back to school

wheeeeeeeee!
elliott began his final year at elementary school today. (sigh.)
beatrice started second grade, (big stuff.) and i'm in fourth grade for the 17th year in a row! ha! the kids attend our neighborhood school where their dad went, while i teach at another elementary school in our small city.

this year, my colleagues and i are enjoying a brand new building. let me just say, "WOW!" and "i love air conditioning!!!!!"

i've also found that while i will always miss the charm and character our previous building held, new construction offers cupboards and drawers that are deep and wide, (read: hold tons of stuff!) and the halls are eerily quiet with the carpeted floors.

i've been super duper busy getting ready for the new year, and i apologize for the lack of posting going on around here. i'll get into a groove soon, i hope!

much love and happy school days to you!
