We Didn't Fall Off the Earth...I Promise!!!

Since February a lot has gone on...let me just give you a quick summary! During the month of March, my sister painted the walls and closet in the baby room for my birthday gift back in January...it looks so great! She almost killed me though because she didn't realize she was going to need so many coats of white on the ceiling and in the closet. Following that, our friend Elise began the mural on the Beanut's wall...after several hours she finished the mural. It looks awesome! That was our baby gift from Dave and Elise! On top of that, it was Decker's 7th birthday and I finished my Professional Certification. Yes...I am now a REAL teacher! I have finished everything and more in the area of teaching, just have a few more degrees that I probably won't get. Anyhoo- the Professional Certification was due the last Saturday in March and I had to present! I got an Excellent on it, and I feel like my body is just getting back to normal. Oh did I mention I had 50 report cards to do in all of that time too? Myself and one other teacher presented to all the parents for the District Kinderfest...and we even started Birthing classes....that is a whole other blog. Check out the pictures from the murals painting below. There is even a picture to update you on how many weeks I was-it was somewhere between 24 and 26 weeks that Elise took the picture!


Here is a picture of the beginning of Elise's handwriting.




Here is a cute little wall art she painted so she could sample drawing the flowers.


Here is FAT me....yuck!:o)

Tada...all done!
