FINALLY Together Again!!!

It was a long 5 weeks, but we survived (barely). Reno moved to Texas to sell, but Marli and I had to stay back so I could finish teaching. We are finally all together and vowed we will never be apart for that long again.

You would have thought Reno had starved those 5 weeks he was here alone. When I opened his fridge, this is what I found. It pretty much consisted of string cheese, jam, a can of fruit, milk and A1 sauce. Luckily, Ashley and Jodi took good care of Reno and had him over for dinner almost every night so that he didn't starve. Thanks girls!

Its All Over!

The school year is finally over and even though I was counting down the days for it to come, it was actually a bittersweet feeling. I am so excited to be able to stay home with Marli and be a stay at home mom, but when I started taking down things in my classroom it hit me that I won't be teaching anymore and I got really sad. I won't miss the crying, tattling, nose picking first-graders, but I will miss their funny stories and the look in their eyes when they learn a new word, or how to add 10+10. I will also miss all the girls I worked with and the fun memories we had.

All the girls I teach with that had a baby this year

I took Marli to the pool on Saturday with some of my friends. Marli loved her first trip to the pool and I was long overdue for a nice tanning session. Well, we didn't get much laying out done, but Marli loved the pool and looked so dang cute in her swimsuit. Just a little FYI for Jamie and Melissa...you could've borrowed Marli's SPF 45, it may have helped prevent those scarlet red legs you were sportin at church today!

I always put Reno on speaker-phone when I talked to him so that Marli can hear his voice. She always gets so excited and reaches for the phone. She loves talking to her dad on the phone and giving him "kisses"

I think Marli looks so much like Reno in this picture. Maybe it's because I haven't seen him for so long.

Weeks in Review

Here are a few pics from the last couple weeks since Reno's been gone. We miss him like crazy and can't wait to see him!

Tummy Time

Marli's getting pretty good at tummy time (even though she hates it). She can hold her head up and even managed to roll over!
