Sorry it's been so long.

25 weeks
This was my first week back to work. Thank goodness the first week was all professional development... meaning no kiddos yet. Week 2 of school was when my kindergarteners arrived. My co-teacher (Jacqui) and I currently have 27 students. I have 3 students with special needs and she has 24 general education students. We are going to a whole group setting all day, which has been a challenge so far. Our environment can be a little (I'm being conservative) stressful at times. There is a little (big) voice in our room that I am sure Will would be able to pick out of a room full of people someday. Let's just say that he will never forget his vocals.  Back to school with the kiddos was a hard adjustment, but I imagine each day will get easier. 


We spent week 23 on our Baby-moon in Hawaii. 
This was the most wonderful week. Matt and I spent a week relaxing and enjoying some alone time on the beautiful island of Kauai. Matt was able to enjoy tons of (what looked to be) yummy drinks and I really enjoyed the huge breakfast that I was able to get each morning (waffles, chocolate chips pancakes with the choice of coconut, guava or regular syrup...yum!). 

We took a helicopter ride, which was a wonderful way to see the beauty of Kauai. Unfortunately, the helicopter ride was not something that Will liked. I was very sick. I might just add that this was the first time that I had gotten sick during this pregnancy (I have been very lucky, I know).   I used my "comfort" bags and trooped through. I can only hope that I didn't ruin the trip for the other passengers. I felt horrible, but at least I tried. 
I think I am ready... 
We still managed to get some amazing photos. 

We took a peaceful drive up to a canyon that took my breathe away. 






The wind was blowing... just a little. 

The time that Matt and I spent in Hawaii is a week that I will forever cherish. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't spoil me rotten and treat me like a princess. My life is a fairytale. I have the most amazing husband and another great guy on the way. Someone pinch me...

Short and Sweet

I started back to work on Monday. That means I am extremely tired, but overall still feel really great. I'm getting ready to head to bed (8:41 p.m.) I'll put up a full post this weekend with pictures and updates.

By the way... tomorrow marks 25 weeks!!
