Oh, sweet blog reading friends, thank you very, very much for your warm wishes for my first day of school. This first week is preparation and meetings. The students don't start school until Monday. My room is very bare now, but I am working at feathering it all up for the kids' arrival next week. Several times during the day yesterday I thought, "It's as if I never left this place!" It's my seventh year of teaching. I am still a newbie.
You are so nice, so thoughtful and empathetic. I am feeling all those prayers and good wishes. It feels SO good to know that kind people are thinking about me. THANK YOU.

It's our Finnegan's second birthday! Happy Birthday, Finn! He is two years old today! I wish I could see him, but I must wait until Saturday. He's coming for lunch and bringing his family (smile!) and we shall have a picnic, roar around the yard and celebrate Finn. He's our only grandson. When Millie arrives in December, we will have six granddaughters and FINN! He's a prince.
Birdie got a new bike yesterday! She's so happy. Look at Miss Bug. She has baby doll in hand, no shoes, just her diaper. She is a good sport and was quite supportive of her sister as she watched from her little red rider.
This isn't the best picture, but these guys were jumping on top of a loaded wagon of tree scraps when I drove by the other day. They were having so much fun up there. They were kind enough to smile for my camera. So, I hope to jump into my school day today, peacefully learning new things (Thinking Map training this morning) and readying my room for one hundred 13 and 14 year old souls. Thank you for checking in and thank you for caring. (BIG HUG AND SQUEEZE!)
