School Started

School started Monday, so as you can imagine, I haven't had time to journal on our blog. So here's a quick attempt to get everyone caught up. I love my new school in Braselton, West Jackson Primary. I'm teaching 1st grade again and I love my 19 little students. I started out with a lot of boys in my class, but one boy moved and then I got several new students, so it's evened out now. They are so sweet - some of them are still five-years-old. It's hard to imagine that they are so close in age to Preston. They all have their unique personalities and make going to work each day such a joy. Although, I must admit I'm ready for bed when I get home!

Preston and Parker love going to Ms. Crystal's house. Preston has become best friends with Brock, her oldest son, who is four-years-old. Parker has a little friend named Micheal. Crystal is so loving with them. She takes them outside to play, reads books to them, feeds them healthy meals, holds them and loves them. We are so thankful for her. She keeps a daily journal for each of the boys and we love to read them at pick-up time. One day she wrote, "Preston, I mean Dale, Jr., had fun looking out the window with Brock. They were watching the squirrels play." Preston tells everyone that he is going to be Dale, Jr. when he grows up.

Parker will be turning a year old on August 24! We can't believe it. He is so loving and brings so much joy to our lives. He still has just two teeth, but some others are trying to come through which is causing lots of tears. He isn't walking yet. He loves to wrestle with his big brother. Parker will eat just about anything. Ms. Crystal is just amazed. The boy loves food! If Preston won't eat something, we can just give it to Parker! His favorite thing to do is play with the doctor's kit.

Jeremiah is still working at the YMCA. He still needs two more classes to complete his personal training courses, but they haven't been offerred yet. We are leaving in a moment to go work-out and swim (and say hi to daddy). Keep in touch. If we haven't heard from you in a while, send us an email at mrandmrseye@yahoo.com

Love,
Tracy
