Back to work! I have started back to work this week- I had forgotten what it was like to get up at 6 a.m. (and stay up for the day!) I left Jefferson Elem. to go to Barrow County to do a job share with a friend of mine. It was hard to leave Jefferson, where I was so happy- but I think it is going to work out. I am working Tuesdays and Thursdays and every other Friday, so I think the schedule is going to be perfect. We will be teaching first grade reading- which I am very passionate about- so that is exciting. I am so thankful that family is going to be taking care of Tyler - except he is going get even more spoiled than ne already is :)
It has been a happy week in Jefferson- John's health has been improving and Wylie got a big boy four wheeler! He is so cute on it- he rides in circles on the turn-around in front of their house.

Tyler had his four month check-up last Thursday and the doctor said he looked great. He had to get shots, but it was a better expereince than the two month shots. He pitched a royal fit during the two month shots and then he did not sleep very well for a couple of nights- but this time around we did not miss a minute of sleep! He is sleeping about ten hours at night now- so we are all enjoying that! Also, he started on oatmeal and carrots this week, which he has thoroughly enjoyed. We cannot get the carrots in his mouth fast enough! In between bites he kicks and squeals.

Friday night we went out with some friends in Atlanta. It was very fun to get to hang out with friends that we do not get to see as often as we would like. I can already tell that Sara and Kyle are going to spoil Tyler rotten, considering that they had toys waiting on him- even before he can play with them! Also, we recently found out that two of our friends are expecting- one in March and one in April- so we are all excited about that!

Then Saturday we had a celebration dinner at a friend's house for the completion of our Specialist degree- we are so thankful to not be making that drive to Tennessee any more. I really miss my friends from Jefferson, so it was very fun to catch up with them. It was difficult to leave such an awesome school, and great people. However, I still feel like the job share is going to work out- it has just been difficult to let go of such a good thing. I start pre-planning at my new school next week- so that is exciting!

Again this week we have been enjoying Wylie and Ashley (I included some pictures of the three kids playing- they are so much fun together!) Please keep Jamie's brother, John in your prayers as he continues to battle TTP.

We have managed to stay busy the last two weeks and I am just getting around to posting. We have been spending time with Ashley and Wylie, which has been very enjoyable for all three of us! Tyler loves to watch them play. Ashley has been at our house a lot and every once in a while when she is playing she will stop and say "Hi Ty Ty" it is so cute! She and Wylie both are so sweet to him and you can tell he already looks up to them. Tyler and I go to a playgroup on Mondays called Bundles of Joy, which we both really enyoy. He has really started to acknowledge the other babies, which is really fun to watch! Here are some pictures from the last two weeks- I have forgotten to pull the camera out as much as usual- but I did capture a few playful moments! Tyler and Ashley love to be read to- one of the pictures is of Jamie reading Tyler's favorite book, The Little Fish Who Cried Shark- he loves the pop-up pictures and all the colors.
