Just thought I would let everyone know that John has a ton of pictures on Photobucket. Here is the link and all you do is pick the categories on the side to see the pics.

So life has been really busy lately with my new kindergarten position. I’ve been so busy trying to keep things together at home, work, and with the baby that I haven’t had much time to blog lately. Well, this weekend was a 4 day weekend, so I’ve finally found some time to catch up and put some new pictures up. We recently went up to Tahoe because we found out that John’s grandma was in the hospital with an infection and that her cancer has moved up into brain. Our visit was nice, but incredibly busy. The baby was not all that cooperative the second night. He woke up 5 times that night. But we woke up to snow. Not very much, but it was there. It sure was cold. We got a lot of visiting in. It was the first time we had been up there in 6 months.
Halloween was fun. JJ dressed up as a lion and boy was he cute. He didn’t really care for the hat all that much, but I just left it loose and he was okay with it. We had some friends come over from church. They have a 4 and 5 year old and just found out their new little addition will be a girl. JJ’s new little playmate will be born in March.
Being a teacher is HARD work! I’ve been subbing and or student teaching for the past 5 years, but I tell you my notions about what a teacher does during the day were so wrong! I thought for sure as a half day kindergarten teacher I would have plenty of time during the day to get things done. NOT the case. I stay from about 7:30 to 3:30 or 3:45 each day and until about 4:30-5:30 on Fridays. I’ve gone to a few trainings already, administered math and language arts benchmark assessments and will be doing report cards and parent teacher conferences in the next 2 weeks. All of this within my first month of being there! That’s why I’ve been so overwhelmed. I can’t wait til Thanksgiving break and after things should be back to normal.
As for the baby, he has now tried oatmeal, bananas, carrots, and sweet potatoes. He likes all of them for the most part, but won’t eat carrots mixed with cereal. He keeps his mouth wide open during feedings. Just like his mommy and daddy, he loves to eat! Also, he had his 6 month appointment a couple of weeks ago. He was 15 lbs 14 oz and 26 1/4 inches. What a big boy!
Anyhow, here’s some pictures of our recent adventures. Enjoy!
So today the baby and I went with my dad (aka: Grandpa) up to the mountains to check out Crestline and Lake Gregory. Well, it turns out the lake was closed for swimming. We were only going to put our feet in anyways, but it was still a bummer. We ended up taking a few pictures of the scenery around the lake and then heading off for a yummy lunch before going back down the mountain. Here are a few pictures of our adventure today.
The following pictures are various pictures from June of 2008.
So today we went to go get professional pictures done today with our little one for the first time. He is 2 days shy of 2 months old. He must have been tired today because he has been up practically for the past three days and he was a sleepy one during the photo shoot. The photographer was barely able to get any smiles from our usually very smiley baby.
The pictures, for the most part, came out beautiful. Our little man is very photogenic and I don’t think there were any that I didn’t like. There was also a great one of our husband looking down at our baby. It was very precious. However, I did not like our family portraits. The photographer could see each picture as she took it, yet she neglected to let me know that my classes were covering half my eyes in each shot. If I would have known that was going to be the case, then I would have taken them off. I’m telling you, I need to get back to contacts.
We did awesome as far as price goes. We got 16 sheets of pictures and one specialized picture for about $100. I’ll post them when we get them back in the beginning of July.
Little Johns very first fathers day, DH’s first fathers day and some of the pictures that came from our day.
Here’s a few pictures of me and some friends up in Tahoe.
