A few things...

Spring Break went too fast!  It was seriously just a teaser for the summer.  Nine more weeks to go!  Before I forget some of these things, I just wanted to do a little update on each von M family member.

Erick
He's training for the Wichita Half Marathon and I am so very proud of him!  There have been many times when he's started running again and then stopped.  This time, he has been so determined and motivated.  Can't wait to watch him cross the finish line on May 1.  Erick also started a new job not too long ago with Copy Products Inc.  He was losing his passion for his previous career and wanted to make a change.  Just today, he made his first sale!  Now I am double proud! :)

Ava
She's been very into sports lately.  She has been begging to play soccer, but we didn't get her signed up in time, so we'll have to wait a bit on that.  She does have a soccer ball that she loves kicking around and now a tee ball set.  Gymnastics start tomorrow night and swimming lessons on Saturday.  Hoping to keep her busy!


Brecken
B-man is now a full time walker.  During break, he was off and on, but walking more and more each day.  Now he doesn't crawl unless he wants to get somewhere super fast!  Then...ZOOM!  Off he goes!  He loves to play catch with us.  He tosses pretty well!  He also likes to help Ava feed her babies or just use a bowl and spoon and pretend to stir.  As for talking, he is still just babbling and randomly saying hi, dada, mama.  This morning, Erick and I swear he said, "Ava!"  Pretty darn cute!  B-man also starts swimming lessons this Saturday.  A little nervous about it since he didn't really like his first time in the pool.  One month from today Brecken will be ONE YEAR OLD.  Amazing how time flies!  I've already made the invitations to his party...I'm not excited or anything. :)

Me
Now on to me.  Hmmm.  I don't know.  Budget cuts across our state and district for schools are making me nervous.  I feel that I will still have a job next school year, but I am not sure what it will be.  Will my position get cut?  I have no clue.  Could I go back to the classroom?  Possibly.  Does that scare me?  Yes and no.  I definitely don't see myself staying out of the classroom forever.  I wish there was some sort of rotation where I could be an instructional coach (sorry--MTSS facilitator) for a few years, then a classroom teacher for a few years, and back again.  Anyways, enough of that.  I am also trying to save for a new camera.  I have wanted a "big girl" camera for over a year now.  So, if anyone would like to order some jewelry, check out Guy and Eva's new Spring/Summer catalog at http://www.guyandeva.com/our-jewelry/catalog/?repurl=vonm.  :)  

Okay, Ava has finally really gone to bed (I think) after an hour of getting in and out of bed.  I am off to spent some quality time with the husband!

Right after I add a few more pics...
