A couple of weeks ago we traveled to SC to visit the Mr's sister and her husband. They are expecting their first child We were able to celebrate A's birthday and attend one of her baby showers.
A, B and D!
The week she turned 30 she was 30 weeks pregnant too!
D, A and MIL
Aunt A
Tuck with his cousin!
The church ladies did a nice job putting together a Hungry Caterpillar shower!
T Man slept through most of the shower.
All the wonderful hostess and guests.
Just missing B...but here are the Hammarlund kids!
So our Internet, TV and phone are all out. I have a ton of pics to blog with and no way to do it! Ha! This is my second post from my phone! :) Tuck is much better and here is a sneak peak of his 3 month pics! :)
We had a busy week! You officially turned 3 months old this week and had your first "sick" visit to the doctor.
The week started off great! Mommy had graduation for Junior League so you and Daddy played Monday evening.
Tuesday evening was % night at the local Mexican restaurant for our school. So of course we went! :) Aunt J and Uncle T went with us and everyone stopped by our table to say hello to you! :) Mommy has a feeling that you will love Mexican food when you can eat solids!
Daddy said you picked out this outfit to wear this week...Mommy doesn't believe that! :)
Daddy sends Mommy funny pictures of you while I'm working. They always make me smile!
Daddy took this video of you playing your playmat this week! You are getting to be so much more active which is so fun for us!
Wednesday evening, GMama came! She came in town to watch you while Mommy worked and Daddy subbed. You enjoyed your two days with her a lot!
Thursday evening we had dinner at home with GMama cooked by Daddy...have I mentioned that he's a great cook?!? He will teach you how to cook and Mommy will teach you how to bake!
You are still such a good sleeper...you make the sweetest noises when you sleep.
Friday was Field Day at school for Mommy and Daddy...and when were about to come home GMama said she thought you might have pink eye. So Daddy made an appt with Dr. G to have your eyes checked out. This was our first "sick" visit to Dr. G...but you did great. You did have Pink Eye and got some drops to help it get better quick. By Saturday morning you were all better! :)
You are finally big enough to wear your special Guy Harvey shirt that Daddy bought you when we found out you were a boy! :) It's so cute on you!
Saturday was your first time to the local farmers market! You loved riding around and listening to the music and people.
You are holding your head up so well. And you love to coo and squeal at us...it's so much fun to listen to you. Mommy enjoys reading books to you whenever you're awake. You really look at the pictures and listen as I read to you. I hope you enjoy to read when you are older.
It's so amazing to think we've been blessed to have you as our baby for 3 months...you are truly amazing and such a precious gift from God. We love you so much Tuck!
Today our sweet boy is 3 months old! And usually there would be a post but our sweet boy has pink eye. :( So, when he gets better I will take his monthly pictures and share his stats and such!

One of the biggest compliments you can give a teacher is telling them that they have done a good job with their students.
With the end of the year approaching fast teachers are usually very tired during this time of year.Testing, wrapping up data, finishing up projects with the students, and getting the classroom ready for summer can be overwhelming.
Yesterday morning, I was told by someone who is pretty important that they were very proud of the progression my students have made this year. And very proud of my hard work. (I'm not bragging at all...just documenting the moment.) If you knew the students in my classroom this year you would understand that this meant a lot. I love each and everyone of my students but they came to my classroom this year with a lot of hurdles to jump through.
I would not have received that compliment if I had not worked with some amazing collaborators. My special ed collaborator is down right amazing at her job. My ESOL collaborator brought so many creative ways of teaching into my classroom.
When they say it takes a village to raise a child, the same is true for teaching them.
I'm going to miss my students next year. We've worked really hard together to achieve their goals for the year.
