School Starts

Most of you know that I started school this week, but so did Josh! He started Seminary this week at Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. He will be pursuing a Master of Arts in Old Testament. Last Fall he started Hebrew with Colin Smith and was still taking Hebrew from him when Colin unexpectedly passed away this summer. Colin did such a great job teaching that Josh passed the Hebrew placement exam at Grand Rapids! This is a big deal as Hebrew is a two day a week class and we live 3 hours from the Seminary. Now Josh only has to go in one day a week. This semester he is taking an OT class and the book of Jeremiah. All that know Josh, know that he is a continual student, so he is so excited to be back in school again!

I started back full time this week teaching 3rd grade. I absolutely loved it. I have 44 total students; 22 students in each class. I am teaching Math, Social Studies, and Character Education/Bullying. Because of all of the orientation stuff I've only started teaching Math and this next week we'll dive into the other two subjects. It has been a lot easier of a transition than I thought it would be.

Annabelle started back to Miss Cindy's this week. She had a tough time the first day when Daddy left her, but did great the rest of the week. She really loves the kids and Miss Cindy. I couldn't ask for a better sitter. We feel truly blessed to have found Cindy.

Here are some pics of our days back!

Annabelle with Miss Cindy in the morning, not too happy. :-(

This was the only one Josh got of her.

My picture was actually taken after school. I wanted to get a picture with my co-teacher, but the day flew by so fast we never had time! Also, I had high heel shoes on and they were off by the time Josh took this pic!
