Wow, we just realized how long it's been since we last updated.
Sorry for the delay. I (Jillian) got a job at a preschool as a Lead Teacher for the Toddler classroom (18 months - 3 years) and it has taken over my life. I am there 45-50 hours a week and had a really rough couple of weeks. The kids came from an in home daycare to our new facility, so the kids all knew each other, but the newly hired teachers such as myself didn't know them, and the kids didn't know their surroundings, so they had a hard time being left with us. Add to that the fact that they all speak mainly spanish, and I speak very little spanish... it was just short of a disaster for the first two weeks. Things have finally mellowed out and I don't mind working there. So now we have time to update:
Paul giving us a dirty look
Paul's new spot- laying under the bed/couch
Blood Orange- decided to try one- not as good as our usual oranges from a local grower
