Brain Break Needed!

A lot has changed since last I blogged. I was reassigned to another school, then to another class within that school. I am the assistant to a pilot program at my school. We are a bi-literacy class, focused on teaching the kids to read and write in both English and Spanish. Some of these kids are picking up on things so quickly! It's helping my own Spanish-speaking skills! The teacher I'm assigned to is absolutely wonderful! We laugh daily, and always find lots to talk about. She is all about the kids, and comes in almost every weekend to plan for them. Because of this, and at the urging of our lead teacher, I have decided to take the exam to become certified in Elementary Education. Never in a million years did I ever think I'd go in this direction!

On the homefront, Kiersten has moved schools to be with me, and Nolan is now in an in-home daycare. We absolutely love Mrs. Sandy! She's quickly become a friend, and we could talk for hours, if we didn't have our families to feed! 

Richard is still plugging away at Givens. His residents love him to pieces, and he has a brand new boss, who is much more approachable and amenable than the last. 

Kiersten had a blast at her birthday party. Nolan seems to be growing by the day. 

I hope to get back to experimenting in the kitchen soon, and to blogging on my LusLoft blog soon. Apple season is an inspiring one! I have lots pinned, including Richard's requested dessert, so be on the lookout for that next month, for certain!
