Long time, no write

Not so sure about all the noise.

A cool float

Like all the beads?

Pre-Parade
Yes, yes....I know it has been far too long since I've updated the blog but we have been so busy that I think I finally caught my breath last night for the first time in a month. John's sports schedule is in full-on go mode right now. He has basketball (3 teams), soccer(2 teams), wrestling (1 team), baseball (3 teams) and track going on. He is so busy and and will get even busier the next few weeks. For the next 4 weeks, he will have something every week night except for Wednesdays. Needless to say, Mollie and I will be going to Clear Brook High School a lot over the next few weeks so she can see her daddy when she's awake. It's tough on John to not be able to see her but at least I can bring her up to him and they can spend some time together.

School is going well; I love my kids and schedule this year so that helps. I have been studying big-time for a major test to have another endorsement on my teacher certificate and I took that yesterday. I should know the results in the next 3-4 weeks. Keep those fingers crossed!

It's been cold here (nothing like our East Tennessee family has experienced) and I am now at the point where I miss our 95+ degree summer weather. I am a coastal girl and I miss my sunshine!! Bring it back....

Mollie's doing SO well. She's running, talking more and LOVES to color. I can give her crayons and a coloring book and she'll sit and color for a good amount of time. She's really into the movie "Cars" right now so we've been watching that a ton around here. However don't worry, she still loves Elmo.

Speaking of Elmo: we are going to see him live today. I can't wait to see the look on her face. No worries, pictures will be provided later.

We went to one of the Mardi Gras parades last night in Galveston so there are pictures from that. Hope all is well and lots of love to everyone!
