Catching Up

Well it has definitely been a very busy month, but we have been having a GREAT time. On the 18th I celebrated my birthday with Aaron and Emory at a weekend in Fredicksburg. We had a great time of eating, shopping, and relaxing. We did take Emory to Luckenbach (Aaron had never been either), but Emory did NOT like the motorcycles that were out there so we stayed for maybe 10 mins.

That weekend Emory also celebrated her 2 month birthday. We had to get a 2 month picture at 2:15, but she was hungry at that time and was not in the mood for pictures. I can't believe how big she's getting. She is changing every day. She loves sucking on her fist, in fact she tries to stick the whole thing in her mouth. She is holding her head up like a champ. She's a little social butterfly and loves to be around people and have everyone talk to her. If she can't see what's going on she gets very upset. She has just been an absolute joy!

We have also been to an ACU football game. Emory did not like it very much. The crowd startled her every time ACU scored so we ended up leaving before it was over. ACU did win and are still doing great. Looking forward to Homecoming next weekend and spending time with old friends.

I have also started back to work. I love my new position and have a lot to adjust to. I have to adjust to being away from Emory. She is doing great with her Nana (Aaron's mom) and I know she will do great when she starts at Zion Lutheran's All God's Children in December. Sherla is great about sending me pictures and keeping me informed about what goes on during the day. She's spoiling me and Emory both. At my job I am having to adjust to a new role. I don't have a classroom anymore and working in the office area very closely with the principal and instructional coordinator. My job is kind of hard to explain, but I have tested or interpreted data of tests for all of Kindergarten through 3rd graders. I have put all those grade levels in a group for an intervention time and have come up with intervention for most groups. I am the "go to" girl when it comes to interventions. I also have to keep up with all the paper work. Since students now have to have documented intervention before getting referred to special ed, I have LOTS of paper work to catch up on. Before I started this position the principal and IC had to do all the documentation and there weren't any interventions. Since they didn't have time to do it all, there is a lot for me to sort through, organize, and catch up on. It's a great way to use my master courses information. I am LOVING it.

This picture the morning I started back to work...she looks upset to be away from me, doesn't she?

Getting close to month 3 for our little girl. Time flies by with lots of fun things in store.
