laundry list
My list of things to do this week:
- Run tomorrow and Saturday.
- Visit the new baby.
- Finish transferring dates to my new calendar.
- Finish a major project for school that I started over break.
- Go to the grocery store.
- Pay some bills.
- Catch up on some reading. (I'm way behind on a book I started at Christmas.)
- Get the Christmas decorations up to the attic.
- Turn in new tax forms at work.
- Catch up on grading projects and posting grades.
And today is the first day back with students! I hope I get at least one or two things done.
it's a boy!
Jackson arrived at 6:05 pm last night weighing in at 8 pounds 8 ounces and 19 inches in length. Mom and baby are fine, both just a little sleepy but adjusting to their new world. I'll post pictures soon!

a note from little J
Dear Nanna and Papaw,
Thank you so very much for taking me to the Children's Museum last week. I enjoyed it so much and I kept trying to tell my mama about it but she just didn't understand so I gave up. It was a really cool place though and I want to go back again soon. It was really nice of you to spend some time with me so that mama and dada could go see a movie and have lunch. You are wonderful grandparents and parents! I love you!

the year of the baby
Apparently 2007 is going to be the year of the baby. I know no less than 9 people who are currently pregnant. Most of those are having boys. My sister-in-law is due on Wednesday and may be induced tomorrow. It is making me think a lot about having #2. My obsessive-complusive nature regarding calendars/planning/dates is already calculating sibling distance, etc. Why am I so weird?
Anyway, love the babies. Hate all of this school work I have to do. I hate that tomorrow is basically a Monday. I hate that today is the last day of break.
So.
I'll leave you with a few of my goals for 2007. Keep in mind that I didn't say they weren't going to be original.
Fun times ahead! I can't wait!

- Cook more.
- Spend less money.
- Save more money.
- Scrapbook more.
Fun times ahead! I can't wait!

Happy New Year!
Okay my little blogging hiatus is officially over. I had to take a break for lots of reasons, most of which you don't want to hear so I won't bore you. Just know I'm back. I've got TONS of adorable new pictures and videos to show you. Hope you enjoy!
Julianna has changed a bunch since I last posted. She's learned to crawl and is almost walking. She's taken a few steps and ventures out on her own pretty often now. There's never a dull moment with her these days. She even stands up in her crib and plays for a while before she decides to finally take a nap.
Work has been good, but a little hectic. It's been very nice to have a couple of weeks off for the holidays. I moved classrooms at school so I spent a lot of time the last week at school trying to get organized and adjusted in my new environment. The new room is a lot nicer though so it's been exciting. Anyway, I've had a HUGE project for work that I've been having to work on over Christmas break which is no fun, but at least I've been getting it done while big J babysits. It's good for him to have alone time with the little girl too.
Yesterday, mom and dad actually kept little J so that we could go to the movies and to lunch which was SO NICE. We even got to take a nap on the couch! It was awesome!
Well, I can't write much more without starting to ramble so I'll quit while I'm ahead (or at least while I think I am). More on Monday...
