at it and Addie grabs this Tiger and stuffs it in her mouth.

Later, Jeremy says to Addie, "What is this Tiger's name?"
Addie looks right at Jeremy and says, "GEE"
So this is Gee the Tiger and we all love her a lot and our happy to have her in our family.

Summer Learning

Here we are learning about monkeys. There was a cute baby monkey and mommy in front of us. Then we saw a hurt monkey, a monkey peeing and two monkeys participating in intercourse! It was very educational in the monkey area that day!














Here is Addie with Daddy learning about rhinos. The rhino made a big mess in the mud and was having a hard time standing up. It had stormed the night before and was cloudy this morning so all the animals felt great and were out and about.

Ready for the Zoo!

Here is Addie in her zebra print hat and her Wild Thing zebra onesie ready for the zoo!!!


















This is my new favorite picture of Addie. She was staring at flamingos!













This is the first animal Addie saw at the zoo. I swear the lady said it was called a "blue tailed skank" ????

Addie doing a little reading

Most of you are aware of Jeremy and his hobbies.
Well this is a picture, Miss Addie in the hotel reading the latest edition of the White Dwarf magazine.

My First Vacation!!

Since this year brought a baby, we knew that we would not be able to travel far. So we decided to take a few small trips. This last weekend we went to Kansas City. Neither of us had ever been there just traveled through. We spent the night in Overland Park, Kansas at the Marriott-Courtyard which was super nice and very affordable.

This was Addie's first night in the hotel on vacation. We went to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. Addie found lots of small children there that she wanted to play with. We tried mashed potatoes for the third time and continued to gag
on them. I am not sure what is up with that.

So then since we let her stay up way past her bedtime, she wouldn't sleep in the pack 'n play. Jeremy and I fell asleep with this adorable little monster between us spinning in circles and singing herself to sleep.

My Papaw and Jeremy's Grandad would tell stories about how we were crazy sleeping buddies, well Addie must have inherited that from both of us!!!

Stay At Home Dad

I asked Jeremy to take some pictures of Addie during the day while I am gone! This is what I ended up with. The first week we were out of school was my birthday week and I stayed home with Addie but then I started to work part-time. I am working 9-2 at school, two days a week and then 9-6 two days a week for a friend in Fayetteville. Not really part-time. Anyways, Jeremy is a stay at home dad and is loving it. This makes me appreciate my school set up so much because the two days I am away from all day with no visits are very long!!!
