Hello to all and happy June! Can't believe this school year is OVER and it is officially sweet summertime! We have had a CRAZY wonderful year and are enjoying every minute of it! We are super happy that school is over and that we get to spend LOTS more family time at home with these sweet babies!
For those who are wondering...I made it through the last two weeks of school! It was CRAZY hard to leave those babies, but I also knew that it was just for two weeks which made it a lot better. Being a working mom is HARD work and I admire all of those women out there who have ever tried to get themselves, their husbands, and their babies ready and to the baby-sitter before 7:00!!! What an adventure! It was actually nice to go back for a little bit because my students were SO happy to see me...which is a nice feeling! But at the end of the day...I missed my babies! I went home everyday at lunch for some quick snuggles and kisses and then rushed back to school. I probably put more miles on my car these past two weeks then the previous 11 weeks at home...ha!
Which brings me to the next announcement...I have officially resigned as a teacher at Lake View to pursue another career...being a MOMMY! I am beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to stay home with my sweet babies for as long as possible! After waiting 7 years for these guys I could not imagine having to leave them everyday! It is going to be hard...we are going to have to sacrifice some things we are used to...but in the end we both feel that it is what is best for our family! I am planning on doing some tutoring for SAISD next year part-time, which will help with the income and allow me to stay connected to education. But my number one job will be staying at home which is AWESOME!

| Best job EVER! |
Other than that, things are good! I have a few things to tie up with ASU this summer including my Practicum to get principal certified and a Comprehensive Program Review to receive my diploma. My super-helpful advisor allowed me to hold these off to the summer since the twins came in March which was a huge blessing. I'm not excited to have to spend hours away from the twins, but I want to get everything completed so that one day when I go back to work I will have some other options than just teaching. God is good and I know the time will pass quickly!
In other news...the twins are WONDERFUL!!! Seriously could not ask for better babies! They are the two sweetest things in the whole world and they light up our lives everyday! They are getting so fun...smiling and starting to laugh! Both are getting stronger and we are working on sitting in our bumbo chairs! They are both still nursing and eating well and are out-growing clothes! Tucker is even stretching out his 3-month onesies in length which is awesome! Both babies nap well and have been sleeping GREAT at night! Our night-time routine involves bath-time, bible stories, nursing, and then a quick (5 min or less) rocking and they go right to sleep! They are still waking up once during the night but only for a quick nursing and then go straight back down. They sleep 10 hours (getting up once) from whenever they go to sleep which is WONDERFUL! In the morning they are full of smiles and laughter and love playing and cuddling! We are so blessed by their sweet spirits and love the JOY they have brought to our home! Our hearts are full!
Hope everyone has a GREAT summer! Maybe I can find more time to blog now that school is out!
