Summer Lovin'

You know the school year has begun when our blog posts are few and far between. Although we still have a good month until the official end of summer, as teachers we measure summer by when we have to go back to work!

What a special summer it was. Although I taught summer school, it was the longest I ever got to be with Faith (I had a 4 week maternity leave after having her, yes c-section and all). It was just sooooo nice to be a family! I (Jen) will be working part time as a reading specialist again this year which will allow me flexibility to be with Faith.


We have not published the drama we have had with our nurses or the nursing agency- we are taking the high road on that one. As you know we were very worried we wouldn’t find someone by the time school started. Well the LORD really worked everything out and we have found an outstanding nurse to work the days I am at school. We are still working out the kinks as we switch over to a new agency, so I am taking a few weeks off of school until we get everything squared away. Not the way I wanted to start the year off but it is our only choice. We are very blessed and excited about our new nurse though! Now if we could only get some help at night! ;)

I realized that there were a lot of pictures from our summer we have not shared with all of you. So it was a great excuse to put together another montage! Enjoy!

Hello there Faith,
It looks like you had a very fun summer. You sure have grown a lot. Maybe you can convince your brother's ( dogs ) to take you for horse back rides during the winter,LOL. They are very big and I think they love you. I am glad you are doing well and will continue to keep you in my prayers.

Love always, Beth Mullins
( your Aunt Susans friend)

I can only imagine the drama with the nurses. Our nursing story is long and tedious. It still goes on even when we've found a good one. Good Luck! I want to post our nurse story. I won't because I feel for those of you who don't have night nurses. I remind myself---- be thankful for what I do have. If I can help we've been through it. Even changed agencies which was scary but good.
