Working

So right now my life is not all that exciting but that is okay because well it is nice to relax. Last monday I started "training" in the two year old room for a full time position, and well i got it. So no I am the full time aide in that room. I am very excited about this mostly because my previous schedule was 7-830am and 130-5pm, and so I wasn't getting many hours, plus I was considered a "floating aide" so they would move me around a lot. Now I get to stay with the same class all the time. I am also still tutoring the two Korean kids and it has been a lot of fun. So mainly my life right now consists of working.
This week I put in my application for going on a study abroad program this summer to Japan, I am hoping everything will work out for it, but we'll have to wait and see. There is a lot of paper work that has to be done. Well that is pretty much my life right now... not too much going on but oh well!

It's A Girl!

So as of Sunday March 8th, 2009 Ethan Holman is a father. I have a new niece! She was born at 3:15 pm (eastern time) She weighs 6lbs 1 oz. Her name is Evelyn Paige (I think that is how they are spelling it) Ethan is really excited to be a father, even though he has been getting a lot of practice with Becca and Mattie. They are both thrilled to have a new baby sister! Anyway just thought I would let everyone know! As soon as I get pictures I will pass them on!

Babies!

So I know I don't post very often, and I'm very sorry (especially to you uncle Scott) but I really haven't been doing anything recently except going to work. Right now I am working at a daycare/preschool. I spend most of my time with infants who are all under a year old. I LOVE THEM! They are sweet and cute and so fun! Over the last week I have been getting pictures of all of them because they are so darn cute that I had to share. But it took me several days because there were only certain times when my hands were free, and then not all of them would be awake so I finally got them all. So here is who I get to play with and I get to call it work.

Stella... She is our quiet cuddlier. She is starting to stand on her own now, it is so exciting! I love this picture... she had just finished eating so she has no shirt, but she looks so proud!


Zev... He is my special little buddy! He is totally wild and very spastic. He always makes me laugh!


Isabelle... She is the sweetest thing... very happy and loves to talk and stick out her tongue! She is an absolutely beautiful baby!


Max... He is a extremely funny baby... He is very laid back, he is usually content just to be and will smile at anyone who talks to him.


Lillian... She is another one of my favorites, She is very particular about lots of things. I couldn't get a good picture of it but she only has one dimple and I think it is the cutest thing the world!


Anne... She is our newest addition but not our youngest. She is a very easy going baby, most of the time she is just sleeping, but more than anything she just loves being talked to.


Hayden... She is our youngest baby but only by a few days. She was born premature so even though she is 3 months old, she only weighs about 12 pounds. She is tiny!


So that is what I do for work! I play with all of them! Starting next week I will be working in the one year old room, and that makes me a little sad, but I don't really have a choice in the matter!

Also for some extra money, on Monday I started tutoring two Korean children in English. They are both really sweet and very smart. There is a boy who is 12 and his sister who is 8. I am having some trouble with ideas of how to teach the girl because she doesn't speak any English... so we'll see how it goes.

This weekend I am going to Arkansas with the Bunraku Bay Puppet Troupe, so wish us luck on our performance!

St. Patrick's Day?

So I was going to be festive and do a Valentines Day blog... but unfortunately as some of you may know I don't really like heart decorations, and my favorite color is not pink. In the end I couldn't bring myself to it, so St. Patrick's Day it is.

Plus this means I won't have to change my layout until the end of March!
