Long Week

So you'll have to forgive teh long post this week as it has been a long one. So much has happened. John Michael started school on Monday and had a really good week. He seems to really like his teacher and she him. I also started working again this week. It has been really fun getting back to work but not having worked full time in a while I was quite exauhsted. I am teacheing 2 year olds and as most of you know they definitely keep you on your toes.

Rob has still been resting this weeek and trying to get his foot back to normal. He is still having problems putting pressure on it but seems to be making progress. He is going back to work on Tuesday for the shear fact that he is done being on teh couch and can't take too much more.
This I just wanted to share. Back in June I planted these flowers in the flower box around the bottom of the mailbox out front. I hadn't seen anything from them and was really surprised when I walked outside last Monday and happened to notice these 2 buds. I am excited that of all the stuff I planted something finally showed.

More Spoiling

You would not believe the spoiling I received this week! My swap partner this time went all out! THanks so much for all the goodies!

I got a job

I got a job at Destinations CHildcare Center just down the street from the house. I start work tomorrow. Rachel is going to be in the big girl class ( the 3 year old room) and I will be teaching the 2 year olds. John Michael will only be there for about 2 hours everyday after school. I will still get to drop him off at school each morning. Way excited and I will post more tomorrow after the first day.

Broke Foot!

So Rob fell off of a ladder on Friday and has been icing and elevating his foot all weekend. We finally got him in to the ER today and they said he has a sprined ankle and a broken meta-tarsle. He will be in a walking boot for a while to try and get back to normal.

Legoville on my dinning room floor!

Rob and John Michael decided last night to build a lego town complete with train running through it. THey had a blast! I wish I could have stayed awake to see the final product but they had a good time.

A blankie for Hank

So my brother and his wife are not going to be having children for a while due to his deployment to Iraq and finishing his service to the Marines. So the other day they got themsleves a puppy. His name is Hank and as I told my bro since I wont have a niece or nephew to spoil for a while I am gonna spoil Hank. So I made hima little blankie to wrap up in. It is a very wonderful periwinkle blue and dark chocolate brown.

Budding Model

My little model!

Shaking booty!

Ok so Rachel has just been hilarious the last few days, SHe has been randomly dancing to any music. It has been hilarious. Last night as we were watching the opening cermeonies for the Olympics she was going nuts with it.

Some new pics of the kids

So thought I would put up some updated pics of the kids. i realized after looking back that I hadn't done that in a while. Rachel is doing good you would never know that she even had surgery.

Zoompa and Tutu gone

Bummer! The kids were bummed out when we had to take Zoompa and Tutu to the airport this morning. THey both ahad fun with them here and it was nice to have moms brain around for all the stuff with the surgery. SHe was soo good and cooked a lot for us whiel they were here. Rachel doesn't even seem like she had surgery at all. She is running around and playinga nd just havinga grand old time. Thanks mom and dad for being here. we needed it and the kids enjoyed it so much!!

SHe's home

we are finally home from the hospital. Everything went well. The surgeon thinks that due to the color of the stones and size that they were caused by the jaundice she had as a baby. She has bounced back very well. She is already playing and having a good time with mom and dad. Thanks for all of your prayers and concerns. We appreciatte it.
