Busy Day!

Sunday 4.27 (Gary’s Birthday!)

It’s a busy morning around here today! We are busy packing up our things (mostly Annika’s) to head to the valley for 6 weeks. It is back to work for me Monday morning and I am SOOOOO excited to see my students.

Gary is taking the next 2 weeks off to help me transition back to work. Unfortunately, I am not sure with going back to my classroom how often I will be able to “blog.” Something tells me that Gary won’t be too interested in updating it.

Last night Annika had her first babysitter (other than family). Sisters Schools Foundation put on an annual concert and last night Rodney Crowell and Chely Write performed. So little Miss Annika stayed with Kristy, Drew and Emily Rawls ( I was Emily’s first babysitter!). I am happy to report that she was on her best behavior—well at least that is what we were told. So hopefully since she was such a good little girl she will be invited back! :-)

I am also excited to report that Annika has slept through the night for 2 nights in a row! Although I am kind of torn…part of me is thrilled…and the other….knows she’s ornery like her dad and I just KNEW the week I went back to work and it was Gary’s turn to get in the middle of the night she would for sure be sleeping through the night. Yep, that’s our girl.

Well we must get back to packing and get things loaded up.
