When a woman gets an orchid

...it's, well, she feels like she is floating on a cloud of infinite possibility.

(from the adorably cheesy movie, The Perfect Man)

It is the absolute best when you get to come home to the laundry done and this gorgeous flower sitting on the dining room table!  I am a lucky girl to have such a fantastic husband.  (Isn't it smart of Home Depot to sell  flowers?)

Back to School

Well, summer is officially over!

In fact, the first week of school is now complete! 

I am excited for the new year and to get to know all 31 of my kids.  My new class appears to be pretty nice and mellow...quite the change from last year.  So here's to a fresh start each year!

My new bulletin board - I love it!

(Notice some of the unique names?)
