Hi!

Oh wow, I didn't realize it had been four weeks since I last posted!  Sorry guys.  This post isn't going to be much as it has been a busy week.  School started this week for teachers and in the whole week, I put in about 55 hours of work in my classroom.  I am t-i-r-e-d!  Hopefully soon I will share pictures from our vacation in Myrtle Beach, some pictures of my classroom, and an update on my 18 cuties I get to spend the year with!  I met them today and they are adorable!  I love first grade!

Last weekend was a lot of fun though.  Ben's extended family from Texas came to visit!  They all came over to our house on Sunday for dinner and to hang out.  We haven't seen them in a year and a half so it was great getting to spend time with them.  Some of them have new babies that we hadn't met yet.  Ben's cousins, Dan and Anne, and their adorable baby, got to stay with us Sunday and Monday night.  Even though Ben and I had to work on Monday, we still got to see everyone one more time before they left when we had dinner at Brian & Kim's house.  It was a lot of fun getting to see the family and hang out with them!  Maybe a trip to Texas next?!
