Scenes from Frontier Academy 2007/2008

It has been a pretty amazing year. I feel like I have learned a lot as a teacher (only took 8 years). It has been really cool getting to connect with a whole new class of freshmen this year... like I did with Megan and Zach's class (2007). The highlights are seeing the boys at lunch time, Mr. Frontier, hanging after school with Shambo, Byerly, Every and the crew, getting tight with Mag and Brit, working in a building with people and kids I love and ... as always... getting summer off.

I am really blessed to have this job.

Yea school!

I think Jeff hates when I do this, because he is too dang humble about it... but here is the latest update on his book! It still feels unreal. To think we will see his book on a bookshelf in a real store in September. We have a new cover and there are descriptions and stuff. Basically this is all to say that my husband is amazing.

I heart you Jeff.

Pretty much the best author-professor-teacher-husband-pastor-carpet cleaner and baby-daddy ever.

My lovely Mother's day

The boys painted me pictures, took me to the park and cleaned my car... no really; we got to have brunch at Betony's do some landscaping and have spaghetti with my mom and dad (thanks mom!), then we had naps, went to Atlas and to Old Chicago's... the perfect day.
