Where will my future take me? Only God knows.


A quick update on my career searching:
I have been applying to every and all openings that seem interesting to me. I have had a few interviews. Just this week I interviewed with I.U.S. for an instructor position in their undergrad and graduate education dept. It was a long and eventful day. I had to be interviewed three times; the vice-chancellor, the dean of educ., and a team of education professors. Then I had to give a 30 minute presentation to a room of about 12 people (half staff, half students).

Then, just yesterday I get a call from Greater Clark for an interview today! It was this morning at 7:45. WOW! I haven't gotten up that early in a long time, I guess I better get used to that again. The interview was with four principals and another administrator. It went very well.

Then, I get home and there is a message from JCPS and now they want to interview me next week.

When it rains, it pours!

I am so pumped about getting back into the teaching world again. And I am also excited about a new start. I know God has a plan for me, so now I just need to wait and see what it will be.....

Bye-Bye high chair!


We have come to a very bitter sweet moment in our lives as parents. We have officially graduated from the high chair. It has been placed in the garage for now until we can find a permanent place for it. (Probably the Goodwill) We are so pleased that our children are both getting so big and sitting at the table with us. Now we all sit at the table together and that is such a sweet sight. We have Sadie in her booster seat and Scooter in a regular kitchen chair. But at the same time it is sad to know that we will never have a high chair in our presence again. So, so long high chair........... and although I feel like I should say "we will miss you," deep down in my heart......................... we really won't! Hee-Hee!

ART SPARKS!

We went to "Art Sparks" at the Kentucky Speed Art Museum. It is a whole floor for kids (adults too, notice Seth getting in on the fun). They have all kinds of stuff for preschoolers and toddlers to get into. Scooter painted a picture and Sadie and I posed for a quick pic in the tee-pee.


Building and playing and more building.














Sadie's favorite part was the ocean play area in the toddler room, but she liked building too.











Playing in the Native American/Old West area.














They both liked the magnet station, especially Scooter.









Soon, it was lunch time. Let's go!


C'mon Sadie girl, it's time to go.

Just hanging out at the pool in our neighborhood.

It has been nice to visit with all of these HOT days lately.

Sadie on her Zebra



First she gets on....

Then she checks to make sure we're watching.....

Then the show begins.

She jumps up and down like mad and squeals and giggles the entire time.

That crazy girl!
She makes us laugh so hard.
