Toot! Toot!

I'm a total blog slacker lately. We are pretty much getting to the point of being organized and unpacked in our new house. We are absolutely loving it. I feel so grateful to be in such a nice house at such a young age. It's nice to be in a home that we feel like we can stay in until we downsize one day.

So, what's been happening around here???

Audrey had her teacher conference today, and she is doing amazing. I was worried about moving her schools again, but she is so adaptable and bright, and I just love her two teachers. They seem to really recognize the different needs of each student and they are catering to their students levels. I couldn't be happier with Audrey's education.

Sadie has started Joy School. Myself and 9 other mom's have organized a preschool for our 10 children. We are teaching in teams of two, two months out of the school year. We have some great kids in the group and helping them learn is so much fun. I'm thinking about substitute teaching here and there, just because I love it so much.

Porter is running everywhere. His vocabulary is exploding right now. His sisters were excellent talkers, and I didn't think he would speak to their level but he is starting to prove me wrong. I feel like life is moving much too fast with him right now. I fear my baby day's are quickly slipping away, so I am trying to enjoy every last moment I can get with his chubby little toes and cheeks.

Mike spent some time in Canada for work and really enjoyed to cultural differences. We are heading down to the dunes in the am for some quality family camping time and he's worked hard to get us ready for our trip. I can tell he is ready to get away again.

As for me, I spent a weekend up in Park City with the girls from LittleDreamerDesigns.com for a digital scapbook get away retreat. It was so much fun to put faces with names to so many ladies I have only communicated with on the computer. Michelle, our host, took our photo's and she is an awesome photographer. I think it's little weird to post a pic of myself, but it's not to often you have a professional photo taken of yourself, so I wanted to share. She did an amazing job.
Well it's off to sleepy time so I can get up and go camping! Happy Weekend!
