5 Days and Counting

Well today is Nisa's last day before she goes on maternity leave. Brayden is supposed to make his grand appearance July 5th. She will come back to work in November. We will actually be sharing an office when she comes back. Don't worry, Nisa, I'll take care of the decorating while you are gone. I have a great egg exhibit that I know you will love! Just kidding.....I'll miss you, hurry back. The HMH just won't be the same without you. Best wishes to the whole Peek family. 

Looking for Daddy

Mike has been out of town for work and Bailey and I both miss him so much when he is gone. For some reason, Bailey is obsessed with Mike's shoes. She likes to put her toys in them and take them out. She could do this all day. I couldn't resist posing her in this pair. Here is also a picture of her happy. Haven't seen too much of this lately because her top 2 teeth are coming through and she is also battling a little cold.

InTech Day 4: Journal Reflection

You have had an opportunity to see CD-ROMs containing 600 megabytes of information on a single topic (Imagination Express) and the Internet, which gives you worldwide access to information. With these vast resources of information at your fingertips, how will your teaching role change?

InTech day 3: Journal Reflection

How have your beliefs about teaching, learning, and technology integration evolved throughout the InTech training? How has your vision changed since the first day of InTech?

The Adventures of TRYING to Eat Out

We all had a great time when Grandma and Grandpa McBride came up to visit. She was such a good girl when we went to town for a little bit that we decided to eat out. Reality set in about 10 minutes after arriving at Smokey Bones. She just doesn't care to sit in the chair or our laps when there are so many places to explore in the restaurant. So that was a short but sweet trip out. I can't fuss too much. She is cutting her 2 top teeth, so I know that can't be fun for her either. 

InTech Day 2: Journal Reflection

What did you see or do during Day 1 that you could implement in your classroom? Reflect on your own personal growth in these areas: technology skills and technology integration.

InTech Day 1 Reflection

What do you hope to gain from this experience? How do you envision your classroom changing with the use of technology?

Charlie B: Before and After

Charlie B went into the vet as a Golden Retriever and came out a white Lab! Who knew he was soooo skinny under all of that hair. This is the first time we have had him shaved and he seems to love it. He isn't panting nearly as much and I'll love that in the middle of the night. 

Into EVERYTHING!

Now that Bailey is an accomplished crawler, she has set her sights higher. And by higher I mean anything she isn't supposed to get into. The stairs and cabinets are constantly calling out for her attention. Since "No, Bailey, no, no, no, no", doesn't work, Mike and I have started babyproofing. From cabinet locks to gates, we have been busy trying to make our home safe for our little explorer. Bailey just looks at us with that sneaky little grin and I can tell she is thinking one thing.....A challenge!!!!!!!!!!

Mike's First Father's Day

Well, we just finished celebrating Mike's first Father's Day. Bailey and I took him to Steak & Shake. While we were there I ordered a brownie sundae. This was Bailey's first sample of icecream and she loved it. Everytime she saw me load up the spoon she would start to giggle and then laugh out loud because she knew what was coming. I guess we share a passion for sweets!

Then Bailey gave Mike a framed collage of pictures of them together from this past year. It sure brought back a lot of memories looking at those.

Of course we hit the neighborhood pool afterward. We had to work off all of those calories from lunch! I think Mike really enjoyed his special day. I hope so, because he is a very special dad.

Happy Birthday, Meemaw!

Not only is today Flag Day, it is my Mom's birthday.
Mike, Bailey, and I love you, Granny Lynn! And in honor of your special day, Bailey has done something very special for you. She posed for her first picture standing on her own.

Watch out Walmart, here we come!

Bailey and I had an interesting trip at Walmart yesterday. Now that Miss Independent is a pro at crawling, that is all she wants to do. I just didn't think the Supercenter Store was the best place for that. So she cried the whole time she was in the buggy. Couldn't I see the miles and miles of polished linoleum that were calling her name? I looked through my purse to find something to divert her attention. The TicTac container worked for about 5 minutes. She even figured out how to open the little tab. So out flew the mints! Then she had the great idea to start the "opps I dropped the TicTacs again" game. 5 minutes after having Mommy bend over again and again she got bored again and proceeded to throw the TicTacs box at people. She has a pretty good aim for a 10 month old. After a couple of dirty looks I broke down and I gave her the nasty keychain that I previously would hide from her so she wouldn't put them in her mouth. Of course after gnawing on those a couple of minutes she figured out they weren't so tasty after all. At that point only being held by Mommie would do. Needless to say, toting an extra 20 pounds helped to end our shopping trip pretty quick.

In April, Bailey celebrated her first Easter. Mike and I also had our first date night since Bailey has been born. We went to a Thrasher's game. When Mom came to visit, we visited the Marietta Square.
