The Tickle Monster

Andy and Emily must roll around on the floor with Grace, because the other night I was just sitting there minding my own business when Grace tackled me. She then proceeded to tickle me and she actually told me, "Your not the boss of me!" I think she picked that up from daycare. She is definitely in her terrible twos. She is a fun little girl. You can't help but to smile when she is around.

Gerry

We lost a wonderful man this week. Gerry Wagner passed away surrounded by his family early Sunday morning. He was a part of my extended familly here in Indiana. I will miss him greatly. He was a great father to Gretchen and Emily, and a wonderful grandfather to Shelby and Grace. He was also a great friend to Joe and I. Please keep Sherri, Emily, Andy, and Gretchen in your thoughts and prayers.

Tough Week

It has been a rough week, but finally a bit of good news. Check out Brainy Girl's blog for a bit of good news!

A Brand New Year

Family and Friends,
I have not been a very good blogger so far this year. I am going to try my best to update my blog more often. Joe and I had a wonderful time in Boise over Christmas. We had a great time playing games and sledding and all the fun things we do when we are at the cabin. The new year started off with some great news that may include some traveling for Joe and I. I will explain more when I get the okay from the other parties involved.
We are still in mourning over the Colts lost last weekend. Thank you for not calling me on that terrible day. My heart was broken and I wouldn't have been able to hold it together. We will have to wait until next year to talk about it.
School is going well. I found out that I will know my new placement two weeks after spring break, so about mid-April. I am hoping that I will remain in kindergarten. I am not looking forward to packing up two rooms and unpacking it all into one room. I may try to recruit help in the summer.
Joe and Eli are doing well. Eli doesn't like the winter because he doesn't get out as much as he is used to. He is also shedding right now which is awful. Joe is playing music with a bunch of different people. He is going to play in Bloomington on Friday.
We hope this finds everyone healthy and happy.

A Long Wait

I don't have a voice. I haven't had a voice since Monday. It is not very good to be a kindergarten teacher without a voice. Even worse is being a Colts fan without a voice. I hope it is back by Sunday. Needless to say, I have been sick. The last time I got sick was last November. I have to remember to take extra vitamins next year. Everyone is doing fine. Joe is having a great time this month with all of his special days off (Election Day, Vetren's Day, and Thanksgiving). Eli is healthy, finally! He is so big. He did well with me even though I had to whisper to him for the past few days. He still knew when I was mad at him even though I had to whisper. Joe and I have looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving in Noblesville, and Christmas in Boise. We even had a few snowflakes today to set the mood for the Holidays. I had an interesting week at school that I will tell you about if you ask. Well, I am at school tutoring so I should go. I hope this finds you very well.

My Beautiful 30th Birthday Cake

The Beautiful Bride and Groom.

Well, I am 30. It really isn't that bad. I had a great couple of weeks. We went to South Bend Indiana for a wedding over my birthday weekend. We had a great time. Then the next weekend my sister and brother in law came in. We celebrated my birthday and went to a Colts game. They kicked butt. After the game we came back to watch the BSU Broncos Beat New Mexico 50 something to nothing. We stopped watching at halftime and played a mean game of Monopoly until 2 in the morning. I had so much fun. The next day we went to the zoo before Michelle and MJ had to leave for Boise. This past weekend was Grace's 2nd Birthday. We babysat her during the day (Lucky Us!) and then partied all night. I am really enjoying my thirties. Here are some Photos.
