Merry Christmas!

For some reason, we didn't take too many pictures at Christmas! It was a wonderful one starting with Mass at our beautiful church and then a trip to South Carolina where the children saw snow for the first time!

Mom's Birthday!

Mom is not nearly as old as Dad! We had school on the actual birthday, but celebrated with brunch the weekend before with some of our favorite people!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Somebody turned the big "50" this year and we all went to Kobe's to celebrate! Here are Dad and his darlings in front of the Japanese Christmas Tree!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Grandma and Aunt Mary came to spend Thanksgiving with us this year. We had a wonderful time and lots of wonderful food!

Jake's 13th!

Our baby is now a teenager! Jake turned 13 years old today - Happy Birthday Baby Jake!

New Classroom

This year there was another new classroom to move into - a brand new one in an old building that was completely remodeled! Here are the first pics of the year!

Summer 2010

Some pictures from our summer - guess we didn't take too many! As usual it went by too quickly!!!

Amanda's Graduation

Our sweet Amanda has graduated from Winter Park High! Lindsay and Amanda have grown up together - it's hard to believe how much time has gone by. Amanda is only two weeks older than Lindsay (and they were delivered by the same wonderful doctor) but Lindsay is a September birthday - which meant a whole year behind. Here are some pics from Amanda's party!

Miss Ware

The 2009-2010 School Year was unforgettable for many reasons, one of which would be my Senior Intern, Ericka! She is going to be a fantastic teacher - she's gone through just about anything you could throw at a teacher! Here we are at her Graduation Party!

New Family Member

We added a new member to our family in December - Fritz! He turned 5 on Christmas Eve and we are so happy he joined us!

Christmas Picture

We had a beautiful Christmas at our house and then went up to South Carolina for a few days to visit family there - it was freezing! Here is the picture from our Christmas Card.....

More Birthday Celebrations

On my birthday we went to Brunch at Mission Inn with Dad, Pat and Uncle Bill where we spent hours grazing on the delicious food in preparations for the upcoming holidays!

Mom's 35th Birthday

The school year turned out to be a crazy one and I guess I was so exhausted at the end of the day (and all weekend) that we didn't take too many pictures! We did take some on my birthday - okay, maybe it wasn't my 35th.....

Dunk for Downs

Last week our school held "Dunk for Downs" to raise money for the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida. The children brought in a dollar for the chance to dunk their teacher. I was amazed at the arms my students had - most of them had fantastic aim. Over $1200.00 was raised and will be given in Emerson's honor at the Buddy Walk next week.
