First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for the support and prayers for my family and I. It has been over a week since my D&C and I am healing (physically) quickly. I went back to work on Tuesday. Fortunately, my job does not allow much time to think about anything else but the kiddos in my classroom. So, I haven't had much down time at work to think about it...which is a blessing. I don't have much time at home to think about it either, except at night time. That is when I realize that I am still struggling with the emotional impact this experience has had on me. I also realized that today I do not feel much like writing about it. Instead, I will talk about other things that have been going on in our lives.

Alivia started ballet and acrobats this week. She was so "essited" about ballet! Most of you know that my daughter has been walking on her tiptoes since she learned to walk. Imagine my surprise when I watched her first class and she barely went up on her toes at all! Seriously, kid? Oh well, she still looked pretty cute! She has also started preschool and loves it. She keeps singing the songs that she's learning and talking about all of her "projects" that she does. It is very sweet.
Alex likes second grade...but he is quickly realizing that it is much harder than first grade. I've been told that the year your child is in the same grade that you teach is going to be a difficult one. Boy am I finding that to be true! Sheesh! His football season is in full swing and he loves it. I can't get over how big and grown up he looks in his uniform.
Not much else to talk about, I'm afraid. Except that today I discovered the wonderfulness of my new favorite bookstore...Half Price Books. How is it that I am in my fifth year of teaching and nobody has told me about this place?!?! I spent a small fortune there today. I also found composition notebooks at Target for 10 cents a piece! You would have thought it was Christmas for me! The things that I get excited about...
