Just Checking In!

I feel like I've only been posting on weekends lately, which is a testament to just how busy this time of year is. Honestly, I LOVE blogging. Love it! But it's hard when all my focus is on work and not my family (sadly). And while I still spend plenty of time with them, I find it hard to remember all the cute things they said or did. So when it comes time to blog... I've got nothin'!

Really, though, I am in the home stretch. The last day of school is exactly two weeks from tomorrow. Somewhere in there, we've got the 5th grade health and hygiene video, two major field trips, report cards, and a promotion ceremony (similar to a graduation ceremony). Not to mention the fact that I am doing a major deep-cleaning of my classroom, since I will most likely not return. Oh, and we literally leave for Alaska as soon as I wrap things up at work, so that means I have to pack, too. Throw in a photo session this weekend and various other obligations, and I am pretty stressed. ACK!!

Anyway... I am still here, the kids are great (and as cute as ever!), and I am counting the days! Here's a quick, semi-in-focus snapshot from this past Saturday morning, before we left to go blueberry picking. I haven't picked up my camera all week (and that's saying something!). Maya was being so cute, though, wanting to wear her Olivia legwarmers and harassing her brother. Love these kids!!
