Happy 1st Father's Day

Dear Daddy,

Thank you for everything you do for me and mommy. You take such good care of us, especially when I was brand new and mommy was still recovering from delivering me and getting used to being a new mommy. Although I am only 4 weeks old, I know that you are going to be the best daddy ever. I love the high pitched voice that you use to talk to me in, sleeping on your chest, and when you change my diaper. My favorite time with you is when you wake up early and play with me while we let mommy sleep in a little longer. 

Happy first Father's Day!

Love, 

Madeline 

Maddy Visits Room 22

I took Maddy to meet my students today while they were having their end of year party. I was very lucky to have an enjoyable class this year, I love 2nd grade! The students were so excited to see us, Maddy slept through the whole visit. We figured she was "at home" because she was already used to the noise of my class from pregnancy. Next year I will be teaching the 5th grade GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) magnet class with another teacher. I am so happy to be able to stay at my current school and to work part-time, I feel very lucky to be able to spend as much time as possible with Maddy during her first year, and to keep my job. It'll be a challenge to adjust to the new (lower) income, but so worth it!

(I took my camera with me, but completely forgot to take any pictures.)

Tomorrow is a busy day, we have lunch with one of my oldest friends Alexis and her mom, Beryl, who was my Girl Scout leader, then we are visiting Auntie Laurel (who will have our niece Bella sometime in the next 3 weeks!) and Uncle Josh, then we are going to my school's staff end of year party. This will be our biggest day out so far!

Cutie Pie Maddy

We took more pictures of Maddy yesterday in an attempt to get one to use for her birth announcement (which is now finished, a sample has been ordered)!

Here are some of the cutest ones :)
