New J-O-B!!

Last Wednesday I resigned from my position at Hillsboro ISD. I am going to miss the people that I work with so much, but I am moving on to a new and exciting position. As most of you know I was going to get my teaching certificate because I didn't think that I would be able to find a speech position in Waco.....I went from having no job offers on Tuesday to having 2 offers by Wednesday and by Thursday I had 3! I had completely put a speech position out of my head. You see I applied for my dream job in March. I hadn't heard anything and I was positive that it was not an option. Little did I know I would be offered this position on Thursday. So I said goodbye to the Hillsboro Eagles.....


And will be saying hello to the Midway Panthers in August!!! I can't tell you how excited I am to be going back "home"! I will be closer to Carson and getting off I-35 is such a blessing. Looks like I will be pulling out some of my old Midway shirts to wear on jean/tshirt Fridays!

Sick Baby

My little man is sick. He started running a fever last night and it got up to 103.7. I called the doctor and they said to put him in a cool bath or put cool wash clothes on him to try to get his temp down. We tried to put him in his crib, but he woke up around 12. We just went ahead and put him in our bed and woke up with him every 30 minutes. He would sleep for 30 minutes then wake up crying. This pattern continued all night. I called mom and dad this morning at 6:20 to see if they would take him early today bc neither Z nor I could get ready this morning with the way he was crying. I came home got ready (I had to look nice this morning bc I have in interview at 4:00) and went to work. On my way in I called the doctor and they wanted to see Carson. His ears/throat were clear so Dr. H. wanted to do a blood test on him to check everything. Nothing showed up on his blood test. The doctor said there were a couple of viruses going around lately and that if he got worse today to bring him in tomorrow morning. I'm really praying he feels better bc Z and I have to work tomorrow morning and my mom will be out of town with my grandfather for his surgery. Please pray that he is feeling better and pray for Z as well. He has him all day today and tomorrow after the bank by himself.

On another note....I believe C is trying to cut all four of his top teeth at once. Could this be the culprit of his crying and fever???? We shall see.....Anyone have any experience with teething like this???

Summer boating

The boating has begun!! Go check out my sister's blog as she travels through Spain this summer. www.Caitlin-in-Spain.blogspot.com

Aunt Caitlin is heading to Spain....

This is the face that Carson made when I told him that his Aunt Caitlin was going to Spain! He already misses her like CRAZY! He told me to write her a note from him.

Dear Aunt Caitlin,
I miss you like crazy. I love you more that I love water. Have fun, but not too much fun. I can't wait to see you on the computer! Love you Aunt Caitlin!
Love CarCar

Caitlin is the best person with Carson. As soon as he sees her he is all smiles! I am so excited for her, but I'm sad I won't get to see her for over a month.

Have fun my sweet little sister....Don't forget about us in the U.S. while you are living it up in Spain! Take lots of pictures! You have been slacking in that department lately. I love you and miss you already!!

One step closer!!

I passed my EC-4 test!!! I am officially one step closer to getting out of Hillsboro and into the classroom!!! I know I have been MIA for a little bit, but really was anyone surprised...I don't blog that much. I took my test Monday and just checked online and found out that I had passed and am now eligible to become a teacher! I will be studying for the rest of the week for my Special Education EC-12 test that I will be taking Tuesday!

Summer!

I LOVE living in Texas because it starts to feel like summer in April. We have been waiting to get in the pool since we got back from Spring Break. Carson loved getting in the pool in Florida and I was excited for my parents to see how much he enjoys the water. Here are some shots from our first day in the pool. We got in Friday with Aunt Caitlin and then Saturday with Mimi and Pop. Unfortunately I only have pictures from Friday. Saturday was caught on video camera.

They have a baby!!!

WOW....God sure does answer prayers! The couple that I posted about last week got the call yesterday. They were picked by a young woman who wants them to raise her baby! You cannot believe how excited this makes me. They will be bringing their baby home sometime around November 13! What a wonderful Thanksgiving they will have! Praise God for answered prayers!!
