Just a quick post to finally share the kiddos pictures with you. They got their school pictures back about a month ago and I was bad and haven’t shared them with anyone yet. Sorry about that! So here ya go….

Brad’s Fall 2nd Grade Photo:

And Halle’s very first “official” school photo for Pre-K:

In other news, I went on a field trip today. I must say thank you to the other 8th grade teachers that just informed me YESTERDAY that I was supposed to attend and supervise the students… I wrongly assumed that because this was a HISTORY field trip those teachers would be accompanying them. Apparently ALL 8th grade teachers were to go….oh well! We took the entire 8th grade to Palmyra, MO–a small town about 15 minutes from school. They’re having a Civil War reinactment this weekend and schools were invited to come today to get a tour/lessons of the civil war era. We were only there for about 2 1/2 hours and it really wasn’t that bad. For the most part the students were well behaved and the weather (although windy) cooperated nicely for an outdoor fieldtrip. So my first experience wasn’t so bad.

I’m glad it’s the weekend though. I feel like my week has gone on forever! I had to come down to St. Charles for a teacher workshop on Wednesday and we were doing something almost every other night this week. At least we don’t have any big plans this weekend. In fact, aside from a luncheon at church on Sunday, grading some papers, and finishing up an assignment for my grad class, I have NO real plans. Ahhhhhh….freedom!

Oh…one more thing….David had a job interview yesterday morning that went quite well. I believe that the company was quite impressed with him and I know that David would feel quite comfortable in that position. Keep him (and our family) in your prayers if you don’t mind. We really appreciate it!

Oh…I lied….one final thing. Just wanted to give my Daddy a shout out! He turned the big 5-0 (or 50 years young as he says) on the 17th and this is the first time I’ve blogged since then. Happy Birthday, Dad! I love you!
