Hello?

Hello.  It's been a while.  I've been a little preoccupied...a new house, teaching at a new school and a new grade, AND we have a baby on the way.  Thus, my time and my mind has been a little preoccupied.  It's mid October! Wait a second...it's already mid October?

Quick updates...

1. Found out I was pregnant the 3rd week in July.
2. Found out I got a job teaching 5th grade the same day I found out I was pregnant. (Talk about an emotional day.)
3. Teaching at my former school, Peter Kirk.  Love it!
4. Started another blog where I share thoughts about this pregnancy.  
5. Slowly let family and close friends know we were having a baby.
6. School started...September and October are always busy.
7. Let the principal know about the baby....she was elated. 
8. The rest of the staff found out a couple weeks later...they couldn't believe it beings that Kirk has had 5 babies in less than a year.
9. First trimester I was an emotional wreck...so, so, SO glad I am past that.  Well, still a little emotional, but not that emotional.
10. Shared with our church that we were having a baby.
11. Not sure of my 5th graders.
12. Shared with my school-parents that I was having a baby...they were excited, but I think with a little hesitation.
13. Went on a 3-day, 2-night adventure with 75 5th graders and a few other teachers.  Crazy?  Yes.  Did we have a lot of fun?  Absolutely!
14. Incredibly exhausted from camp.
15. Road trip to Prosser-Moscow-Prosser for Idaho Homecoming.  Lame game, but fun to be back in Moscow and run into friends.
16. Still recuperating from camp, but had to keep pushing forward.
17. Conferences...ugh!
18. Into second trimester...pregnancy "symptoms" kicked up a notch, but extremely happy about this.
19. Ferry ride to Kingston with Barrans to see Toomey's. 
20. Slumber party with the Barrans' babes.
21. Exhausted, but worth every minute.

Life will slow down this week...conferences are coming to an end and fall is officially here.  This means knitting, chai lattes, cozy comforters, football, and our annual fall get away to Fort Flagler.  (Huge sigh of relief.)

I hope fall will also allow for more time for blogging.

Sending love to all.
