Back to School and Back to Blogging

It's time to say goodbye to summer and hello to the new school year. I returned to school last Wednesday but won't have students for another week. We have still managed to stay busy every second of the day ALLLLL day beginning VERY early in the morning. I came home on Friday and slept for 16(!!) hours straight! I was so tired. It never ceases to amaze me how the summer months can just zap me of my teacher stamina. I better get it back quickly because back to school WITHOUT students is the easy part! My summer was a much needed break filled with alot of relaxation and adventure. Here is a recap (except for pictures of me in my pajamas, much of summer was spent that way !):

A big step in our house remodeling: FLOORS!!

Zombies



Lots and lots of this.....

Planting, caring for and watching flowers grow all over our yard

Ready for vacation! (Clearly, she loves it when I take out my camera!)

 

Rain Forest Cafe

Chattahoochee River

 

Atlanta Aquarium (Can you see me?)

Making more friends at the aquarium (from a distance)

The Zoo!

Exploring Caves and Caverns

 

Sooooo Awesome!

I'm an official spelunker...I even have a picture to prove it.

 

A baby shower with this pretty girl (please focus on my beautiful daughter and not the remodeling that is going on all around us)

 

 

I now bid farewell to summer until we meet again in 2014 and hello to a new school year. It is time to put my spelunking lantern away and take out those notebooks and crayons.
