Our 2010 in a nutshell PART 1

Our 2010 in a nutshell….

Well, January was a hard month for me. Ford turned 8 months old and I went back to work. As many of you know teaching is the career path that I chose and so back to the classroom I went. I wasn’t a regular education teacher, yet a special education teacher. Little did I know, that would be the easiest job ever. Many days I wish I were still in that same situation.

January highlights or some of my favorite pictures.

March

I always thought this picture was funny.  I walked into the kitchen to find Trey watching some steaks broil.  This was the first time we had broiled steaks and I guess it was amusing. 

I started collecting the state quarters.  No, I never finished.  I think I lack about 12.  It’s much harder than I thought. 

Sleeping baby with his pacies.  Sadly we still have them. 


I had to take Trey to the ER because he got the “stomach bug” which ended up being more than that… a bacterial infection and he spent a two night mini-vacay at the hospital.


 Ford hated the grass on his hands

Puddin and I recovered my dinning room chairs…. Before

 At Daddy's office looking for a file!!!
 Just taking some pics

 Ford got a shot and he wanted that band-aid OFF!
 Dollar Tree treasure
 His bunny ears... which he still loves

Ohhhhhh I will never forget when Trey came home with his military haircut.  The shortness of the doo wasn’t what freaked me out, yet the fact that my husband came home with HAIR GEL!!!  He later corrected me and said it was paste.  Needless to say, this was all new to me and he does not use it anymore thank goodness.  There isn’t enough room in this house for 2 people with hair products.

Trey let Delta escape one night.  I am pointing fingers this time because she was on his watch.  After several hours we realized she was missing (we weren’t home).  She was gone for 2 days.  I was frantic and had driven all over Mayberry looking for this dog.  After school I made posters and began hanging them around town when a neighbor called and said she fell in a hole near her deck.
