Labor Day 2011







(Colin & Abby, Jen & Owen, Hayley & Emma, Kris & James, Kate- Elly & Michael in front)

We have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time! Not only to get time to relax and hang out, but also to see great friends and have our kids play:) Life has been pretty crazy around here with school starting for me, James starting daycare and Michael starting a new school! Michael LOVES his new school- we switched him to a Montessori School in Plano and it is incredible! He runs down the hall and into the classroom every morning, yelling "Bye Mommy! See you later!". Makes me a little sad that my little boy is growing up, but so happy that he loves his school so much!
James started the daycare at my school, which I love, so I get to go hang out with him during my planning period:) He is such a cuddle-bug and is getting SO much attention from his Carmen and Teresa (they watched Michael too)- they are wonderful! We are so blessed to have them!
My school year has started off great! I love my middle school classes! I have an all-boy class for 2 hours and I think they are my favorite:) Girl drama in the middle school is so exhausting! My 6th grade class is VERY challenging this year, but I think it is good for me to have them- they keep me on my toes:)
Geoff is still working away at B of A- I love that he is home by the time I get home with the boys. They are both SO excited to see him when we walk in the door- I definitely have 2 Daddy Boys on my hands right now!
We had a little BBQ today to get together with some friends we haven't seen in awhile. I met Colin, Ryan and Kris when I was in high school and we have still managed to remain good friends! We all have kids about the same age and it is such a blast to get them all together! We also had my parents and cousins over to hang out- I love, love, love having family close! Now, if only we can get Geoff's family to move to Dallas...:)
Geoff experimented with making Brisket Burgers, which turned out to be a big hit! Everything was gone! Now, both boys are sleeping soundly and we are praying for a quiet night!
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend!
