Last Week of School!!!!

I can't even believe it's the end of the school year already!! Time has just gone by so fast this past year or so. With all that has happened within this last year (graduating college, being hired as a student teacher, moving into my parents' home, and getting hired as a full-time religious educator) comes feelings of gratitude, apprehension, joy, uneasiness, excitement, etc. But don't get me wrong, overall, I/we are super excited to greet these two beautiful daughters of our Father in heaven into this world.

With the combined waiting on these twinners and the job to come, time has just flown by.

Yesterday, as students were coming by where we were handing out ice cream, and asking us to sign their yearbooks, I couldn't help but feel a little sad that we'll be saying our adieu's to these wonderful students here this week. I've come to really love these kids. I don't remember if I've told you about my trainer, Matthew Taylor, but he is such the example to me of how to truly love these kids we are teaching. I've been praying for the gift of charity so that I may love the students I teach, in the classroom and out!

I'm gonna miss these characters!

This evening Russell and I went out for a walk to see the horses!

He was a little apprehensive to touch the horses, but he overcame his fears!

He wanted to pick some dandelions for papa!
