24 more days :)

The weekend seemed to fly by as usual, but it won't be long until we are enjoying our two month holiday :) 24 more teaching days and 3 organizational days left. It will be a busy next few weeks getting the kids ready for next year and working on report cards. We also have two field trips this month - swimming and the zoo! Job postings will be coming out in a week or so and I will be looking to see if there is anything closer. Mike has even less teaching days left because of exams...and he keeps rubbing it in my face. Yesterday we met Daxton for the first time. He is absolutely perfect! I seem to always forget how small they are. Jen and Dale are doing great too. We made them a spaghetti dinner yesterday and then brought them dinner tonight as well. I will post some pics of Daxton next time.
Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend!

Much Needed May Long

I am so happy that this week is over. It has been full of meetings and presentations and I haven't been feeling well all week either. The week ended off with a Professional Development day which was spent learning new things to teach in class and presenting to the rest of my colleagues, which is a little intimidating. Came away from the meeting with a ton of great ideas though. Most people think that PD days are for our own time, but there is something always scheduled and most of the time I find it more work than having the kids all day. It will be nice to have a 3 day weekend. Mike and I are going to meet Daxton for the first time tomorrow and we are so excited!! Hopefully we will be babysitting soon :) Then we have dinner plans for tomorrow night. One of Mike's friends from work and her boyfriend are coming over for a BBQ. No big plans for the weekend...just a lot of enjoying and relaxing. The last little bit of school is usually crazy so I need all the energy I can get. I might even start on the final set of report cards this weekend. It is hard to believe the year is almost over. I couldn't imagine not having the summer off...so glad I chose teaching :)

Baby Hull is Here!!

Sunday morning we got the call that Jen was in labour and this morning at 2:33 a.m. she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. They named him Daxton and he weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces. They are doing great and I am so excited to get to meet him soon! Crazy how fast the 9 months went by and that my best friend is now a mom! He is going to be spoiled for sure. I already went out and bought him a few outfits today:)

S.A.L.T.S.

Hello,
Mike arrived safe at home Friday afternoon after a week long sailing trip. He had an amazing time and already wants to go back. He learned a lot about sailing and got to see a lot of cool things - jellyfish, crabs, porpoises, seals and starfish. Here are a few pics from his trip.

Long Week...

Mike left Monday morning on his sailing trip. I'm so jealous he doesn't have to be at work all week. The kids are getting crazy...only 7 weeks left of school. Not liking being at home alone, especially at night. We had a winter storm Monday night. The winds were really strong and it kept me up all night. I'm glad Mike isn't home to watch the Canucks...not looking so good right now. Hopefully he is enjoying some good weather. It is snowing again today and on the way to work I saw over 10 accidents and about 5 cars in the ditch. It is supposed to snow all day tomorrow too. Hoping that when Mike comes back he brings some good weather with him.
