So first week of school is done and over with. It was interesting. I think it will get better as the year goes on. Carmen is great and I think she is really excited to be working with my kiddos. Right now we have 2 kids in the morning and 7 in the afternoon. It's a lot, but we are handling it OK. Only 36 more weeks left! I'm already ready for next summer though. Beau and I are planning an Australia trip and I can't wait! I hope we can make it work. It's so expensive to go there. Beau is enjoying his second year in GCISD. He has already had a run in with the director of special ed and some parents, but they are working on it. Right now we are just spending our days at work and our nights relaxing. Can't wait for our first break! :)

Vacation

Wow summer has almost come and gone. It was a great time though. Beau and I went to California and Florida both this month. His dad lives outside of LA now and the scenery was beautiful out there. We broke in the camera and had a great time! After coming home for a few days from there we went to Orlando in Florida for a week with Justin and Heidi. We had a great time seeing the beaches, Universal Studios, and Sea World. Beau's mom has a condo out there and we got stay in a nice resort and just relax.

So school is getting ready to start back and things are looking good. I'm excited to start the new year and I'm ready for a new batch of kiddos. It's going to be a good start to really teach what they need. Last year I kinda felt like I was stepping into someone else's shoes and this year I know what I'm doing and it really feels like my classroom. I'm also getting a new aide and she is excited to get a change in pace. This will a fresh start for us both!
