Things Are in Full Swing

Things are finally feeling like they are in full swing! Mooney is growing everyday and she is playing more and more. She now seems to be awake more then she sleeps. But she's just like a pup, she wants to bite and taste everything. I can' wait till Penny feels like she can play with Mooney full-speed. Maybe by Thanksgiving.

As far as Nicole and I, we are finally starting to feel like we have our feet on the ground from the beginning of both our school years. Nicole is progressing quite well in her courses and I am starting to feel more confident with my lesson plans. This year is my first year teaching English and I have had to get over the initial shock of teaching a subject that I am not too familiar with. But now I am doing Epic Poetry and its giving me an opportunity to bring in the historical side to texts. The kiddos I have this year are great and most respect what I'm trying to do. I have also already had some great experiences and look forward to what's ahead.

See ya all,

Our New Puppy!!!!

Matt and I brought home our new puppy last night! We had been thinking about getting another dog ever since the last one didn't work out. We saw an add in the paper last week and decided to go with it. She is a Miniature Schnauzer, she's 7 wks. and we named her Moony. I know...it sounds funny but it's special to us. It's a nickname of a Harry Potter character and it suits her well :) She's tiny right now but she'll get to be somewhere between 15-20 lbs. The breeder that we got her from was a local woman. She was very nice and clearly loved all her dogs. Matt told me she had quite a few :) The place was clean and that matters most. Anyways, she's already got a great personality and we're really excited to have her. Enjoy the pic! We'll get more soon!
