What We've Been Up to Lately

I have not blogged in a while, so here is a post of all things from the past six weeks or so!

 We had tennis ball size hail during a terrible thunder storm. My neighbor collected these from the yard. I was at school during the storm. It was the first time in my six years of teaching in Texas that I actually ducked and covered with my students during a tornado drill! Nothing every really hit our school except for rain. Evie was at daycare. They had all the children in the cafeteria! When I arrived home about 1 1/2 hours after the storm, our yard was littered with marble size hail that was melting. Our backyard patio table's glass shattered all over the place! For the next month after, our neighborhood was swarmed by roofers knocking on doors every evening. We should be getting our new roof soon!

 We supported our friend dear friend, Brandon, in his fight against a brain tumor.We walked in the second annual "Head for the Cure" 5K in Plano. Brandon's team had about 100 participants! Brandon ran the 5K! AWESOME. One of my students was there too, supporting her mom's fiance.

School ended! We held our annual Talent Show. Teachers always show off their talent at the finale. This year, we were synchronized swimmers performing a routine to "California Girls."

 Evie drew a Mother's Day picture for me. She said it was a picture of worms and ants.

My parents, Grammy and Papa, sold their house of almost 30 years and moved to Texas!

We said good bye to Clare as she and her husband were loading their moving van getting ready to leave for Ohio. Clare was a such a huge help to me when Evie was an infant. We will be forever thankful for all Clare did for us! She will be missed!
