MA TESOL Update:

I'm finished! Seriously, finished! Today, I finalized my two term papers, organized my final binder, and even finished the last-minute thesis prospectus assigned today. Except for collecting a few more summaries from my classmates, I'm through. And all that entails is punching holes and adding to the binder. I've written my last word. I'm turning in final assignments for one class tomorrow, and will turn in final assignments for the next class on Friday--but I'm only waiting because of the summaries. Unless I've really screwed up these term papers, I'll bring home two A's.

Now, I get to spend all my spare time between now and Thursday polishing the presentation my colleague and I are giving at the Adult Basic Skills conference in Charlotte, NC.

I'm going to cross post this everywhere--so if you travel where I travel in Cyberspace, then you'll read this three or four times.

Mara's Physical Fitness Routine

"Mommie! These are my eskercises!"
She proceeds to jump around the house doing "jumping jacks," bend over backwards to stretch, sit on all fours bouncing her bottom up and down for "push ups," and so forth. It really is hilarious!

Strolling down memory lane...

I started looking at some old pictures, and decided I needed to catch this blog up. We've missed a lot of special events that happened before I started the blog. I think I've gone overboard, however, and posted so many pics that now you'll have to check out July's archives to see them all. Also, if you haven't seen the Fourth of July pics, they'll be archived, too. I hope you enjoy the memories!

P.S.--I just checked, and it looks like they're not archived. The most recent pics are still just up on the site. But go check the archives anyway!
