First of all, let me totally say GAG and YUCK. I'm at the library and there's this guy next to me looking at questionable things. I could barf.

Anyway, things are good. Kim is here and so I've snuck away to check out things online. I do have a email address with MCBOE but I can only do in district things.

I am still exhausted. I'm fine as long as I'm moving but it's all over when I stop. I could use toothpicks right now to hold open these lids. We've done a few things on the screened in back porch today but I think we are all settled in. We all spent some time playing in the backyard today with Callie. We left here out there after we checked for spots where she might get out. Guess what? She still got out! Bucky had used some zip ties to mend part of the fence but about a half hour later she was at the front door. Guess she'll be an inside dog all the time.

Don't know too much to tell. I subbed three of my four days this week. Woo Hoo. Everyone has been really nice and helpful.

More later. Love to you all.....

I love the FREE library!

It's not a secret that I love the library. For example, we got our library cards for Mt. Sterling on Tuesday after moving Saturday. Now I have a new reason for loving the library besides books--the internet! Communication! I told Bucky that I feel like I've been cut off from the world but thanks to the FREE library, I can blog and check blogs and maybe even do Facebook if they allow that.

Life is good here in Montgomery County. I am officially running on fumes but I'm too busy to really notice I think. We have settled into the home on Holt Avenue and, other than the kitchen which I'm doing tonight, I think we have things organized and put away as much as they're going to be. Daycare has gone well for both boys. Adam enjoys the gym they have. He was playing football yesterday when I picked him up. He can run so fast and I love to watch him! I love Camargo Elementary, the school where I'm working four hours a day as NCLB tutor. I've worked for two days and both days I've been asked to sub in the afternoon. This is great! I've met so many nice people. Camargo has a UCES feel about it and that makes my heart smile. Bucky has the majority of his things unpacked at Gateway. I'm anxious to see how he's decorated. The kids at Gateway are really nice. We went roller skating on Sunday afternoon and it's fun to get to know them. I see glimpses of JCC kids all the time in these GCC kids. Bittersweet. By the way, Adam roller skated too and it was hilarious. Luke laughed at all the kids, but no one can make Luke laugh like Adam. It is precious.

The dress code is different here at school than in RC. They dress up and it's district policy! No more sporty spice clothes or tennis shoes for me to teach in and I can only wear jeans on Friday on school spirit day. All this said, I basically have....um....nothing to wear. I have black pants, gray pants, and a not-so-great pair of brown pants, plus khakis. We'll see how this goes. I may be using my NY & Company gift cards this weekend. Kim, wanna babysit while I go shopping? We'll talk.

Please keep in contact. I don't want to put our address and phone number here but call me and I'll share.

So Cute it Hurts

SGW and ARW in December 2005

SGW and LHW in January 2010

Oh, dear. It's been an interesting couple of days. Sunday was our last day at JCC. VERY emotional but we felt so loved and it was great to get to hug everyone and talk to people who have meant so much to us.

We have started the packing process. When people come over I tell them, "Welcome to Chaos!" It is crazy here just with packing but Adam has decided to play with every toy he's ever had and so there's that mess too. Coy came over to help and entertained Adam yesterday and Mae Mae came over last night. Fun times!

More later. Adam is up and he's needing some hugs!

Our Happy Fellas

Holt Avenue House

This is where we'll make memories during our first months at Mt. Stering. The home is on Holt Avenue. We'll be renting from a family in the church. It has a fenced in backyard for Callie and she can come inside too! It has three bedrooms and one bath, a nice kitchen, a laundry room, and backporch. We'll continue to look for homes to buy. Holt Avenue is a good location for Gateway, Camargo, and the daycare at the Church of God. The daycare facilties are awesome and I hope the boys adjust there quickly. I want them to be loved and I know they will be!

We are doing things around the house to pack up. Bucky wants to wait until after Sunday to do anything big and relax until then. I am doing odds and ends that only I can do to get ready.

Happy 2010!

Super Christmas

Adam Rees and Luke Huffman

This stocking was full of things from Mary Blakey. Adam had a ball going through it!

Luke had a great first Christmas. He's so fun!

Adam loves his Wii. He scored a 227 on bowling the other day.

He has his first tooth. I discovered the breakthrough on Wednesday. It's on the bottom and on the middle left, if that makes sense.
