School Things

This was a post that I wrote last week, but it never posted! So now it's been three weeks since these happened!

Ellie had a project to do for school last week. This is the diorama she made for her desert unit. She is so creative and artistic, she definately takes after her dad and not me! I love watching my baby girl grow up into such a talented young lady.

Amelia had a fever last week--all week! We spent many late nights with her, trying to let her cool down and keep her mind off her ears. Her poor ears have had infection for three weeks. She is still a happy baby during the day, but she is miserable at night when she has time to think about the pain.

The kids had field day at school the day before Spring Break started. Ellie had fun running around with her friend Courtney, playing all the games and activities that were available. Noah was running around with his friend Zion. He was a pretty good jump ropper. I was so glad that I wasn't working or (dead tired from working!) so that I could go watch them. It's these moments that I miss and am sad that I missed for so many years while I was busy with school. I'm glad for every opportunity to watch them play and learn!

Surprise!! I got a text from Jonathan, one of the kids I nannied in Germany! He was on his Senior Class Trip here and I got to swing by the hotel and visit him! He was Ellie's age when I was his nanny. Oh my! I can't believe how time has flown! It seems like just yesterday that I was flying off on my adventure to Germany to be a live-in nanny for this family!
